Nice one edd1e. They are so much fun, the torque is unreal. Enjoy :cool:

Awesome!

~10,800 with a few extras. These were 14-15k a couple of months ago.

That's a steal!

That looks lovely. Having lived on my k1300s for so long though, these normal size bikes don't half look small!

Sorry about my earlier post, looks like I have a browser issue.

This link seems to be working:

The ZR-7 is great fun to ride, I'm going to try going out in it today or tomorrow

after I finish this university assessment.

Full tax and MoT, 33k miles, great condition throughout. Comes with screen, top box and heated grips and the power delivery is good for someone who is hopping on a big bike for the first time after doing direct access

Looks good and a decent first bike to get you used to riding a more powerful bike.

Nice one! Enjoy it, but watch out as the back end will step out a lot easier on this than on smaller bikes. Especially this time of year

Hey Guys,

Just realised that although I bought the bike in June (I think) that I hadn't put a picture up!

Feeling as bad as I do, here's one taken at Cadwell earlier this year

She didn't do too bad for what my dad lovingly referred to as a barge!

Captain · 16 Dec 2016 at 16:01

Just been for a quick blast.

Craig321 · 16 Dec 2016 at 16:14

Must have been really quick, your downpipes aren't even dirty

IC3 · 16 Dec 2016 at 16:14

you haven't fitted the new exhaust yet?

You can't see them clearly but the bike is filthy! Was only out for an hour, Friday drivers are out in force today all rushing to get home

Can't you see it in the picture?

I'll do it tomorrow, would you lot attempt it? Changing down pipes etc?

Sin_Chase · 16 Dec 2016 at 17:13

Looks easily accessible on that bike, would do it myself for sure. Should replace the exhaust gaskets at the same time really.

The bike is only 6 months old, surely they'll be OK to use again?

Freeman · 16 Dec 2016 at 17:34

I dunno, gaskets are one of those things that I'd always replace regardless of age. Realistically though you'd probably be fine not replacing them.

It's not about age, but exhaust gaskets are normally 1 use parts. Copper crush gaskets. They are so cheap it's worthwhile just replacing them.

Captain · 16 Dec 2016 at 17:43

I may not be able to fit it tomorrow then as I'll have no new gaskets unless I can pick some up early morning.

Sin_Chase · 16 Dec 2016 at 17:48

You can probably get away with re-using them, it's up to you!

If you re-use and get leakage then you'll have to get new ones and re-fit.

Captain · 16 Dec 2016 at 18:01

Are they all pretty similar or bike specific? I'll have to phone the yamaha dealer tomorrow and see if they have any in stock.

Just checked, closest yamaha dealer is 30 miles away.
