Right the time has come to drop the front end and grease the head bearings and sort the stripped axel pinch bolt; I've got the manual but can I just clear up a few queries first please. Propping up the bike - will jacking up the bike as per Kev,s XTX post suffice? I guess the plastic bash plate will have to come off first. Second I want to take off the tank, do I have to drain the fuel or is that just H&S crap from Yamaha? You did not have to on my old the X but rather than have petrol all over the floor its best to ask. Cheers Dave.
