Time to get it on the road after 2 years!

[devilonadivvy]

Well I'm one nut less. And probably looking at losing the other but it's time to get back on the bike.

I'm going to take to dash apart and change the bulbs with led ones. As some have blown Then get a new battery. Mainly due to the fact that even when i ran it, after a few days afterwards it wouldn't start.

Put some genuine heated grips on it which i got for a fiver!

Then mot time!

Where can i get new screw's and rubber doo dars for the cowling? All of mine just spin around.

Screen screws & wellnuts, plenty of choices on Ebay, just search "yamaha screen screws"
(Also Halfords sell them.)

Main fairing relacement bolts:

Cool. But my nuts are spinning around. To coin a phrase

It seems that the rubber bung things spin around with the thread inside.

How do i stop them from doing that and get the things out?

Start with the top ones. Apply a little pressure, by pulling the screen gently a little towards you. If that grips them enough, happy days - you can unscrew whilst the well nut is 'gripped'. If not, it might pull it (the well nut) out with the nut, so again job done.

Screen of. But main fairing ain't budging. Can i follow the same steps,?
They are just spinning around too
