You've got you parking lights turned on mate. Turning the key all the way anticlockwise turns the parkers on. One click back in the clockwise direction will engage the steering lock only. :icon_beer:
Couldn't comment on the rear sets but a mate of mine has the stands and they are good quality. He recently bought some more components for the stands and kaneg did a great deal on price with good customer service.
I'd recommend the r1 shock conversion also. Affordable upgrade that makes a difference. I used an 08 shock bought from another forum member. Try posting in the 'wanted' section to see if anyone wants to sell.
What a load of bullshit. This nanny state crap really gets under my skin. The cops should be out chasing bad guys. Based on the location of the testing centres, I'll be up for a two and a half trip just to get tested if the cops pick on me. :bs2::bs2::bs2:
You might also need to adjust your gear lever so you're not 'reaching' too much with your foot. These types of simple adjustments can make all the difference.
Matt, looks like heaps of fun. Hope you get it sorted out.
Try posting in the tech sections of the forum where more members might see it.
Also, have you had your local yamaha mechanic have a look?
Sorry mate but thats all Ive got.
Matt
