Hi All,

Had my nice new one of these a few weeks now, having decided to start the daily commute to work, the gixer does not quite do the trick for me.

So 0% finance deal and £200 down and I'm in! Wow what a buzz this toy has, now covered just under 800 miles and it is such a great piece of kit.

So thought I would join here as I know I already need help with fitting of a Yam / Datatool alarm that I have just had delivered.

Cheers to you all and looking forward to fun in the Sun, oh damn I am in the UK, oh well better get my waterproofs out then.

Hi Ian,

Welcome to the site. There is quite a few Brits on here, although we don`t all live in the UK.

What does the comp white bit mean?

You need to get some pics posted so we can all see you and your bike.

There is some really useful info on here so enjoy it.

Hi Steve,

Comp = Competition, it's Yamaha's description of the colour, has a nice red stripe down the centre of the tank.

Already browsing the suspension mods, as I only have 3 things so far that I think are not quite how I would like:

1 - mirrors, had another go at adjusting them yesterday so hope I can see more than my elbows soon.
2 - can't get the damn ignition key out easy due to clutch cable routing.
3 - It does not have adjustable suspension, but then it also did not cost me the price of a sports bike.

All in all, I cannot fault this bike for comfort, power, useability and looks I am hooked on it and the gixer may well head back to it's former track-day attire.

Hi Ian,

The white looks well nice with the red stripe. Very retro.

The Power Blue is of course better.

Enjoy The Forum.

Okay, I assume I have to make up a web location to host pics then I can post the link. Is there a linked preferred site like on other forums I have used ?

I use Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket, but you can also upload pictures into the gallery on this forum and post them from there.
