    If you get enough lift to reduce the weight of the car it will reduce your traction. if you have traction control it will drive that crazy, also you may find yourself drifting of across the autoroute into the crash barrier as you lose traction, now this will endear you to all the french drivers around, A Rosbif joining in their national sport of barrier bending avec un voiture, but will go down like a lead balloon with your wife and family, who you ,may find actually matter more to you than you think at this point.also if you have imbibed too many of the aforementioned John Smiths monsieur le Gendarme will take your licence and throw it into the nearest river never to be seen again and ask for lots of money to fund the next Gendarme summer barbecue back at the hotel de police, and their drink drive limit is lower than ours believe it or not,

    some had 5/8" master cylinder, some 14mm, the usa model RD,s had the 14 mm master cylinder, but they should all work the calipers ok merv
  5. all i can add to that is by opting out you are giving them your number which there is a fair chance they do not have, seems like a good scam for harvesting numbers too me, remember the number calling you is displayed on your phone, anything witheld or i do not like the look of i reject nowadays merv

    i am not sure if the 400 one will be up too the job if your 500 has twin discs up font, but if it is single then fine i reckon rebuild the XS one as well, or a more modern one will go on , recently clssic mechanics did a projest on a Rd250 to attempt too get it too do 120 mph, they used a more modern front mastercylinder and said the braking was greatly improved merv

    Vic do you have a parts list for your bike ??? if so check that, but what happens is that yamaha change model designations every year but very often the old parts/part numbers are still used, and the updated parts get the new numbers some of the last 1970/80 Rd,s were still using parts fitted to the old YR5/DS7 in the engines and they had the same part numbers all the way through Merv

    He's being melted down and recycled into a playstation -- so kids can still play with him His Ghost has been found wandering the children's ward. He was trying to put the Willies up them ! Apparently his heart attack was brought on by him tripping over a pram, Doctors say its too early to "Blame it on the buggy" ! Some say it was food poisoning as he's been eating 12 year old nuts... Apparently it wasn't a heart attack...He was found in the children's ward having a stroke ! What's the difference between him and Alex Ferguson. Ferguson will be playing Giggs in August.. He hasn't been this stiff since McCauley Culkin stayed over ! He managed to whisper on his way to hospital to the paramedics...Could you put me in the children's ward. Doctors believe his heart attack was hereditary problem, the think he had a defective Billy Gene. Jockeys at tomorrows race meeting will wear black armbands out of respect for Jacko who successfully rode more 3 year olds than anyone in living history.. What a coincidence, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson dying on the same day. One played with Majors, the other played with Minors..
