WANTED

Hi Everyone. Been a while since I was last here. Had my VTR stolen a while back and was fortunate enough to have had the police find the person and recover my bike.

You'll need to suspend the bike as the swingarm spindle hanger runs through it - or push in the rear wheel spindle as you pull it out, to stop swing arm dropping out. So if I supsend the rear wheel with a bike stand, the 22mm nut should come out then without dropping my swingarm on to the floor ? N...

Re: PAINT CODES

Can anyone tell me where to find my factory yellow paint code to colour match a belly pan with ? Every yellow I look at just isnt quite right. Cheers Guys There should be a sticker on the l/h top rail of the subframe, just lift the seat off to find. After 20 odd years chances are it's missing... Yo...
