We don't have potholes here in the south. What we have (at least here in Georgia) is sinkholes that occasionally open up when underground streams washout under the road (parking lot, hotel, stadium, etc.) Those have a tendency to compress the old suspension if you happen to find one. :^) >>I wo

One additional variable, tire profiles vary from one manufacturer to the next. It is common to find a tire with a smaller width of one brand being wider than a tire the next numerical size larger. Standing them side by side, it is visible. I have no explanation for this, just first hand experie

Doubtful. Try installing the pivot bolt in the frame, without the swingarm, torque it to spec, and see if it wiggles. At the torque the bolt requires, It is highly unlikely you could generate the force necessary to overcome the friction of the nut against the frame. It is possible that while ri

The ABS warning light is intended to signal the rider that his ABS is electronically inoperative, and his braking has reverted to normal hydraulic braking. Yamaha does not profess that the light warns against non electric conditions preventing the ABS from functioning.

"to tire pressure => more is better" Just a quick caution. The GTS front is max about 36 PSI in high speed trim. The tires must deform when cornering to maintain traction. If you overfill the tire you'll be OK in a straight line, but will loose traction in the corners at speed. If you overf

Kevin 130/60 should give more protection on the sides - stick out further past the rim - and be about the same in front. Direct impact damage - front - is more related to tire pressure => more is better. When the force of the impact pushes the tire back to the rim you ruined a tire and bent the
