Hallo Again
I am about to pull the trigger on a brand new 05 YZ.My only concern is that I weigh 220pounds and as far as I know this bike is sprung for guys in the 165 -185 pound class.This will mean new springs in the front and in the back.Seeing that I am buying the bike from a dealer can I ask him [or Yamaha ] to change the springs for me free of charge or is that to much to ask .I dont really want to carry that xtra $500 or so.Please advise.
I would like to take the bike back to South Africa and as you guys know we have unleaded gas [93 and 97 octane]aswell as Unleaded. If I use 97 octane,will the bike run right and what will I have to change to make it run with this gas or should I just stick to unleaded[always thought 2 strokes make better power with better gas].
My plan is to put the Pro CirCuit pipe[platinum 2] and x haust[factory sound] on ,please give me your advise and thoughts.
Any replies and thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Johan
