  1. My scooter went up 12.5% on road tax this year. Still not a lot. But it's starting to add up with that sort of percentage every year.
  2. Seen this quite often. It's very annoying as some parts were shared between models. But these people selling them have no clue. Yamaha Europe do a great part number catalogue. It allows you to search for the original number. But also look at other vehicles in the range. To see if it's a compatible part. https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/gb/en/service-support/parts-catalogue/
  3. I feel real sorry for you. You took every option open to you to track this guy down, before proceeding.
  4. Yes without some documentation saying the vehicle is yours. I imagine they won't cut a key for you.
  5. When the maintenance is measured in hours. It's not going to make a great road bike. Look for one of the last DT 125's.
  6. That's why Yamaha started the GYTR program and others have similar program where you can buy for the track only.
  7. The Kawasaki ninja ZX-R is coming back to the uk as a 2024 model. Not sure how many they might sell though. When Yamaha brought back the newer styled R6, it didn't exactly set the sales charts alight. Nice to see a sports bike brought back from the dead though.
  8. Coming along nicely. You don't need to measure the height of the jets. They just screw in till they are snug. With the mixture screw most just count the turns in from where it is to lightly seated. Probably a bit more accurate than a rule. But a rule would work I guess. Good thinking outside the box. It will probably have a stock setting for the mixture screw in the manual.
  9. If you look up the part in Yamaha Europe's parts catalogue. You can see if it's the same part number. https://www.yamaha-motor.eu/gb/en/services/yamaha-offers-you/parts-catalogue/
  10. If you get the helmet with the blue tooth built in. You don't pay the vat on the communication device. As it's all classed as safety equipment.
  11. Code 19 is the side stand switch. But apparently it can also be the connection between the ignition switch and the ECU. Which uses a separate circuit.
  12. Have actually seen a couple of those for sale over the years in the U.K. Never on the road though. Perhaps it's a guilty secret. like I'm living in Portsmouth.
  13. I have heard bad things about most to be fair. I waited five hours with my mate once for the RAC to turn up. They couldn't fix his bike, so another two hours for a recovery.

    Fuel Filter

    Is this the same as yours?
  15. A lot of biosecurity the cat left on are not too loud. But it really depends how friendly your MOT tester is. If it's significantly louder than stock, they can fail it.
  16. I always used the AA. Not the cheapest, but always had good service from them. They cover the person for any vehicle too. Even if you are riding in someone else's car.
  17. My wife had a Honda Camino for a little while to get to work. It would top out at about 25MPH. They are only about 3hp, so will struggle up steeper hills.
  18. yes I would definitely change the fork oil. It's something that always gets overlooked as it's a pain removing the forks to do it correctly.
  19. They still say straight line roundabouts if it's safe. Especially in bad weather. You don't want to be leaning over further than needed in icy conditions.
