Welcome to the forum
Interesting choice of username for a yella owner
I was worried that you had a matte black bike, they're getting too popular. There's 3 that I know of now! Either way, welcome to the madhouse. Have a read of the workshop board to get to know the bike, common faults are CCT's and reg/rec

Welcome to the club
do you have a re spray in mind being as though your not keen on the yellow? As said, if you don't know the must do upgrade then get reading. There's plenty of info on here to add to your motorbike mechanic knowledge.
Enjoy the storm
