What exactly is wrong with the exhaust, as to pass a mot, it just must not leak and must have an eu stamp. So bodge job repair can be done 8)

the top end is reasonably easy to work on, at least no harder than any other 4cyl 8v head, a specific tool is needed to allow you to remove the shims with out stripping the cams out which was around £20 last time I looked.

If you remove the cam cover on these engines I would recommend using silicone to reseal the rubber gasket ( Yamaha recommend using one of the yammabond products ) or else it'll leak oil for a past time.

the engine is the same as an fz600 so if your looking for something other than motad I believe micron do a full system which should fit.
