Re: rear brake pads Feel the heat man !! Don't get burnt though

Re: rear brake pads I've just fitted brembo all round to mine and they are good . Went for the SC compound . Check the brembo website it's all there for the part numbers . The rears are 07ya39.sp

Hello from deepest Leicestershire . There's quite a few Brits on here

The second pilot is not gonna claim his pension is he ?

s "no sense of excess weight. That only comes off in of-road conditions where it isn't as competent as a stock GS, but with the right tyres, and the right patience, it will get you through the worst of it" I disagree with that bit . The ST is so much more manageable off road than the Top heavy...

I did hear a vicious rumour that some had a head light bulb failure and couldn't get it repaired under warranty . Dam Yamaha . Loving my st !

Hi from a fellow Leicester -ite . I'll look out for you . I'm on a raven black ST .

So true Thats why i will always prefer the S10 over the Bmw .

Welcome too from an ex gs1200 owner . And I won't be going back to the piece of Bavarian piece of s&@!e !! Love my s10

Probably small air leaks in your exhaust . use silicon sealant and the symptoms should go away. Just fitted my PCV and WOW what difference it makes . Nice linear power curve now . ;D ;D :P

Yes Im sure it will and that is my next mod for me to buy. One think is though ,as the engine loosens up with the miles it gets smoother and the flat spot is a lot less noticeable 8)

Thats correct but only for the idling .

Rode to Fairford (USAF base here in the UK) today to watch some pre airshow practice and the computer was showing 50mpg at 80 and 46 at a steady 90. Pretty impressive. Mind you the engine has done 1200 miles now since new and has loosened up considerably .. :) :)

According to Yamaha the CO settings are there for the idling only.
