I assume you reversed that bolt so you can leave the exhaust next time.

Has anyone had success replacing the rubber handlebar bushings on a Gen 2? I tried hammering them out with a punch - the inner ring moved a few mm down (permanently) relative the outer ring, but the outer ring wouldn't budge. Perhaps I need to eat more Wheaties. After about a half hour of trying off and on I decided to leave them in place and see if a shop could try next time I take it in for a valve check. No mention of the mounts in the service manual either - maybe Yamaha didn't ever intend for them to be replaced, although if that is the case then I wonder why they are selling them as spare parts?
Strangely, after re-attaching the handlebar, it wiggles less now than they did before, which is why I wanted to replace he bushings with fresh rubber in the first place I'm not too worried that I damaged the existing rubber seeing as how hard I had to hammer on them to get the center to move even a tiny bit.

You need to make yourself a "puller" using some threaded-rod, some nuts and washers, and various size sockets.
The outer-shell has to be pressed in and out.
I contemplated replacing mine, but ended up making the connection "solid" using some large, thick fender-washers on either side of the "bushing" part.

Thanks Alan, I'm trying to understand your suggestion - does the drawing below basically show what you mean?
If I had a mechanic to do it, would they have a special tool for applications like this or would they also jimmy something together?

Yes. Your drawing shows exactly how I would do it.
You could put together the needed stuff pretty cheaply at your local hardware store.

Installed Helibar Risers on the bike with the hope of sitting further back on the seat (short arms and legs). Lost a bolt somewhere in the bike and have a replacement coming in.

Black holes are found two places in the universe; outerspace, and the inner bowels of motorcycles. It’s amazing how the odd fastener can disappear into a bike never to be seen again…

I’ll have to remember that… searched for a good hour. Took parts off, laid the bike down on each side, magnets, etc. Finally gave up and figured it won’t be able to hurt anything. Just a PAIN and hard to stay positive.

I changed my 21st rear tire today. That makes a grand total of 32 tire changes since I bought the bike in 2014. Used those Motion Pro bead/breaker tire levers; they worked pretty good.

Just bled out the rear brake and checked the caliper on the newly acquired but slightly abused gen1, I have bled plenty of brakes over the years but never seen so much air. Initially no bubbles until I cycled the ABS a few times then more air than fluid and some brown lumps in it. After bleeding/refilling/cycling ABS/bleeding over and over again I managed to get through nearly a litre of new fluid before it was coming out clean and bubble free. No breaks or holes in any of the lines or the abs hydraulic unit, not entirely sure how so much air has managed to get in.
Starting to think the other jobs in this bike are going to take longer than planned
Next up are the valves and CCT, new sparks, two new ignition coils and I imagine probably replacement shims under the valve caps.
Will jiggle the throttle position sensor back and forth a few times while I'm in there and give it a good clean out.
It's going to be a long weekend.

Make sure the ABS unit isn’t sitting in water. There are 2 drain holes in the tray it lives in, make sure they’re not blocked. Drains are easily accessed from sort of near the top of the shock, where a traditional battery would be located. A small cable tie poked about will remove most (if any) debris. Access is above the rear wheel area, not under the seat.

Pulled front pads out to check for wear and give the pistons a clean , one of the R Clips was missing...didnt sort of surprise me as the others released REALLY easily , they didnt seem to have much tension on them.
Should the retaining pin be rolled forwards a bit so the installed R Clips are nestled under the retaining spring to stop them from potentially coming out (?) i realise they shouldnt anyway. I tried to close up the Clips somewhat before refitting so the have some decent pressure/tension when they go thru the hole and 'click' around the ret pin.
Going to buy 4 more anyway, im thinking it shouldnt matter where the Retaining pin or R Clips are in their final resting place whether they are sorta in the middle or slightly in an upper or lower position.

How To: Cycle the ABS Pump
Here's how to use the S10 built in ABS pump cycling feature. Tools Needed: 1. Jumper wire with both ends stripped. 2. Mini Screw Driver to remove the waterproof rubber bungs. 3. Fully Charged Battery. 3. Locate the 4-way connector under the main seat. 4. Remove the 2 rubber bungs on Blue...

I just drive down a gravel road with no traffic and slam on the brakes a few times to cycle the ABS
That's what I would do... but I am trying to come out of my Neanderthal mentality! Hahaha
