hi there,

re. your cracked fork leg problem......

I'd definitely say it's not safe to ride, the front wheel spindle might be torqued into the other fork leg but those pinch-bolts will stop the spindle unscrewing!!!!

Yamaha will charge about �292 for just the lower leg
you'll also need enough fork oil to do both fork legs and a new seal for the
new fork leg (you might as well do the other one while you're on too)

Stripping the forks isn't easy but can be done without the Yamaha special tools if you have access to a compressor/air drill

I'll email you more details...... cheers....geordiebandit
