Thanks for that, Dale. Yes, it was the PL353 I was asking about. The bike was first registered in March 06 but of course, as Motorcycleplanet point out, it could have been an 07MY, or indeed an 04 that had hung around a bit. But mine definitely has the older (black steel) footrest hangers, so I assume it is the older model and the 353 is the one I need.
You are correct about the pillion grab rails. They are not on the bike, as they would have been removed when the rack was fitted.
I'm pretty confused by the VIN, however. Everywhere I look on the web, the Yamaha VINs are nothing like what I have, and the 10th digit that most of them say is the model year is zero on mine, which doesn't match any of the databases. The VIN is VG5DM011000006477. One site I found listed two variants of XTR, the DM011 and the later DM016. That supports the idea that my bike is the earlier one. I'll phone the supplying dealer tomorrow just to be sure, but I think it's the 353 I want.
Thanks for the reply.
