Hi guys.
My name is Dmytro, from Kyiv, Ukraine. I know that most of you knows how we are here, and motorcycle is probably one of the few joys that some of us have now, a kind of two-wheeled psychotherapist :)
My previous bike is a BMW r1100gs 1998y.o, with 200,000 km on odometer (but probably more, I'm not a first owner ;).
I've been dreaming of a ST for around 5 years, collecting funds... this year I decided that I couldn't drag it any further, and while there's time and opportunity (at least theoretically), I need to do something nice for myself. :) And I bought a 1200ze from a Canadian auction. And now I am repairing it in my free time, and I hope that in a month and a half I'll be able to ride)

Putting this puzzle together little by little) Judging by the damage and a little stuck wool in pieces of plastic - this bike met a deer in Canada)

Yeah.. It took about 3 months.. now it needs to be fixed, than certified and registered.
Not straight to Ukraine. From Canada to Poland/Lithuania by ship...

The reason is simple - such bike, in normal condition of such a year, it will cost about 2 times more than bike from US/CA with registration and repair here.

Yes, in general, all the front plastic, headlight, radiator, fan... I already bought most of them and a few more parts on the way. Have to deal with the fasteners) not entirely clear how it is all attached to each other. But I have a friend who is ready to come and we will make everything based on the example of his ST..

Here are the parts:

We can not post links to the "2012 Yamaha Service Manual" on this forum but it easy easy to find with a Google search.

Good luck and keep us up on how you are doing. A lot of owners here know every inch of the bike.
