Exup 1000

I'm suffering from the huge disappointment of having poor midrange that having no exup valve causes, on my 96 Ace.
So, as I have one piece down pipes and collector box I need the lot I should expect...
I'd really appreciate some advice on what options I have....

The Ace I acquired about two months ago has always had iffy brakes... definitely not the famed Yamaha 'Blue Spot' Stoppers. When all of my stuff to give her a service had arrived I decided today was the day, so I start with a front brake bleed... The fluid wasn't particularly grotty but brownish, th...

Thanks Stig & Nuggitt. Think I may have over cooked it a bit, then. I commute only a short distance (south of Mansfield to Clipstone) then there's the up-coming RTTW on 1st October... plus any trips to the MFN/Matlock etc. I'll have to buy a stock 46T rear sprocket to try and calm the side effec...

I am impressed by the info in the workshop area "Gearing on a Thunderace" Original article submitted by Yeasshhh But I may have made a mistake yesterday afternoon (under the influence of a 'sesh' with the few brave enough to call themselves my mates!) I read the article and thought that so...

Thanks Stig, I'll bear it in mind.
Bloody hell, Nuggitt, how did you find that? I didn't even know that site existed. If I can figure out how to order it, I'm sorted!

Thanks mate.
Can you send me a link... I can't find it.
Thanks

Need some help, Guys.... please! It seems that the chain guard seal (that black bit of plastic that fits over the swing arm and stops the chain scoring great channels in your swing arm) for a '96 Thunder Ace is unavailable. Does anyone know if any other Yam models had the same swing arm as the Ace, ...

Thanks, Stig.... I couldn't find it in the Tech data....
not sure where you mean.

Not sure what's happened to the attachment... below is the text (can't seem to get the pics in this post) Yamaha YZF1000R Thunderace Setup From: Performance Bike Magazine Article Thunderace not handling as well as you think it should? All the boys on the latest bikeshaving to wait for you at every r...

Not sure if this is somewhere on this forum already (couldn't find it with a search) but this is a PB article from about 98/99 (I think).

Hope it's of some use...

Thanks Scotty.
Great post!

Thanks guys.
@Stig - I'm just south of Mansfield near Ravenshead.

Will try and get some pics after I've serviced her... and afforded a new chain!

Hi everyone. I've just acquired my second Ace (i bought a new one back in '96 but a change of circumstances saw me let it go two years later). I loved my Ace! The torque, the sure-footed stability and the brakes I thought were... well, Ace. My new-to-me Ace is nearly exactly the same as my first (bl...
