@d3cme Share a link to the post you found dude, as someone else may benefit from it in the future!!!

I wasn’t sure if it was against the rules but well worth a read to future people who may have similar.. im really hoping it’s all sorted anyway, looking forward to getting out on if when the oil cap turns up.

@d3cme Sharing info and knowledge is what this forum is all about dude. Always share stuff and if it's not allowed then the moderators will pull it PDQ!!!

@NINJA that’s a fresh approach vs multiple other places that don’t want external links cheers dude.

The exhaust gasket is recessed into the exhaust port. They are pennies and I only replace them if they are blown.

Only the older DT and TZR TDR had a diamond shaped end on the powervalve, all the later 3RM models all have a rectangle end that is an exact fit in the powervalve pully. If it is a 2003 with a diamond shaped end then it is not the original powervalve and probably not the original barrel either.

Here is a proper 2002 powervalve on the left and early type diamond powervalve on the right, if they were all diamond shape wouldn't have a rectangle in powervalve pully. Yamaha didn't make a 2003 they are 2002 models just registered later.

Wow, can't believe I never noticed that before.

[d3cme]

Well at least I wasn’t talking complete nonsense

Mines a ‘2002’, registered January 2002 and on a 51 plate now so guess it was pre-change.

Just been out for an evening ride before the forecast says it’s cold and wet again.

It’s like a totally different bike, and everything I’d hoped from it when I got it

@d3cme Happy Dayzzz then and you've still got that shiny new Romeu pipe to add to your WOG!!!
