Back in the Yoshi club, Got one of these

[youtube][/youtube]

Don't know why everyone loves the iron curtain race cans so much.... Yoshimura all the way for me!

You wouldn't want to own a Yugo45 or some other former soviet car but will bang a former Yugoslav can on your bike

Well a lot of Race teams would disagree with you on that one Seb...

What....they race Yugo's

That's a bit different from the standard can mate. How did you get around the valve thngy or have you still got that.

I know I know just messing lol I did want one but could only afford the one I wanted on finance over a two year plan and not seen a decent used hexagonal titanium one for sale on Eblag, so when the Yoshimura popped up with a buy it now of 175 I got it as soon as it came on. Normaly they sell for 330-600 used, just hope not mint doesn't mean a bit wombles but works..... It's on its way today so will report back fingers crossed for me guys

That would be a brilliant race series!

To my knowledge it's the only other can that utilises the valve the Yoshimura ones, this is one of the expensive factory optional extras not many of them about, the use of the valve apparently stops a low flat spot and boosts low tourqe by 6 per cent, most people say it's just a noise thing rip it off etc but you can definitely feel the difference between it turned on and off plus I've been getting about 7-10 more miles to a tank full, not much but it helps.
It can be quite frugal with juice when not hammering it hard from the lights and giving it the beans down the motorway, been returning 50 to 60mpg on fill ups, I keep thinking I will ride a whole tank and see how far I can get on it taking it slow but not managed that with rushing to work

Been getting 155 miles when filling up and then putting in between 13 and 15 ltr in the 18ltr tank so should be able to get 175 miles no problem I would have thought, fuel light is annoying tho

Constantly flashes at you, then when it's down to 1ltr it goes to permanent light, I would have had that other way round my self, never had it down to a ltr yet tho, but done 30miles with it flashing which is wombles annoying in the dark with a bright yellow light yelling hello hello

That makes a lot more sense.

When people start going on about mileage that is almost if not double the Storm it makes me want to get rid of my bike.......for 5 mins

Cans arrived, wombles happy it's near mint other than some rubbing where the strap sat and a what looks like a home made benny style baffle i'm yet to remove, off to subway will clean it up when I get home after work :-)

Yeah that's always been one major draw back on the storm, if only it had the 19ltr tank from the get go

Well if you look at it that way then you ride a bike and run an end can from the folks that brought you the Battle of Hong Kong, the Bataan Death March, Pearl Harbor, Singapore and a few other fun filled adventures.....
and what have the Yugoslavs ever done to you????

i dont mind stopping to fill up! i get great delight from people tottally crapping them selves when i start up under,s garage canopy. multi storey car parks are great too

Dropped the oil out and ordered some new bolts from Honda, and a staff discount to boot. I have some of that ty, read up and cct check required next

Well as you didn't mention the weeds in the between the paving slabs we will have to pick on them instead.

That swingarm looks awsome. Well done Dave. Your bike is cewrtainly coming along Tracy and will be well bling.
