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

Don't delay, get down today! To Honest Daves Motorcycle Emporium and Deli...

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...

Possibly more than you'd want to pay, but comes with extras and look in good condition! Ebay link And coming from the UK..!

It appears that they've defined them as a restricted item. Usually reserved for things like chemicals, batteries or weapons. Why they should do this for a pair of forks is beyond me. However, there are various mechanical items and vehicles that come under these restrictions, but again, I can't imagine why a pair of forks would. The important thing is, you appear to be getting your money back. Keep looking...

I ride year round, and with all the weather we've been having lately they've been drowning the roads in salt, and with the lockdown, finding a jetwash open is near impossible! So, obviously the bike is taking a bit of a hammering. It doesn't help that it has a full fairing... After several slightly crap hand washes (I'm getting on and don't have a garage, so getting on my hands and knees in the freezing wet isn't easy or good lol), I've managed to find a jetwash and gave it a good 'low' pressure wash yesterday. I spent an hour messing around with it today, cleaned the chain, hand washed it, re-greased the chain and kickstand workings. Two questions: 1/ What else should I be doing? 2/ How do I polish up the aluminium bits (pegs, kick plates & rear calliper) which have suffered a bit from the salt. I assume they have a surface coating on them witch I don't want to take off unless there's no other option.

Ok, so their appears to be only ONE option (same as the Thunderace). Original Part Number: 3GM2538119 Replacement Part Number: 3GM-25381-A0 There are 3 spacers (technically 4 (the rear brake calliper bracket is the 4th one)). Check out the pic I'm attaching, which spacer are you missing? And importantly, are the ones you DO have in the right order?

If it's anything like a Thunderace, there should only be one option... I'll look into it when I get home tonight and let you know.

Does it feel like it's lacking power, or does it feel like something is holding it back?

Yeah, I was kinda worried about that...

Hehehe...

Aaah! The bike is the title! No wonder I couldn't see any info...

That seems fair, maybe I was just looking for gadgets... lol

Make? Model? Have you checked the valve seals? You might wanna introduce yourself first...

It's probably the paint colour scheme code. There's several for my Thunderace (luckily, I know which one is mine! lol)

I would get a full service from a different place, then take it to the original place and see what they try to screw you for..!

1/ Unless the two fork stanchions are connected by an equaliser, then yes, they should be the same. 2/ I think the error was that you took it to a cowboy for a service...

I've been looking at this item: Smart Brake Module - Improve your visibility on motorcycle (safer-turn.com) Anyone got one? Is it any good? Do you think it's a good idea? Discuss...

It SHOULD be a threaded hole, but just to be sure, I assume it's for your XV920r?

Might wanna reword your title. I thought it was some sort of dating service for bikers! lol
