No, if they're not designed for LED, don't get them. LED need specially shaped mirrors, and normal ones don't cut it so they actually don't work as well! Be careful about upgrading your bulbs, many that are sold in shops turn out not to be legal on the road!

Yeah... That's not an awful lot to go on..! lol

SORN only came in in 1998. As stated above: Any vehicle that was offroad before that date and hasn't been taxed or declared SORN since, doesn't need to be SORNed. If it is re-taxed, then every year it's offroad thereafter it requires SORNing.

Well, you like making it difficult for yourself... Since you used a 3rd frame, the other two don't really exist anymore (since the BIKE is the frame). I suspect you'll either have to sell the two frames, or, scrap them (don't forget you have to have all THREE Sorned if they're not currently on the road). After that, you probably just need to register the 3rd frame with the correct engine number. To do this, phone the DVLA up, general number, they'll put you onto the right department or form...

This is an error code... There's 3 of them, one for fuel sensor, one for exup valve and one for your TPS. I'm not sure which of the 3 you have, they're apparently different from the Thunderaces. Unless you've had your tank off lately, I'd check your exup first...

That's never a good story! lol

Nice! Those DTs were cool. Welcome in... Is there any YZFs in there? Thunderace, Thundercat, 750?

If it's anything like the Thunderace, it probably burns a certain amount of oil as a general course... It could be that you're not quite topping up as much as you think. Make sure you're topping up the oil on a level surface and that the bike is perfectly upright (ether on a pair of stands or by looking for the balancing point). My Thunderaces light comes on when the oil is a little low at high revs, but goes off again once I drop the revs again and the oil pools a bit more. It may be that yours is doing the same thing but has something else on it that's holding the light for longer... When was your last complete oil change? Even topping up regularly still ends up with week oil eventually.

Welcome in..

YZF 750R, nice! Parts for the 750 aren't cheap, always keep your eyes open for deals. The gearboxes are in demand especially by ZYF 1000R owners (ours only has a 5 speed box for some reason! lol). Welcome in...

Bit of a sucker for punishment with the imports!!! lol Welcome in...

Welcome in!

You obviously filled up too roughly for the deteriorating plastic... lol

I was about to ask if you had an inline filter... Are you 100% SURE you filled up with the right fuel?

Don't know about legality, but you'd be daft not to fit a parking brake! Without it, nothing to stop it rolling away!

Carbs are beyond me, but, out of curiosity, why do you think the bump is to blame?

Not a clue I'm afraid, I just use what fits! lol

From your 'Crude pic', even if there are helicoils on there, they don't appear to extend beyond the nut. So, I'd be more inclined to wonder if either: 1/ You're using the wrong sized socket (aftermarket / foreign plugs). or 2/ Your socket isn't long enough (aftermarket / foreign plugs). Try a different/deeper socket...

Yup, that's the bonus of those types of exhaust though, you can niggle them a bit to get a better fit. Mine is a solid one, bugger all I can do about it... 😕

Most that I've had a good look at were on E-Bay and weren't in good condition, but one was New Old Stock and pristine. Still not pretty! And HEAVY!!! 😛

Sealant for in between the different parts? Or for the manifold end? If it's for the manifold end, don't bother, just get the crushable copper washers, they're original and do the job just fine with no mess... Yeah, I like the sprung together look too, and the answer to my above question will tell me how they go together lol. I've already got an aftermarket exhaust, so it won't be as much of a difference, but I've seen an Ace with original exhaust, and they're not pretty! lol Yeah, you'd think that, but always be suspicious of anything 3rd party! Particularly if you have to paste the parts together, they may need a little fertling once you get the panels on (mainly the belly pan). Well, from what you've said, I may have to bite the bullet and save the money up for one myself now...

So you bought the one I linked? Is it really that good? Is there plenty of room between the headers and your fairing (the one I currently have on has melted a hole in my bottom fairing!!!)? Don't forget a new set of exhaust seals!

Are you talking about the link for full pipes I posted? It's £294.99, not 400... And it will fit his existing end can, so you don't need to swap that out until you want to. However, if you're interested in a new end can too, I like the look of these: Blueflame-performance-motorcycle-exhaust-and-systems (blueflameperformance.com) I'm currently trying to hassle them into doing me a twin port, tri-oval, blued titanium one. For some reason, it seems to be one of the few variations they don't offer...

E-Bay is your friend..!

Oh, you'll spend at least 1x the cost of the Ace on it! That's normal... Don't give up with the Paraffin bath idea, you've gotta dump it in there and leave it (a week or 2!). If you start cutting bits of it, or drilling, you might as well get a new one. yamaha exup ru frontpipe | eBay There's your start (assuming it's for a Thunderace), after that, you'll need the valve its self... Where about are you based?
