I love being on nightshifts at times - lol - gives me a good chance to study spares catalogues
SO.......I found some interesting stuff for my 900ss 1993 bike which will apply to most SS/SL bikes upto 95 (I believe)....
First up Braking Wave discs - yep ! those discs with the funny wavy edge patterns. They actually specifically list a 900ss.....and the drawback erm...well.....yes £175.99 each!!!!!!
Next, for our gorgeous beasts - aftermarket Rectifiers at £61.99....I've seen some on Ebay recently that went for around the £40 mark...I understand the rectifiers can be weak at times.
Finally some I almost glossed over until the connection bit. WHen trying to overhaul my Mikuni carbs last year - I found the importer to be VERY unhelpful with spares. I really wanted to replace the diaphragm and rubber gaskets and managed neither as they either wouldnt sell them or were extortnate !!!
Apparently - (gulp) Yamaha TDM850's had exactly the same carbs fitted early on as my 900ss - which different jetting etc....AND M&P sell overhaul kits (sadly without the diaphragms - but withgaskets etc) for a measely £12, nice one!
Roll on summer
