Congratulations..? lol

From what I remember of bikes from this era, turning the light won't help, it will still be in the way... As a different direction, what about the clock unit? What's holding that on? Would it be easier to displace the whole clock unit?

Blown up some parts? We'll see... lol

Also known as 'bits'...

Is it burning oil? P.S. I've removed the duplicate post...

How can Yamaha dealers/service agents not know what coolant it should take?

Those first 2 options are definitely not going to work lol The tin can insert idea will probably work until you find a replacement.

I'm sure someone will know something eventually... In the meantime, I've deleted the partial duplicate post.

Not a problem...

Moved...

Congrats!

At that price then, I don't see a reason not to give it a poke, if it works, great, if it doesn't, you've not lost much...

How much are they?

Yes, it doesn't help that you've managed to get your handbag strap in the way either! 😛

Welcome in, and hope you're on two wheels soon!

Can we stop for ice-cream? Where's my potty? Why didn't I think of that earlier..?

Exactly!

There should be a thumbs up one...

The obvious answer here is: Poke a little deeper before you ask... However, there are a few points that discount the obvious answer. 1/ Asking early gives us time to poke the most likely options and the unlikely options while you continue to look. 2/ There's a reason we're here and helping: We like a puzzle! 3/ Getting strange answers often triggers something in your own mind. 4/ Why not? So, keep asking! lol

Are you 100% certain that the brake lever isn't bent at all?

My paranoid suggestion for this instance would be: Send them the pictures, order the key to a FRIENDS house instead of yours... Or a PO box or dropbox or something... Just not the same address the bike is kept at.

What can I say, just because I'm paranoid, doesn't mean people aren't out to get me! lol. I can delete this thread if you want, but that doesn't solve the main possible issue...

Errr... I hate to say it but... Yes, you can cut a key from a picture, I can cut a key from a picture with nothing but a blank and a needle file, that's not the issue... The problem is, what you've just done, is given some random person on E-Bay your bike key, AND your address!!! For the price of a key, that could turn out pretty expensive... And even if you DO get a perfectly working key in the post, doesn't mean they're not gonna come round later..!
