NICE animation!

You're certain it's not your gearbox?

Fault code 19 - No signal from ignition to ecu Have you checked the kickstand kill switch?

Tasteful ones..! lol

Sandals, what a nutter!

Actually, it's not 'new old stock', they have a full range just for test rides...

Motorcycle Helmets, Clothing, Jackets, Gloves, Boots & Accessories (sportsbikeshop.co.uk) These guys have a set of 'white' loaners that they will let you take out for a couple of hours to try them out! As Cynic says, once things are open again...

Yeah, I got confused there too. My question isn't about nuts though, it's about studs and bolts in cast aluminium... Are there any problems associated with Stainless Steel or Titanium in Aluminium castings?

I don't see a lot of Brass studs/bolts being advertised. And they're pretty heavy... But you're right about the lack of reaction with steel, but I'm not so sure about it being reactionless with Aluminium.

You know, when I first came across the Thunderace again, I called them Thunder Races too! Took a while to place that mental space... lol Does Alcantara feel like swede? I can't touch swede, it sets my teeth and fingernails on edge... eeew!!! rofl Ack, even just the thought of it has set me off!

Nope, and not gonna try!

So, here's the main question: Is it worth swapping standard steel bolts/studs for Stainless or even Titanium? Whilst almost everyone loves shiny bolts in their engine, right now I'm particularly thinking about my exhaust studs. I'd like to swap my exhaust and like most peoples (I suspect) studs, mine are pretty manky. In order of simplicity/cheapness, the options as I see it are: 1/ Just put the new exhaust on and change the nuts. 2/ Swap out the studs and nuts for new OEM ones. 3/ Swap out the studs and nuts for Stainless Steel or Titanium. I'm not bothered by the cost of Stainless Steel or Titanium, but there's no way I'm going to even attempt to remove rusted steel studs from a cast aluminium casing, therefor I'd get a shop to do it. So either option 2 or 3 will involve extra hassle (still not worried by the extra cost, it's all about making it easier for me). But, in thinking about this a bit deeper, are there any hidden issues involved in replacing stock steel studs/bolts that go into cast aluminium? For example: Heat expansion rates? Or chemical metal reaction between Alu and SS or Ti?

So, while I'm waiting for wisdom on my previous questions 😉, I have another one about my exhaust... I got it fitted with an aftermarket exhaust with no exup on it, it's not bad. The can is an ART pro series II, my question is: Can I get a replacement baffle for it (did it actually ever come with a baffle?)?

Ok, start at the beginning... All the stupid answers in order of simplicity: 1/ Did you remember to turn the fuel tap back on (trust me, I've done it...)? 2/ Is there actually any fuel in the tank (not personally done this one)? 3/ Are all your fuses ok (done this one too)? 4/ Does it have a fuel pump? 5/ You'll need a compression gauge, check the compression (if you've just put a new piston in it, the rings may be bad). Well, that's pretty much most of my experience..!

Does it actually turn over?

Oh well... Actually, I think it looks quite cool

I figure you pretty much solved your own question with your Topic Title... "Yamaha aerox 2009 keeps stalling with pod air filter" Stalls WITH the new filter, doesn't stall WITHOUT the filter, remove the filter..!

I'm assuming it also goes in front of the lower yoke, since that's the one it's being trapped by...

That lock looks like a good idea, do it! Other than that, I'd say wear good gear with body armour in it. And gloves with knuckle armour (for obvious reasons)...

Aaah, I was right then. Restricted chemicals... Still, it doesn't explain why the item can't be sent back to the seller. Ask Darren that..!

Aaah...
