no, but it was a filtro one with the stamped out holes. the yam one had a mesh around the outside and I could feel it when I blew into the new one. the old one was still clean

Original equipement Manufacture = OEM, usually but not always made by the same peeps who orginally made the part alledgely to the same specs.

Genuine = yamaha

Changed the plate as some xxxhole somewhere decided that 17x13cm plates are no longer legal and should be replaced by 21x13cm plates, with retroactive effect ! :rant:
was in A&E this morning as I was doubled over in pain. turns out I have a water infection. lost most of the day but I can't sit still, so with the meds keeping the pain away, changed the clutch springs for the later ones (they are 50mm as opposed to 55mm) and they made a lot of difference.
Â
clutch is nice to use, throw is less due to them being shorter/stronger and a lot lighter to use too.

Quote:Careful Chris, you might have to ride it after that!
That is actually going to happen this year, although riding to Liverpool with a pillion when neither of us have ridden in ages might result in some saddle sores :-D
1992 Mk1, 76k miles, Hagon springs, MTC exhaust, 4½ gears Gone now
Adjusted(re-) steering head bearings play & mirror risers, went on 20km sunday ride with a friend on a Harley. Riding at about same pace - his limited by metal sticking out, mine by gutsÂ
The old cow's handling is wonderful ! Obviously first time in 12 years of ownership where tyres, steering, suspension and wheel bearings are good simultaneously...
