I'm a David.

The procedure for a yamaha is the red key is used to clear the key transponder code of the black keys from the immoboiliser (it only stores 2 numbers) If you get a new key (or lose a key) you use the red key to reset the immoboiliser then you insert each black key to register them with the ...

I'll probably be in Adelaide in May, I'll let you know if I'll have time to catch up, I stay at the gf's parents place near Campbelltown

Kawasaki have the Versys in Europe http://www.kawasaki.co.uk/Versys/?Id=3400A8FB008 its basically a detuned ER6 that has been TDMified (bigger fuel tank and longer suspension travel). It would be good it they sold it here and prehaps give it some more cc's, would place it amoung the TDM, Aprilia ...

The front is a 120/70 R18 (18xMT 3.50 rim) and rear is 160/60 R17 (17xMT 5.00), tyres are Metzeler Z4, although the Europeans find the Z6's or Bridgestone BT020 better for grip, not really suitable for dirt. Brakes are good (similar to y2k R1) but the 6' fork travel will never bring out their full ...

Haha, love that one, would make a good sticker near the number plate (if the bike hasn't been fendercised)

I've bitten the bullet and turned blue, traded the faithful ZZR250 for a Yamaha TDM900, I couldn't wait for the GTR to be released and was feeling sorry for the zzr reving at 8000rpm when I did 110km/h (9000rpm before I changed sprockets). I did a ride to Adelaide on the zzr and didn't want to do it ...

I don't mind taking pillions, gives non riders the bike experience without having to learn to ride (a mate thought the 250 was fast, he's gonna shit on the tdm). Longest ride I've done 2-up was 200km on the zzr.
The narrow handlebars on the zzr made cornering need a bit of muscle and every fidget ...

If you want to make sure they actually did what they charged you for (especially if your getting more than an oil change), you could always get some tamper lacquor from Dick Smith / Jaycar and put it on all the bolts. It will not give an idea of quality but you will know something was done.

Here is the dimensions for the L bracket, tube has an ID of 16mm, bolts are 10mm from memory

I've had the clip come off twice so I put some epoxy glue over it the third time and haven't had it happen since.

I have using it for 18months, does the job like anything else, done 600km at a constant 110km/h and there is still oil on the chain. I've also found not as much dust sticks to the chain compared to others I've used.

Chatting to a dealer on the weekend, says they should be on the docks in around 4 weeks, pricing will be close to $22k

I'll measure mine up tomorrow for you

Take the one off the other side and no one will notice.

If its like when I went for the P's the only part of the bike they looked at was the front wheel (for the emerg brake and u-turn)
