Doger - mine are still on original chain / sprokets. Bike has 26k on it and is a 06.. I ride everyday pretty much too. Chain looks okay on mines, but the rear Sproket has had better days - lol... Also RE Levers, Titax levers are very wobbley and may make a noise when riding. Pazzo [or ny...

Hi there - i'v just bought a hybrid GSX muscel bike, which has a busa rear swing arm fitted. To me, it seems more of a straight line bike, then an agile bike. Don't get me wrong, they are cracking bikes... however i would not use it for everyday use, tho many people do - Thats what the FZ6 is...

If ya ask nicely, a main dealer may lend you the correct tool... Not sure, as i have never really asked myself. Oh also, get some good quality fork oil - i used Silkolene 15wt fork oil, but there is loads to choose from to be honest.

Ah - i missed your last line - lol I used the old bits to seat the new bits in place... and tapped em in place until they were seated properly... May require two [four hands] tho, i had my dad hold the the fork leg while i did the tapping. The seals pretty much slid in place... i smeared...

Hi Greg - i did not too long ago... took the opponunity to upgrade too Hyperpro front/rear springs. Rear still has to be resprung [haven't hade time to take the rear shock off]. Hagon/Racetech are good products too, not much price difference really i noticed. PDQ in taplow can get em for a...

I use a little of my chain wax... spray a little into the lock, and work in using your key, after a while... it should start to loosen up :) I do this whenever it feels a little sticky. I used WD40 before, but i find it doesn't last as long.. vj

I do feel for ya matey, a few weeks back after just finished my daily graft... Hyped up that its home time etc. etc. Walked around back, to where i was parked and noticed my rear tyre was deflated/flat looking - @£$$£@ was my impression, not again. So called up my Rescue service [sixth time...

A guy i work with builds crazy bikes [i just bought from from him]... his last machine [or few] had a super charger fitted/tuned and it did not have such a huge swing arm(?)... guess it all on the builder. I'll post a few pics of my new bike, once i take delivery [think muscle bikes...] vj

Nice car chap - i'v always liked them Mazda's... :rockon:

Whooop - Yamaha have agreed to replace the faulty TPS unit free of charge as part of their Recall scheme. Thanks again Karen, I was really under the impression that it was machines prior to 2006 that had the faulty TPS unit, guess not :thumbup: For anyone interested - Yamaha UK can be...

Thanks Karen - I shall try the dealer Monday AM. However would it matter if my bike is a 2006 machine... and not prior..? I was reading this effected 2005/4 machines more then 06+. thanks again, cheers.

Hi Chaps - my 2006 machine has developed a fault which is very suspect of a faulty TPS unit. This all started on Tuesday. Was 3/4's of the way to work, filtering through usual London traffic, and i lost all 'drive' - the engine RPM's went from 1450 to 900, 750, 500/450 and 0... This has...

Cheer bro for clearing that up... Now if i had a propylene torch, i polly do more damage then good - lol Thanks again, cheers... vj

My Lower race seemed like it was welded to the bottom... In the end, i had to dremel the sucker off... [i did not have access to a torch]. Did the race just slip off after expanding/heating a little...? This thread really really helped me, so just paying my dues... Top Man..!! cheers, vj
