@Hybrid_Theory01 the early ones up to 1998 had the 'shell' like cover. 98 on was the flat cover due to having a different oil pump. For this reason there is 2 different throttle cables available.
@SpookDog yes I have that Wire connected to the Key switch, my interest is to keep the on off Button, i Will rewire it to the black and white cable, even tho it really doesent affect the Spark since the aditional resistance is insignificant
The mot guy put an advisory on my bike about the lights at tickover. Reckoned that the stator was buggered. I tried to explain to him but ‘he had one when younger’ and so was right 🙄
@Hybrid_Theory01 there could well be some truth in that because Yamaha stopped matching engine/frame numbers on later models and I read that it happened in around 1996 when production of engines and frames were moved to separate factories.
