Thanks for the advice Chaps, very helpful.
One last thing, do you know what length the studs are? I'm gonna have to order some at the same time as the downpipes as I use the bike everyday to get to work so it needs to be done (hopefully) over a weekend with no hassles.

Sorry for my English.. Studs, as in the threaded "bolts" which the downpipes mount to at the cylinder? Not sure, but I know Kedo sell 'em aswell. They sell both the studs, the nuts, and the gaskets

Steve,
I know the problem! Genuine Yamaha ones aren't expensive - I happen to have a spare set, with nuts in my 'useful bits' box that I bought recently ready for the same job when I bought some suspension bushes. They are 38mm overall, with about 3mm unthreaded centre section. Yam Part No: 90116-06503 (note this is a new number, probably from another, more recent model rather than the one listed in parts lists). They are £1.58 each plus VAT. The nuts are part no 90179-06499, again a new number, and £1.89 plus VAT. I get my parts from Fowlers in Bristol (surprising I know, cos they don't have a great rep for selling bikes. Their parts dept however is really helpful and efficient). I see you're in Wiltshire too - I live just outside Westbury. Happy to lend a hand/large hammer with XT fettling if you're reasonably nearby, or just meet up for a

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB.
