Uh-oh! Is the sprocket theme to be carried on then?!
Check it has had the front sprocket replaced with a 12mm item (Yamaha recall) as opposed to the 9mm (thickness) item they came with. The original front sprockets have been known to come off - don't fkn weld it this time!
This is gen, not a wind up.
Good bikes, good price.

Let me reiterate I bought it from a garage the owner had left with the garage owner to sell on his behalf I have got to know this garage owner quite well he wouldn't rip me off if he knows what's good for him besides I have the new owners slip.

Well it has had various mods done to it including stainless pipes so I assume it has not checked yet though.
Here is the fail certificate from 2012 the problems have all been rectified.

The most recent MOT which was done before I picked it up had one advisory which was a slightly bent front wheel rim where someone had gone at it with a spoon trying to change the tyre.

Heh I am on nine points until August I can not afford to get caught speeding which is now posssible I just have to remind myself of public transport when I get that urge which appears to be working. |
