coating on rd250 cases
PJ1 black satin is the way to go, no primer required. I never seen a better paint to resist fuel and heat. I cried when the main factory was burned down ( well not quite!) as they stopped making My yamaha silver for the xs cases. they only make black now!! The stuff yambits sells is crap, it runs and you have to bake it forever to get the petrol resistance ( and it still pools silver if you spill on it) drewps

flangers? do you mean the collars that hold the exhaust to the head? yep you would need those to get a gas tight seal! a dim head lamp could be a bad earth lead, so check all your black wire's connections and the bit under the seat where it touches the frame, make sure there is good contact (remove and scrape) does the headlamp get brighter when you rev?
