Resurrecting an old post but I have an issue.
A friend of a friend who is a mechanic I asked to do my valves. He told me that he couldn't undo a 6mm nut holding the water pipe and was afraid of snapping it off.
I am assuming this is the pipe shown in the photos above now I have done the research.
So the bike came back without the valves checked.
Only 21k at the moment so maybe it was a little early anyway.
Surely when the time comes to do them a yamaha dealer will be able to do this job?
They must have come across this issue before with the 900 as it appears others have.
Or maybe he was just a crap mechanic!!
