hi, No the bike still takes me to work every day. She has started to use some oil and it has a bit of blow bye but the poor old dear has done 88,000 km. I picked up a brand new haynes workshop manual from a flea market. My bigest problem is the only workshop manuals i have seen deal with U.K and U.S bikes and not Australian bikes so i can't get much except what the local Yamaha dealer choose to tell me and at the moment they think i'm going to take it to them for repair or better still sell me a new one.
