Exup 1000

Wow still lots to do.
Is the blue pipework the finished product or is that a mock up to see how it fits?
I've been trying to see if I can get an oil cooler that fits the Thunderace, first choice is the FZR1000 Exup one but I just cant make out from any pics if the oil hose mounting points on the ...

I have looked at Fowlers page and the main nozzle as they call it is no longer available. Does anyone know where to source replacements or am I into trying to find a good second hand set of carbs? This is not an issue I have had to deal with in the past.

my FZR had an oil leak 'from the water pump'. It was actually from one of the oil feed lines at the back of the cylinder block (bad copper seal) and the oil tracked down that way. The water pump is one of the lowest points, when the bike is on the side stand, so can be a drip point for leaks from ...

Just got this hydraulic Brake Pressure Rear Light Switch delivered today. I've never tried one like this before as I've always stuck with the old adjustable type of switch. I'll see how it goes when I get it fitted on the bike.

ive used those before - they work ...

Ive already done some 500 mile days (between lockdowns) and it was easy, rapid, comfortable, economical and enjoyable. The last bit is key.

It is genuinely awesome.

I do a lot of European touring (well until the bloody pandemic). The Niken will be awesome in the Alps.

I accept it's not for everyone, but yet again Yamaha innovate a cool product knowing it might not sell all that well.

Happy New Year to all!

@philningas >> it is probably easier to ride, but is there any pleasure on this???

The MT09 triple is a peach too.
Friend got an MT 09 last year ...

Some LED headlights come with a range of different bases, which are interchangeable - perhaps what you need is in one of those kits?

On the bay they often have pictures of the various adapters. Might be an avenue that you can explore.

Also try your local sign writer.

If you show them pics of the pattern on your phone they may just pull something off of the roll give it to you.

You then make card templates, trial the templates and when happy cut the vinyl with scissors and attach.

Seeing as its raining today and I can't get out to play. I decided to take out my front wheel just for you pilninggas.

I've taken some measurements of the axle and you're correct so you can discount the 89/90 axle from your list.
