Well I hope that you all have had a great holidays. Got the first 1000 klms service done and all is well. :) beyond that there isn't much more to say at the moment. Just waiting for that funky halo light to come out and also for a restock of the motodynamic rear tail light. Stay safe out...

Well the bike is still going great :) Have it booked I for my 1000 klms service next Saturday. Sadly I have already done 1175 klms. Thankfully there won't be much riding between now and then. Need to get myself a cheap soldering iron to tidy up the connectors on the indicator lights. Need to...

Just a quick update. I am a tool. The lee was only three rings of thread damaged. The bolt was not long enough to make it fit properly. The guys at the Yamaha store were great :) cost me 200 to get it sorted. But as I am an idiot I like to call it me stupid tax :D So the bike is fine and I am...

HAH, what the hell is snow??? what does that look like... now heat, i can tell you about heat, and rain, and then sometimes heat and rain at the same time... :p sadly it does not get cold enough here for true snow. which is not necessarily a bad thing. if it ever did snow here, i would...

as i do not know that much about the engine of this bike i was worried at first about the engine falling out. but i came to realize that if the engine was only held in with 4 bolts... there are far large issues than me stripping a few holes. The bolts themselves haven't moved at all, plus the...

Great going man. Good to hear that you are getting to your feet :)

Well I spoke to four different Yamaha shops. One didn't want to quote over the phone. I asked for a very rough quote and not holding them to it. One said 1000-1500 to fix. One said 250-300 and the last said about 500 of course all depending on what is required. They all said it was really time...

if i did my calcs correct, and using the instructions provided. the wrench could not do the ammount required anyway. it said about 30 footpounds on the instructions, the wrench i bought does not even go that high. but what happened was that i didnt listen to the wrench. it was a different...

That is thread on the bolt. The bolt is sadly perfectly fine. (Expletive deleted many times) I have not even done 400 klms on it yet. I will ask the shop if they ca n put in helicoils when i take it in for its 1000 klms service. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's the block that is broken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

i dont honestly know if its the bolts or the block. but i think it will be the block as the bolts are the ones that come wth the frame slider kit, and i dont think they where aluminum.

im not sure what to do next. do i take it to a shop and have helicoils put in, do i just leave it... have i just screwed the bike so badly its more useful as a paper weight. none of the bolts will turn unless you use a wrench on them so i dont think they will fall out. though i am not a...

Some days its just not worth it. Bought a new torque wrench just for fitting the sliders. I had it set low and still managed to over torque two of the effing bolts, one on each side. So eff the stupid thing. Makes me feel like such an idiot that I just don't want the stupid bike anymore. I...

I had my led indicator strips arrive yesterday, :) They are pretty funky, looking forward to putting them on. I probably wont do the indicator flush and light strips till I have the frame sliders, so that I only have to remove the fairings once. Fingers crossed the sliders come in today. They...

Best wishes and a swift recover mate. Hope you are up and about real soon.

I think that even if I ordered the kit to do it myself, I probably would order a second headlight for fear of #@$*&^$ it up... But first I need to save the pennies :D well my t-rex's have gone through.. tx, oh, ky, tn, and ak. Heck, I haven't traveled that much on holidays :rolleyes...

I have seen the images of those headlights and they look very good. Sadly I cannot have downtime with my bike as it is my main rider. One thought I had was I just buy another headlight unit and have it shipped to them later :) but it will have to wait a little while, need to save the pennies...

Whelp, I went and checked my seat height at lunch, sadly its already in the low position... wait a sec, not sad at all, means more fun modding :D Not sure if I would install lowering links myself or get someone else to do them. I would also lower the front forks too, to try and keep the...

I will check that, I thought that it would have been set to low by default... I did get my flush lights, buuut I need to redo the end connector because I don't have the little triple connector on my lights, just two bullet links. Ah well, a little cut and crimp and it will be fine :) Its...
