    i was just testing the water as they say,i may keep it respray the plastics as i have a spare mint condition black frame i also have a spare engine and a few fairings laying around .
    I was thinking maybe put my money into 1 bike rather than 2 but the white and orange runs amazing and has zero rust apart from on the discs and a few bolts, never re sprayed farings before but these would need sanding or something before spraying but i have seen videos on youtube where ppl have been using a aerosol paint stripper where after applying they just wash off with water hose and plastics look ok

          @stobbsie generally if they have been re sprayed it's because underneath they're tatty bit you could be lucky.

            New panels aren't that expensive, you'd amazed at what a fresh set will do to the look of the bike.

            Just because it's orange and black, it shouldn't put you off sorting it out.

              @Calum true but maybe getting them wrapped will be a lot cheaper

                Im located in south yorkshire declan, as for the plastics where they havent sprayed underneath ,they look pretty good you can see they were all black before.
                Been looking on the internet for plastics but all i can find is used ones or the odd panel new ,I did come across a guy in portugal that sells full sets for £130.

                    @declan have you ever had to remove spray paint?,if so what would you say would be best a paint stripper or sanding?

                      @stobbsie well if you planning on re using the plastics without re painting sand paper is a no go but if you want the paint off to re paint sand paper all the way then use light sand paper to rough the surface up then run a cloth of running alcohol or paint thinner as I use just to clean it

                        @declan just be careful not to scratch the plastics as this will be really hard to cover when you re paint

                            £110 is cheap indeed for a full set of plastics.

                            You have to put the whole thing into perspective.

                            It's going to cost money to get another bike, plus sell the one you got, plus sort out any niggles with the new bike.

                            Where you could have just sorted out the old bike. If it's just the plastics then that's really not that bad going.

                            I wrapped a few panels on my bike that were damaged and I couldn't be bothered to buy.

                            Done right it can be really cost effective and look pretty good.

                            For the sake of £30, get some black wrap and wrap the plastics. Then buy a set of graphics to stick over the top.

                            Really cheap way to get the bike looking sweet.

                                  @declan DTR is an appreciating classic.

                                  Seriously, these bikes will only go up in value and parts WILL dry up eventually.

                                  Keeping the bike in tip top condition will pay dividends, even more so if yours was cheap to begin with 😄

                                      @declan Yeah mate, used to be. But as more and more get stolen destroyed and scrapped you can expect parts to dry up.

                                      Yamaha discontinuing parts is also going to play into a big factor.

                                        @declan Yeah mate, used to be. But as more and more get stolen destroyed and scrapped you can expect parts to dry up.

                                        Yamaha discontinuing parts is also going to play into a big factor.
