Mmmmm... Shiny bits...

Who knows... lol But I'm looking at these and drooling! Blueflame-performance-motorcycle-exhaust-and-systems (blueflameperformance.com) And for the whole deal... YZF1000 R Thunderace 1996-2003 Exhaust Downpipes Headers (blackwidowexhausts.co.uk)

The first thing I'd want to know is whether the NI one with no V5 is stolen or not... You might want to check the VIN.

Woah, woah, woah, woah..! Chances are that if you had a cracked calliper, you'd know about it! It sounds to me like your bleed nipple is blocked. It's fairly normal for air/fluid to come out of the threads... 1/ Don't crack it open quite as far, it's only supposed to be cracked enough to let air out then nipped up again quick. 2/ Buy a new bleed nipple (I'm pretty sure they all have the same threads on them...). Out of curiosity, how are you bleeding the brakes? Are you: a/ Doing it the old fashioned way and using the lever? b/ Using a vacuum bleeder? c/ Using a pressure bleeder?

Keep looking! Yamaha XT 125x Xt125r Genuine Master Cylinder Front New Ajp High Quality Oem (ebay.co.uk) E-Bay is your friend!

What exactly is the fault code you're seeing?

Aaah! Yes, but the rain is warmer down there, you should try it up here in Gods Country!

Still doesn't explain the nearly 2mm gap on the old plugs! lol Bike works! Get out there (this is what rain gear is for)!

Those sound right offhand. So I've heard, I've not done it yet lol. Stupid question, you did check the gaps on the new plugs before you put them in, didn't you?

The Thunderace will take two different plugs (they're listed in the manual). If you don't have a Haynes Manual, say so, I'll dig mine out...

Well, the red grease SHOULD be there anyway. That's what the pistons should be greased with anyway. The brake callipers aren't a problem for me, I bought a second set, so I can just swap them out when they need maintenance and do them at my leisure...

Well, that's not good, I'm assuming the engine hasn't ingested it? All I know about the Thunderace Carbs is that the emulsion tube isn't replaceable... NOT that I know what an emulsion tube is...

It's like the heaviest timing chain ever! lol

Wemoto are good, and if you're having problems, they're very hapy to take phone calls. P.S. Recommendation...

I saw those, but it says they're for threaded terminals, I'm pretty sure the Ace doesn't use threaded plugs.

Damnit..!

I have no idea about carbs, what are we looking at?

I too am a little shocked, spark plug caps are not something I've had problems with on my Thunderace so far. You may have to bite the bullet, after a cursory search, this is all I've found..: YAMAHA YZF 1000 THUNDERACE 4SV 96-03 - IGNITION COIL CAP PLUG CAP - ONLY 3 | eBay

Wait, are you me?

Looking good so far... That's a hell of a chain in there!

Exactly, all that fuel you're pumping has to go somewhere...

Been there... Done that...

Hihi, welcome in!

The Shetlands huh? That's going to be a lot of 'round and round'..!
