I've got the same exhaust on my ybr. The pipe is the AIS so just disconnect it. Don't really need to block it off as there's a reed valve.

08 ybr will be EFI chap. At least mine is.

I did mine yesterday, took me about 3/4 of an hour tops. I did need an impact driver to undo the screws on the front sprocket cover though. Wes

The ybr is ridiculously easy to work on. Get a Haynes manual and all will be explained.

I've just had the back brake on my YBR apart and cleaned it out (loads of crap in there making it stick) and it's better than ever now. Definitely worth having it apart imo.

What colour was the primer? I'm a painter by trade (used to do cars, now do aircraft) so might be able to offer some advice if needed. Wes

Nope, no hole in mine either. I use the bike every day, so can't see it causing a problem tbh. I just disconnected the AIS tubing as there is no pipe in the Leo Vince to connect it. Having had it on a couple of months, it definitely gives me a bit more top end. Will happily cruise along at 60+ now, which was all I was after really. Wes

Don't see how they can. They have no idea what the current milage is, so how do they know how many miles I've done? Having said that I always over estimate. Wes

I wear one, but I have to have one in to get past security into work, so I just bung it on when I leave the house. Still seems people can't see me though.

DID chain and sprocket set is about £35 delivered off of Ebay. Got to be worth trying to do it yourself for a 65 quid saving Wes

Yep, factory on the rear, Michelin Pilot Sporty on the front. Like that when I bought it last November. The stock tyres are rubbish, really horrible in the wet and particularly if it's cold I've noticed. As soon as I get round to it I'm gonna put another Pilot Sporty on the back too, as they are generally recognised as being pretty good. Wes

Thought I'd add a couple of pics of my YBR for those that are interested. I've added a Fabbri flyscreen and a Leo Vince GP Corsa exhaust since I bought her. The flyscreen just helps to keep the windblast off my chest a bit, and the exhaust... well it's louder and I think it does give me a little bit more top speed. I'm a pretty big chap at 6'3" and 16 stone, so before I was lucky to get more than 55mph, whereas now I can sometimes get over 60! I thought you'd be impressed I've got a couple of videos of the exhaust if anyone's interested, one with the Db killer in and one without, although I haven't dared ride it without as it's properly loud! Cheers all Wes

I reckon I have this about once a week. The other day I had a fella walk straight out in front of me. Luckily I was in 1st gear doing about 4 mph. When I asked him what the bloody hell he was doing he says 'I didn't see you'. You have to think for everyone it would seem.... Wes

The one about banning 2 strokes was started by a chap called Mike Hunt. Genius.
