The original (OEM's) fitted to mine over here were Bridgestone Battlax. They went hard and were shot after only 7,000km ! I am now on my second set of Pirelli GT Angels, and......"WOW" what a transformation to this machine. It now grips like hell, corners like a dream a speed, sure footed no...

I'm wanting to get at the exhaust downpipes (fully and properly) for a good going over with Autosol. I have the Yam' standard lower engine/exhaust cowls, the bolt on plastic cowls. The plastic cowls are removed easily, 30 second job. However, in order to get at the downpipes fully, the...

I'm 54.... and this machine keeps me well tuned !!! Balanced, predictable and well useable above 6500rpm and the rush at 160kph and above is just a grin from ear to ear, and well easy to punch a hole in your licence. Great bike, great tool, have it with a "baffleless Akrapo !". Go for it, oh...

I like those Rizoma Mirrors ! Seen them a couple of times over here (Switzerland) and they look real nice in Black. Any vibrations ???? Are the lenses blue tint ?
