    DIY: Bigger tank instead of the fake Cover, anybody...!@?

    I have seen pictures of them in the past but IMO completely spoil the lines of the bike and add weight high up. IMO the better solution larger tank in the current position such as the 20 litre tank from Exactrep. I have one of those and, depending on how the bike is ridden you can get 120+ miles...

    Got her running but.....

    If it is the OE hose then yes. I work on the principle that if it ain't broke don't fix it. I take Mr Radioguylogs point but doing the slave isn't a big job so should it be an issue you can address that when necessary. In the meantime you will have kept some of your hard earned in the wallet and...

    Got her running but.....

    If the condition is still present try gently loosening the bleed nipple and see if any fluid is ejected. If so that would suggest that the m/c piston is fully returning and retaining pressure in the system. Dismantle and clean the m/c piston, seal and bore paying to the bleed back hole at the...

    Got her running but.....

    Like any transaction it is worth what the buyer wants to pay and I suspect with that sort of mileage not a lot as it would most likely be used as a spares bike. That said, provided that the engine is sound, compression is good and it doesn't use oil why not ride it? The water pump is repairable...

    Front fork cap

    They are available part # 3LR-23111-00 but I suspect you may wish to sort used as they list at £157.64 and are a special order.

    Most likely from a Yamaha dealer?

    What kind of aftermarket rear shocks are you running?

    You won't get them new but if s/h come I'd recommend them.

    Bad sounding engine. Big end gone?

    Not sure if you are asking a question or making a statement. If it is a question then we need more information e.g a description of the noise, ideally with a recording, when does it occur - at idle, under load, cruising or over-run? The more information you give the better the chance we can...

    Fork Seals

    Alternatively you can make a holder for the damper rod which also ensures it doesn't turn when re-assembling. If you are doing a US '93+ or equivalent the socket in the damper rod is 29mm (1 9/64 = 29mm or 1 1/8 = 28.6mm). Earlier forks have 24mm (15/16 = 23.813mm). Fix an appropriately sized...

    Led signal help!!

    Have you added ballast resistors so that the LED's have the same resistance that would be in the circuit if bulbs were fitted?

    only one cylinder firing

    I suspect that a spontaneous loss of compression on three cylinders is unlikely. So, as Mr Medic suggests check you have sparks at each cylinder. Check that you have fuel in the tank and see if switching to reserve helps. If that doesn't highlight the problem then go back over the last thing(s)...
