In excellent mechanical condition, with cosmetic restoration requirements to be mint again. It's an off road bike though you know, so it's up to you.

It's reasonably stock, with a stainless exhaust system (Motad headers and a no-name, legal muffler), slightly longer gearing for occasional motorway ...

Fantastic. Even if I have to buy a 27mm bolt that sounds like a winner.

I have just done a fork service and inspection on my 3YF. It appears the big allen bolt that holds the damper in place is not tighened on one side. It's marked in my manual as "63Nm with Loctite", so I feel that's an important thing to rectify.

However I think I've spotted something, the black plastic connector ...

I'm having problems with the charging system, but I'm not really sure what it is. Not terrible problems, just slightly frustrating ones. Does anyone have any experience with the following issues?

Symptoms:
Engine running, headlight off, things seem fine, good charging voltage.
Headlight on, and I ...

I totally forgot to mention here that I'm selling a tall touring screen for a XT600Z 3AJ. I never fitted it in the end so it's brand new, made by Slipscreens. Great company, reasonably priced screens, range of options. I have a similar one on my XTZ660 now. £30 including UK postage on eBay ...
