great bikes, enjoy

to get your mpg I suggest a little compromise in your riding style something like this should do

not an Anime fan then

don't forget to tax it

not it was #1 that was leaking not super weak by any stretch just a tweek needed on the carbs. I think that the PO crushed the rubber O ring as it was really hard to pull out and was peened over

look for part number here and google it http://www.yamahapart.com/oemparts/c/yamaha_motorcycle/parts

nice gesture

this is the oldest pic I have Stafford 2009 toy run 2009

took the head off today and it was fairly coked up. cyl #4 was running slightly weak. when the head was off this greeted me now I have a spare barrel from the FZ engine, but the bores in this still have their honing present maybe i can get the liners changed over into the fz barrel thoughts please?

wonder if you can get one made? have you tried getting the part number and goggleing it, do pictures as well as text search

no I'm Spartan... btw

it was but I checked out the condition and was the right price at the time

not good, barstewards

or that mankini photo (shudder!)

well I did the opposite, first few miles, take it fairly easy not loading the engine. the next 20 or so I gave it some letting the engine rev to 80% of its top end and not loading the engine up. This stops the bores glazing and helps seal the piston rings. I used mineral oil for that, then I drained and put semi synth in with a new filter. Bike ran a dream for the 6 years I owned it and no puff of smoke at all!
