Happy new bike day.... WTF, what do you mean it's a Yamaha ???

[weeksy]

NOt exactly what i wanted to purchase, but if we all want to do a UK day before anything else next year, then this is what we'll be needing.

Is it as heavy as the bar end weight it replaces?

I had to fit extra heavy bar ends on mine to stop vibration.

From what I can tell on the zx6 r it's pretty close. I'll go as far as to weigh both when I do the XSR

I've never seen one of those, is there one each side? Is it for crash protection?

It's for track use, now mandatory in UK. It stens from an accident where someone clipped someone's brake lever and was killed. So now every bike on a track needs a guard fitting.

I don't like them, but rules are rules

You can buy for both sides but only needed for brake

Wow, that's a bit of overkill isn't it?

I'd be inclined to agree 100% but that's the rules so there's no choice. If you turn up without one, you're going home

Not sure if you have seen this Mr W?

I'd have loved the full IDS kit but it's a bit spendy so just went with oil and springs.

Being at the back of novices and so many people in front - you'll not need one fella

i have heard that you may be going back to a 12bhp single though - 55bhp is scaring you

That depends on many aspects of the world. But at this moment i'd happily say no, i'll be staying on the Yamaha.
