your right, 42 forks could be from a number of bikes...any photos? that'd prob help?

I'd agree with that guy, maybe time to strip down and check the carbs. Make sure theres no build up of crap. Get a new seals, remove the float chambers and check your diaphragms, they may be starting to perish...thats just a maybe though.

Im pretty sure you can buy a new top yolk/fitting for pre-existing top yolk, that enables you to fit flat bars, that'd help for a better riding postion. I was looking to fit a thundercat front end to my '90 FZR600 that im rebuilding for that reason. Easyer to get parts and the flat bar would be better for what im planning. http://www.jesterstrickbits.co.uk/acatalog/Yamaha_YZF600_Thundercat.html#aABM_2dTY_2dTCAT cheers

Hay Tony, New to the site and was just browzing, you still have the bike? I have the same bike but mine was in a bad smash, wondering if you'd be interested in breaking the bike? cheers
