@oldman Definitely ain't no 4 stroke. It'll be years yet till the next bike as I got to start saving.

Once again, many thanks

@oldman Personally I would return the damaged one straight away.

A small update; I got you pegged - Slippin n' Slidin!!!

@Calum I’m suffering from the same problem everyone thinks I’m crazy

@vtrn_raptor I got one of those Cyclone alarms, which is perfect for my use case. A full paid tracker system can really save your bacon.

Bike has gone to new owner now so just a quick update to final changes. Managed to source final oem panel so that all bodywork now genuine new yamaha parts. Had to purchase another decal kit though so have spares should they be needed. Final carb jetting was 25 pilot jet and 240 main jet and seems happy at that, running in at the moment and still entertaining to ride. Left the water hoses off the carb and just looped cylinder head feeds, never used in the cold by owner and aided quick removal of carb setting up. Gives me funds to carry on to the next one after the summer but endurance blue panels hard to find, may have to resort to having originals refinished and sprayed to match, have a nos tank and low mileage speedo though!

@pedrobatista10 I don't remember, sorry. I didn't get them from PJME.

@louis-james Don't know about TZR cylinders. But 3MB 3MBP 4FU Are bolt ons. The 3BN has a slightly bigger bore, so shorter stroke, as a result, a 3MB con rod will bit too long.

@stinkwheeler Yeah I know mate, I just like to dish out the credit to others. We all draw inspiration from somewhere, it's nice to be referenced for my hard work. Thanks.

Norwp, I needed to make sure that I could physically mount it to the radiator aswell. But thanks for your concern

@darty Ideal for you to get on the restoration vibe

Check the choke passageway in the floatbowl, for some reason people never clean this when they clean the carb.

@calum Yep 170 vs 144, not too much in it tho.

Thats a cool dtr!

Looking really smart mate!

@Biker_123 They're mental, only blipped the throttle in second gear at like 10 mph and it just wants to shoot off! Deffinitely what i would upgrade to. @Uber_Beluga Don't be envious! As my luck goes this will last all of 2 weeks haha

Looking lovely, I'd be reluctant to bend the pipe, just make up a larger bracket and move it closer.

@stinkwheeler Extra shiny - looks mint bud!!!

Aha that's awesome!
