broke down on my air cooled RD! Bloody dodgy fuse connection but took ages to work it out as started working again as soon as it stopped! (Had to go out for an emergency pint of milk just as the sun came out )

MOT booked for the YSR tomorrow so i took it for a spin and then spent an hour trying to fault find why the RH indicators didnt work, which they now are but im not sure exactly what part of the wiring or connectors I pulled and cleaned to to make it so.. I've bolted my 996 rear reflector to the number plate, does anyone know if it will be MOT passable on the side of the plate as such?

Got UK reg plate for German framed bike today :=)
On time scale I sent it start of Jan but came back after a month as I didn't send identification , then sent back straight away and got today but I think if it had been correct first time it would have been just a month I would say

Re the reflector, i would have thought it would be ok, i stick tiny ones on the rear light and it passes. I think it is a bit of a grey area but as long as it has one... Mouse

The reflector won't be an issue on the side although I'd have put it on the offside
Whether he is a coont and fails it for the number plate as with the reflector on there is not a 10mm border around the letter beside it
I stick one of the little reflectors on the plate, never had a problem

I bet I get an advisory on the exhaust anyway, it is amazingly loud and piercing for 80cc! We shall see..

Thought I recognised the road but maybe not, im Northants way. You're close. It's the B660 between Winwick & Old Weston.. One of my local routes. MCN use the same road a lot and the B1090 Woodwalton road plus surrounding areas. If you watch the Neevsy Streetfighter V4S video that's where he is most of the time whilst using the old A1 to get up & down.. & if you haven't ridden the SFV4S go get a demo - they are superb!

Put the charged battery back on started her up for half hour, locked the garage back up whilst she cools down before I put the cover back on . Left her in the concrete garage this year at the bottom of the garden, a few more furry bits than last year when she was in the shed 🤷♂️. Blast from the past.

Since I dont have a thread on here for my F1 build, I'll post this update in this thread: Anyone for a bit of a canoe? ....I've got paddles! I started to sort out a few things on my F1. Since I decided it would be more resto than resto-mod I figured I should put more of it back to standard. One job was to buy and fit new indicators. I don’t really like the 85 indicators, but hey it is what it is. It was part of Yam trying to make the 85 models look/feel like mini 500s. Think about it; 500 clocks, 500 top fairing, 500 lower pipe style on the 51L pipes and of course, rectangular paddle turn signals. But... the lenses in the new correct rectangular inds i bought were not all the same type. The fronts come with the correct style (number of sections in the reflector) lenses but the rears dont. Easy enough to buy a set of the correct lenses for the fronts as they are still available for about $5 each and swap them. That went well, which was weird as I didn’t think they fit very well previously when I did them on the 500. Hmm... Anyway, I figured that I’ll take it if it was easy and move on. I was almost finished and about to bolt them on and and I sadly noticed that the lens fixings were silver on three of them and yellow/gold on the other one. Hmm... Judging by the original 500’s units they were originally all yellow/gold. Out they all came and into the plating they go... So I have stunt spare stainless bolts holding the lenses in for now. A note on the parts books for these 85 models. The indicators are not correctly listed in eat least the Aussie version, where the front and rears are the same part number. This leads to funny looking droopy front indicators where they are pulled in tight against the fairing. Be wary of that if you order these, the front are different to the back. Ok... Flushed with the success of these I figured I’d sort out the sets of F/N2s for the F2 since I’d just removed two very nice ones from the back of the F1. This started lots of faffing about with inds... So I dig thru the F2 boxes and find all the inds I’d saved for that project. Some of these are XT250 units taken off early in an XTs life and some were well used but nice from the forums but could have come from other yams of the era. I figured I’d choose best set of front and rears and id be sorted. I soon discovered that the F2 oval style also enjoys two types of lenses with different reflector designs! Now with all the inds in one place, including all my the spares, I find a couple of the earlier (I think) type and think to myself that the longer fronts were bought as a pair and one looks to be right, the other is black with crud. hmm.. clean it off and under the crud it’s a different lens. hmm... find another early type with couple of light scratches. I sand and polish them out. Sorted? Well... So, after way more effort that I thought I now I have 4 indicators. 2 long and 2 short; 2 right and 2 left (printing says 'top' on correct sides/places etc), wiring is correct too. All good. I start to clean up the dirt on the bodies and the really dirty one mentioned earlier is badly gouged. Damn! how did i miss that? I then realise these units come apart. Locate the best-of-the-rest body on a short one, unscrew reflector / bulb holder screws then the big nut and its apart. Hold on tho... The other ind has what looks like rivets... wtf...?! Time to break out the Neji Saurus pliers and what do you know, they unscrew. Theyre just screws with no ‘+’ on ‘em. Yeah, thanks yam! I pull that apart, undo the big nut and swap parts over. Clean it up and rebuild it. And I’m done. Wow... way to to lose a couple of hours of messing about lol Anyway, I now have a nice usable set of OEM inds with the right lenses and proper left/right wiring colours all ready to fit when i build F2. So, time to grab a beer and relax? Hell no... Its on to another task. I decide that now the clutch perch has arrived so I should fit that. I realised a while back that I was missing the cranked lever/perch setup that only the 85 models have. Mad but true, Yam used the 29L part on the 83/4 and 86-on bikes, but did the 85 totally differently. Ok, full disclosure, I’m going to leave the PWKs and the natty lever choke setup I made that sits on the bar switch for now. So with the bar end, grip, switch and old perch off and new clutch perch and lever is fitted. Just waiting on Yam Japan to supply the new adjuster parts and I’ll reconnect the clutch. The day isnt done yet, just time for one last longer task... I bought a nos seatlock a while back with 2 keys. Twirling two screws and I’d swapped it with the one already fitted from the matched lock set seat lock I created a while back, so that bit was easy. Next up was to reconfigure the ignition and fuel cap. I got luckly really. The key code was same, phew... No barrels to find and replace. Even better though was that the numbers were only 9 apart! And that equals only a single tumbler change. What was cool is that I didn’t use the fuel cap on the LC that came with the new Yam lockset I bought for that resto as I refrubsihed the original offset cap I had for it that I rekeyed to the new keys, so the brand new Yam feul cap was spare and became the fuel cap for this bike. With that cap being new along with the seat/helmet lock this is becoming very good news indeed for this bike. I should add that the ignition wasn’t left as old junk tho, I mentioned earlier that it was built from original and new aftermarket parts so that has all new electric parts and everything else has been replated. As close as this bike is ever going to get to a ‘new lockset’ Here is my nos key gracing the ign. The set are all keyed alike now to the 2 nos keys. Bliss... i have strange idea of bliss maybe lol

The key being so close confirms what I thought
The letter is the key/barrel shape then each of the 5 numbers is the tumblers type in the same order
Hence A15432 and A15423 would just need the last 2 tumblers swapped
Its also why you can get a key cut from code
