Great write up! Wish you had done a year ago. My final drive was leaking from the drain hole on the swing arm. Would leave drops on the garage floor and the wheel was a mess after a ride. I finally had enough and changed the seal you pictured. Since then no more leak and wheel is clean. But you...

The new features section on Yami website claims 2006 swingarm is longer but specs say wheelbase same as 2005. How do they do that? Is the rake and trail on the front end going to compensate or am I missing something?

New windshield adjustment angle, new instruments, adjustable seat,handle bars and middle cowling. Standard ABS. 12v power outlet.

There is also a description of changes including new cooling system. Look at the shield around seat.

Yes it was a Yamaha filter. I'll try to post a picture if anyone wants to see.

Just checking to see if this has happened to anyone else. I went for a ride yesterday and something hit my oil filter and opened a thin gash which leaks. So i will change oil tonight. But it is just the wierdest thing because I didn't hear or feel anything hit the bike. Also there are some bad...
