Hi there thanks for reaching out & your positive feedback its much appreciated, glad it may be of some use to you. Ride safe 👍

Hi there, iv got a few things going on at the moment & working on 2 other bikes but I will certainly try and get round to it for you

"Thank you! Yesterday I bought the exact same bike, a Sprint ST, but in black. It's from 2007 and I'm super happy with it. I've already ridden 200 kilometers, and what an amazing bike to own and ride!"

@@bbchaos100 Hi there, this was a family members bike. I think it was purchased via either Ebay or aliexpress. But I will try and find out for you.

does it help with falls when the bike is idle ?

Hi there, no this is mainly a decorative guard with some functional use by protecting the radiator fins when riding by preventing stones or debri from damaging the cooling fins. If the bike was to fall over or be involved in a slide I don't think the radiator sticks out that much I imagine most of the contact would be with your bar ends & petrol tank.

🤣 the futures not looking bright for motorcycling in my opinion..

@thedbsworkshop1 well the landscape is definitely changing

Hi there, apologies for such a late reply I've been mad busy with work this week. It is fairly loud with the baffle fitted but ok & simular to most aftermarket cans, if you are concerned with it being too loud I would suggest choosing a longer length like the more traditional 600mm-750mm commonly found on older bikes, but please do your own research & judgment. With the baffle removed however it is LOUD! Like you can hear it coming from hundreds of yards away especially with some slightly spirited throttle. As for the weight I couldn't say exactly I wish I would have weighed the two to compare, But just going of feel alone the difference is huge in my opinion! And there is most definitely some some weight savings to be had by swapping out for this end can & pretty much all other brands of aftermarket end cans to be honest. Hope that helps, Ride safe

@steveleegym thank you for the comment, glad you enjoyed it

Hi there, thanks for reaching out and for the kind words. I'm glad some of the content can be of some good use to you. Have you got much to do in order to recommission the bike?

@@thedbsworkshop1 Front fork seals are shot, looking at a refurbed yoke+fork set on eBay but first I want to make sure she's still turning over. Worried about rings sticking. Plan to take the plugs out (thanks for the vid) spray some WD40 in there a day prior, rock it in gear then try turning it over with the plugs out.

Ah right, iv heard alot of people saying to use genuine seals but I was on a tight budget so see how these after markets last. I had the top & bottom yokes powder coated locally for about £30 (aswell as other bits) & look so much cleaner. Glad the video could be of some use to you, you'll have yo let me know how you get on with the pistons.

@@thedbsworkshop1 Not going well. First my spark plug socket won't fit down the plug well (will have to order a thin wall socket). Then when I went to drain the tank nothing's coming out when I switch it to On/Reserve (with or without cap on) - is that normal? I have so many questions!

@ionwerks as for the fuel tank yes that's normal as the tap is vacuum fed, you'll either have to attach a hose to the small nipple and blow into it (which will take a while) or best to remove the fuel tap all together unless you fancy syphoning the fuel out (do at your own risk) *up coming video currently in edit 🙈*

Hi there thanks for your comment. Yes, the steel I had laying around wasn't the right size, so I ended up ordering some of Ebay cut to the size I needed think it cost about £6

Brilliant bike, I do love a yammi. Great choice also 👍, being around for over 20 years they have managed to refine the YZ platform with the X model & the wide range gearbox, can't beat a good 2 stroke imo 😀

@@thedbsworkshop1 Yeah the gearing is perfect for me as I don't do much MX riding anymore, mostly trail and some enduro riding, my bike is perfect for it and have had it for 4 years since brand new and still the most reliable bike I have ever had.

😃 glad to hear, thank you for the comment & feed back much appreciated 👍 ride safe

Oh brilliant, glad to hear it & and you're sorted now. Thanks for reaching out 👍 ride safe

Yes, you could, I worked on bikes for many years in my younger days without one. But being very careful making sure to properly tighten up/secure fasteners properly. Also it's good practice to perform a short test ride then go over & re-check all the fasteners are all still tight & haven't moved. Although I would highly recommend the use of a torque wrench even a low-cost one as I've learnt over the years there is good reason to secure to OEM spec with different strength bolts/clamping forces or in some applications the use of stretch bolts(one time use) etc But of course any work on your own bike is at your own risk.

That's great to hear thank you for reaching out & the feedback much appreciated 👍

Glad to hear it, thank you for the feedback & comment 👍

Interesting choice, BMW or HONDA? do you have a particular favourite model or just a boxster in general?

Glad to hear it was of some use to you, thank you for the comment & feedback 👍

Thanks Ian glad to hear 👍

😀 that's just put a smile on my face, thank you for the kind words much appreciated 👍

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I am not sure on the licence plate holder as the bike came with the tail tidy pre-installed when I purchased the bike. But for the exhaust I have installed a delkevic can & link pipe (KIT29KA) delkevic.co.uk/triumph-sprint-st1050-2005-2007-225mm-oval-stainless-exhaust-kit-KIT29KA.html (It is loud!)

Hi there, I'm not actually sure for some reason I haven't linked it in the description. But I will try and find the artist & song and get back to you when u can.

Glad I could help, thanks for the comment. Let me know what you decide to get.

Thank you for the comment and the feedback much appreciated 👍
