I actually live withing 500 metres of Robinsons Suzuki. Problem is their prices are so high. I have often found it cheaper to source parts from the US - even with extra postage charges. The new brake pistons I have in stock came from Canada.

Sound advice. Requesting prices tonight.

He sells stainless pistons for loads of bikes, not just Yams, and he's half the price of anyone else I've found. Good service as well.
And another confirm on those old pistons - paperweights only now.
Crap Torque Arm Bolt
Need to be a little careful with this bike now. Obviously the PO was into short cuts. Why would you replace one of the most crucial bolts on the bike with a dime store look a like?
This is what I found on the rear torque arm:
I am not an engineer. But even I could guess that this bolt is going to be subject to a huge amount of shear when the brakes are fully applied.
So let's get a proper one please:

My Baby Spits Fire At ME !!
It was a beautiful day here today and I just had to give it a go. Got the bike insured and set off.
My newly refurbished brakes we just about good enough after some pumping. I expect they will bed in after a while.
The motor was not as smooth as I remember them being and when I got home I checked the plugs and took off the header pipes and ran it without them for a little while. No. 1 cylinder is overly rich and spitting fire at me.
See: My GS1100G - Road Runner Project Blog - It Spits Fire
No. 1 looks like this:
the others are like this:

Just making sure here, is that "seven to nine thousandths of an inch" or a mis-type that really means "seven to nine hundredths of a milimeter"? :-k

It's called Spitfire and it's brewed by Shepherd Neame in Kent, UK so it's a local beer for me and I very much enjoy it. I had no idea honestly.
The brewery had a funny advertising campaign with this beer a couple of years ago (at the time of the 60 year celebration of VE day). Across all it's pubs it had the slogan:
"Spitfire - No Fokkers get close"

MOT Tested and On the Road
Passed the MOT today with no advisories so get it taxed and on the road at last. Went for a congratulatory spin. Brakes are bedding in nicely now.
