Clay, the most important thing that a lot of riders, if not all could use is a real service manual. It should be shipped with every bike in the form of a CD. I prefer a disc as I can just print the page or pages that I need and not get the book all greasy. Then if I want a printed manual I can just take the disc to my local copy center and have it printed and bound. It would also be nice if they formatted it so that the languages were seperated into their own versions. Four languages on one page just sucks.

Personally I would rather have a service manual than a fanny pack with some cheap tools. Altough I do use my gasgas fanny pack.

Great idea! Plus a CD has got to be a lot cheaper to burn than publishing a paper manual.

It's good that the factory is using loctite. My feeling is that they used too strong a loctite on a bolt that may need to be removed. Heating it would ruin an o-ring that's in there to seal it from the top. I put blue loctite on it when I put it back together.

Preferably a 6 sided socket as opposed to a 12 point one. I would think that a previous years axle nut would fit as long as thje axle is the same size.

All of your triple clamp bolts should get some anti seize as well as your bar clamp bolts. Along with your swing arm pivot bolt. A mix of anti-seize and some grease would be prudent for any fastener that is not removed very often. With the exception of the ones that require loctite. I typically use blue or pink as they are much easier to remove than the red.
The red 271 works a little too good........another trick for smaller(or any size) broken fasteners that are hard to drill or EZ out....is place a new nut over the broken bolt...then MIG weld into the "hole" of the nut to the broken bolt..
it will wind right out with little effort..the added heat from the weld helps too

Grease the kick knuckle often and its fine, not as good as the sealed Yamaha part but works OK. They added an o-ring? Thats good.

Not so much meant as a comment for Spain but maybe a tip for here. I have my bike on the trailer for her maiden voyage tomorrow and it's sitting higher so I noticed that the vent hoses on the left side of the carb were almost touching the chain. I'm sure the chain would probably saw through at least one of them. I put a ty wrap on them and pulled them over away from the chain.
