Thanks for this! I checked with the previous owner and confirmed they're stock. So I'll contact the local dealer today and get some ordered in.

I appreciate the offer! I'm in Atlantic Canada. I'm contacting the local Yahama dealer and will get them to order me the parts.

Yeah, I went on to Partzilla since I'm not in the UK and searched by my bike year. This is what I found:

Thank you! How can I be sure that part 17 hasn't been replaced with something aftermarket?

I just lost one of my weighted ends. Must have fallen off while I was riding. I'm been scouring the internet (Google) trying to find a match for the one I still have. I've attached a couple of photos to this post. Would appreciate any advice!

Oh wait... the heat issue was on your ankle. For me, it's near my knee.

I don't get it... how does that stop the heat from hitting your left leg? The inside of my left leg gets pretty hot in hotter weather... your tube looks like it's pointing right near it?

I know this is an old thread, but I'd love to know where/how you sourced the motor! I'm in the market for one for the same reasons as you were :)

Ok, I got the entire air box out and it was easy. I think I just needed some assurance that it wasn't a big deal. Managed to get the rad fan connector out and tested the motor by connecting to the battery directly. Same behaviour as when on the bike... won't start up unless I spin it to get it...

For sure. That's what I'm doing :)

Yes, this is my assumption. Just wanted to go through all the testing steps for practice. I'm certainly betting on needing a new motor.

I'll have a look. I've already got the fuel tank up, so may as well go the next step. I have the manual as well, just probably searched the wrong text to figure out how to remove it. Obviously, removing the air filter is a piece of cake... but just didn't dig deep enough to find the box removal...

Ok, perfect. I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Ok, so I've read many threads that are related. It's the standard situation: I dropped the bike off-road on the left side. It pushed the fan mount into the radiator and bent the bottom of the rad. Fan was pushed against the rad so it wouldn't start. I've bent the fan mount out, and now the fan...
