What did you do to your Yamaha to get 10kw ? It will be interesting to see if your modifications are similar to my planned ones. You said you had problems with the engine bearings, anything else that gave you trouble ?
I plan to do my own maintainence as I have a lock up storeroom in the car park of the apartment block where I live, I need to work out a reasonable maintainence schedule to keep on top of things, so it would seem reasonable to strip the motor down every 10,000 - 12,000 kms to make sure all is well. I will take a look a good look at the engine bearings and replace with non Chinese ones.
I'll start a separate post on my bike as soon as work allows.
If you aever get down to HuiZhou please look me up, I always happy to share a beer with a fellow biker :-)
