I've got a brand new 3EN2 nose cone in the garage, genuine Yamaha stock item (now obsolete I believe). An offer of £90 or more and it's yours.



Plus I've got all my 3EN1 panels going begging in a few weeks once the race bodywork is on, I believe they are the same but I'm sure Evil Chicken will confirm.
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

The 3en1 fairing should fit but the tail plastics are a bit different.

The clutch - take the front sprocket cover off and you'll see the clutch worm gear. Clean the old chain lube and crap away from it and see if it helps
