Thanks for sharing. Ive had mine for 2 years and I've found this bike to be exceptionally good. I do mainly gravel and highway riding and its so capable here. It can carry alot of weight for those 3 or 4 day trips easily. Impressive fuel range. Really comfortable too. Probably the best bike I've had in 43 years of riding. Highly recommended 😊
@@brotherbrenden absolutely good reliable bikes. We travelled a few years ago from Cape Town to Kenya and back over a few months and never had a days problem. Thanks for watching, next episode I'm going to cover our equipment.
Hello! Absolutely, I changed the Cam chain and tensioner with original Yamaha parts as I got the bike at around 50 000km and wasnt sure if it was ever checked or replaced so I just did it anyway. The clutch basket I upgraded to the new improved Yamaha original parts and also replaced the clutch plates at the same time (all Yamaha original parts) the clutch basket upgrade made a huge improvement to shifting and the quietness of the bike. Well worth every cent.
@tothebackofbeyond Thank you for your reply. My barn find 2013 only has 6500mls on it, so replacements and upgrades will be a long way off as everything is like new and works fine. Cheers

@@aleccoldman5041 perfect 😀.
If you’re replacing the ACCT then you should check the valves at the same time. Because to do it you will have to dig deep.
