    Valve Adjustments, have you had it done?

    Just had mine checked at 56k miles (first time). All within spec :eek: Mechanic also said they were all very similar, which he was quite impressed with. Also, cam chain adjustment was only half way through. Guess I'm good for another 50k :thumbup: Gotta love Yamaha quality. Cheers...

    Show me your chicken strips

    Thanks for your comments, just to be clear, that's not what they normally look like! Those pics are taken after several sighting laps (at normal road speeds) to check road condition etc. The lap we do has no houses, side streets or any other cross roads. Once we are comfortable with the...

    +1, was about to say the same thing. If you do the airbox mod + aftermarket filter you get a nice induction roar :thumbup: Double check everything you did. Good luck. Mac.

    Radiator Hoses, S1 Vs S2

    Thanks for the Partzilla link, I'll check it out. I always see incorrect descriptions, I have bought several things before that turn out ok. I think some people just get lazy. I will ask before I buy. I know OEM would be better, but the cost here in Aussie is hard to swallow.... Thanks...
