[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1444022, member: 19880"] Reinforcement kit was for the top box, not the side bags ECU Throttle body?? No idea and I had a 2007... There was an additional harness for a ground "spider", not ignition. You mention the harness in #7 and I am not aware of anything else for ignition ground. Ignition switch needs replacement - should be done (there were failures) There was a replacement for the ECU where it did not properly handle big changes in elevation. A "goodwill" recall and I'm not sure if Yamaha is still doing it. If you do a lot of riding in the mountains, you might want to get it done. Better still, get an ebay replacement ECU from 2009-2012 - I think it should work and is likely to improve the "snatchy" throttle (at low openings) which is a problem with early Gen II. Good idea to replace the cam chain tensioner if original. Partway through the 2007 model year, Yamaha went to an improved design although there was never a recall. There were a few grenaded engines due to CCT failure. If the valve clearance check hasn't been done, it is due and makes sense to replace the CCT at the same time. New design has a blue or green dot on the side of the mounting flange. 3/4 temperature sitting at idle on a hot day isn't an issue. Not much useful in the tool kit - the only thing I use is the spark plug socket when changing plugs. Depends on how far you are away from home and what you are comfortable doing at the side of the road. Cell phone and credit card are the most useful tools IMO. I always carry tire repair stuff and compressor if on a trip, spare fuses and a set of Allen keys. Usually have a multi-tool as well. Don't usually bother with a set of wrenches other than sometimes an adjustable. [/QUOTE]
