To be honest, a broken gearbox will cost more to get fixed than a Thundercat is worth, so don’t be tempted to buy a cheap one and assume you can get it mended for pence as even the parts alone are fairly pricey.

Something went wrong.

This must be done via an Authorised Yamaha Dealer. i currently run the bridgestone bt020 but the rear has flat spotted in the centre and the front doesnt give me much confidence when pushing hard in the twisties. Yamaha motorcycles are now renowned for their motocross bikes. On a 600 you could run a whole year on a set. Always check consumable items such as the chain and sprocket, tyres etc and while they are very robust, just check the blue-spot calipers aren’t seized up. I run Avon Storm ST down the rear with a Avon Viper Sport front just to give the front end a bit more grip - feels superb on the road. A few owners report issues with the carbs, which can wear over time, but this is another common problem with older bikes and rebuild kits are relatively cheap with the carbs fairly easy to access. Reducing pressure DOES NOT increase grip, it LOWERS the bikes capacity to handle weight (race bikes are lighter and heat tyres more so run generally lower pressures). It is the way the bike and tyre manufacturers designed them work best and is the safest and legal way to run on the road. Clear editor. While they are unlikely to reach ‘future classic’ status, by the same token you are aren’t going to lose much cash on one either when it comes to selling it on again as they are so cheap to buy.

went for these instead of the michelin ct since i dont intend on taking my bike on a track and the bridgestone according to reports has allegedly got a bit more durability on the centre contact part of the tire and is still pretty good on the edges for road use altho is known to overheat on the track so this will probably suit me better.
