There was a USA forum post / article on a ST with 80000 km's that was taken apart and measured by Yamaha Japan  ............... zero engine wear noted  :deal:        Anybody with the link ? Agree with Buff  - give the 1190 around 50000 and lets see      :sip:

A Thank you to the chaps Eugene,Justin and Warren at Droomers Bellville  -  the Silver ST relished the attention , Cheers Warren !      10k service completed with care and precision - no scratches , mess or marks.The ST perfect  .................  definately will be replaced with another ST in...

With my very limited night riding the amber guard is removed and strapped to the carrier.I found that the clear guard was better off at night for sharper light focus and less distortion - but this may just be old age !

Check Yami Super 10 below for details -   Neels has the template as he had to detroy my clear guard to make it,well, one for the dogs ! 

If a gremlin does appear near CT - you will be near some of the best Yamaha service agents.....  :peepwall:

A quick pic of the new amber head light guard that has just been fitted.Found Acrylic Trading in Kouga st Stikland  ...........  left the original clear OEM guard with Neels and around 2 weeks later a new 3mm amber guard at R250 was produced. Perfect long distance pick up for vehicles and no...

Another willing few cents - my beautiful silver ST " First Edition" with 9600km and no leaks or any other crap whatsoever !  :hello2: Just a perfect machine that has been designed,machined and made for a specific purpose. Yamaha never set out to build the fastest 1200 dual sport bike,but a top...

Great look Greg --- those spots are perfect, where can i source a set ?

Almost time for a new set of tyres as well -  Did the K60 Scouts not have bead sealing problems ?  - or  were these due to poor dealer fitment ?

Not an issue Snafu  -  just a brilliant machine that does not need more power  :-\  Nothing more challenging that keeping the rpm's up for a quick pass run and back on cruise mode.All this easily achieved on T mode. ???

Interesting Bundu  .....  find it difficult to believe that the increased fuel consumption in S mode will be marginal  ?  Perhaps we can hear more comments ?

The Silver ST is taken on weekend trips ( not as often as i would like  :( )usually around Grabouw,Elgin,Caledon and around back to  Villiersdorp and Franschoek / Stellenbosch  ....................  general riding around 120 to 140km/hr , very quick turns and hilly passes.Fuel useage around  18...

Agreed Mzee  - in a perfect screen the field of vision is not interupted.The screen can be 100mm lower than your eye level and provide good protection and near front vision.

Yep ..........  pics Bundu ?

Perfect words Ian  ........... definately a bond forming with the ST's        :ricky:      :thumleft:

Very nice Bundu ......... agreed, the red sticker must go. Checked out the " Red sticker " set from Oz .. also cool.  :thumleft:

We shall await your return  ........... stay safe in the Jungle . :patch:    :peepwall:

Kom nou --  wat van die " Cat en Module "  ??  Report  .......... ?        :brave:

Thats nasty  ................. you did well to stay upright and whole !  Any advice for similar /possible experiences  ................  ?    :eek7:

CalSci  medium screen  - no buffeting at 120km/hr  , higher speeds minimal. Additional 50mm on width at lower section a great help.For my 187cm (6'1 ) negligble distortion on the off road / track sections - more technical bits are negotiated standing anyway. Will try the higher setting later ...
