Only thing that concerns me is the ECU/TPS issue. Only the mechanic rode the bike and said is ok but dont know yet for sure. He will make a list of the parts need change and let me know. He will change the timing chain for sure. The bike looks good mechanically but needs some fixing on the looks due to the age of it.
Wanted to post some photos of it on here but it seems like attachment option is not available.
Hey mate, welcome.
You don't have to worry about timing chain as it's just 40K for the machine. Ride another 40K and then you might be needing one.

As you have mentioned that you are still a new one in the motorcycling world (I hope I read that correctly), so never ignore the importance of protective clothing. There are many brands like HD: http://www.harleyheaven.com.au/for-men.html, Resuregence Gear: https://www.resurgencegear.com.au, Revzilla: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/...n-covert-jeans

Wish you the great experience with your Yamaha. Cheers.
