Posted June 21, 201311 yr 1998 Mk 1 Red 34,000 miles. T&T. Just not being used. 100% reliable. New Bridgestone tyres. New front wheel bearings. New brake pads all round. Newish Yuasa battery. Bad bits (there's always some!). The speedo has stopped working, probably I have refitted the speedo-drive incorrectly after the tyre change. The bodywork is a bit shabby, plastics not holed at all but some scratches. £850 Saw this ad - no photo, anybody got any experience with these please?
June 22, 201311 yr Ps. Crackin wee bike. Commute daily on mine besides the odd bit of touring so use it for most things.
June 26, 201311 yr Author It's just that i read a report of the thread on the output shaft that the drive sprocket is fixed to not having a great deal of thread on it, if the forward cog comes loose and mashes the thread it can mean another shaft. yamaha did come up with a larger nut but the shaft design didn't change with the carb models apparently, i found this a bit off putting. Doesn't sound like you guys had that issue thankfully..
