Before the recall came along I had been sitting reading everything on this site for about a year but just couldn't persuade myself to part with any money for modifications [:I]. I also had no confidence in my mechanical ability to make any modifications as its been so long since I've done anything mechanical [:0](i.e. my last lot of stuff like this was when I was a mad 17 year old with an RD350 [B)]).
The opportunity to upgrade to high compression pistons for $300 with no labour did the trick for me. Once I'd overcome the fact that I had to do this or I was missing a golden opportunity, going the whole hog was easy. Now I'm waiting for parts like everyone else but I'm happy with it, its exciting.
Heres my list of mods that managed to make it into the 'recall' (read 'overhaul'):
OE HC 10.25:1 pistons
PCIII USB
PR air kit
S* 2-1-2 pipe
Barons AIS blockoff
Yamaha Mini Fairing
Yamaha passenger backrest
Easy brackets & bags
Who else has taken the opportunity to drain the bank account and have some fun? [/emoticons/emotion-2.gif]
I also thought that It was rather handy (dubious) that Yamaha notified of the recall just as winter was setting in ... think about it.
