    Engine Rotor - Why has Yamaha not issued a recall?

    I have a friend who just sold a 2007 R1 and sure enough with 20 miles the rotor let go. Thankfully the new owner shut the bike down immediately so all the shit was stuck to the stator. He's replacing the stator, rotor, rectifier and multiple oil changes.

    Oil leak from... Now with updated pic!!!

    I won't say I'll be driving through Winchester Saturday around noon, but... And if you think that is part of the oil / water pump combo - could it be a weep hole for the water pump to let the owner know the water pump shit the bed?

    Timing chain life span?

    I know the general consensus is that a timing chain should last the life of the engine, but how many of us are almost at 100k miles and still haven't thought about changing the timing chain? I ask because I'm about to order a valve cover gasket for an upcoming valve adjustment and was wondering...

    MiVV pipe - where to buy?

    Big shout out to PJ who had, probably, the last Suono in stock in the country. The GP carbon that I had on there for almost 100,000 miles has definitely seen better days

    MiVV pipe - where to buy?

    I'm in the market for a new slip-on pipe as my mivv GP carbon has finally worn out at the rivets. I would like to get another MiVV GP or suono so that it fits the mid pipe properly, but I can't find anybody online (other than eBay) that list them as being in stock. Does anybody have any leads...

    Cylinders 1&2 work 3&4 Don't

    Bad plugs (extremely doubtful)? The only wires shared between all 4 coils is a Red/ black stripe wire. Cyl 3 uses a Orange / green stripe and Cyl 4 uses a Gray / green stripe to go back to the ECU. At least according to the color wiring diagram I'm using.

    FZ8 Tail on FZ1

    I'm a fan of everything - except those Nilights. I've had to many fill with water, even after disassembly when brand new and siliconing every seam. Also, what would of been really slick: instead of the red EL wire...use amber and have that be the rear turn signals.
