Those graphics are sick!! The bike looks awesome. What bar bend are you running? They look like 918's?

Idk how tall you are, but im 6'2 and run the 918's with the mount in the front hole facing backwards. I think they consider it 3rd position. Made a huge difference for me. I hated the stock bars.

Get the suspension set-up and go! Ride height in the back is kinda important on the YZF. The forks really work this year and adjusting their height in the clamps really helps adjust how it turns in the tighter stuff.

Best of Luck

I have one too, be careful not to loose the rubber grommets (6) on the air filter cover, they come off easily. I'm 6'2 put the bar full forward and love it. 26 hours on it, perfect so far. I also put one tooth more on the rear sproket

Same goes for the grommets on the little seat-cover for the gas cap.

I have one over heated it at 15 hours yamaha replaced the top end and cylinder. Bike handles well, definitely need suspension work. The tuner is a tool that's needed! Bike is setup right, PODIUM!

Cheers...The mud flap was touching the back wheel so I warmed it up and held it there for an hour so it cleared the wheel. I bought the tuner so will be testing it all tomorrow. Can't wait thanks guys

I pretty much prefer AMA racing to the GPs . Next years GPs should be better with a few new riders though

I have to admit that I am not a Yamaha fan, however, that angle makes it look pretty sweet and yes the YoT graphics are sweet!!!
