Changing to larger 18T front sprocket, does chain tension/wheel position need adjusting too?

There were no labels to tag em and stack em when I was young. You were hyperactive or touched (by the hand of…) in the head! I can’t really remember when I first heard the term ADD or Asperger’s, let alone ‘The Spectrum’. The thing I don’t like about labels is that they fuxin stick! We’re all semi lost souls living in a broken earth as far as I’m concerned…
We all have our moments, good days and bad days. Personally I think it’s just important to know that life could, and should, be better than it is…

And to keep your chin up!

@FloWolF I don't blame you for not wanting to trade in your Yamaha, it's in decent nick and worth a pretty penny too! Let's just hope it gives you trouble free riding. The main thing is, they're old and they did need a little bit of fettling.

I recon that the unmolested examples are plenty reliable. 90% of my problems were from undoing previous owner fuxups. Even my mongrel hasn’t broken down and stranded me in 31,000 miles!…

Even when i accidentally put diesel in it! 🫣

@SpookDog So what was the upshot of the diesel mistake then?..

@FloWolF

Apart from a lot of shame and embarrassment?

I had to call my (lovely!) Siss to bring out some petrol cans, empty the tank on the side of the road, nip to the garage and refill the tank. Started second kick.
The massive plumes of white smoke cleared up in less that a klick!

It was a place I’d never been to before and all the hoses were black (BP?) I saw the ‘supreme’ and fuxed up!

But it was my fault, not the bike. If anything it was a trooper for getting me 2 miles down the (unwalkable because of flyovers) dual carriageway before ‘puffing’ out!
I use my mirrors more now!
