"Rant On'... I dont know about you lot out there, but it seems I am paying a feckin boat load of cash for spares for my XTZ if I buy them locally A case in point here are the brake disks. I went down to my local yamaha dealer and the chap wanted .... wait for it... ..... two grand per disk! I mean , c'mon that is just taking the piss mate. So I had a peek online and picked up a new rear disk for 500 bucks. Thats more like it!! ... "Rant Off"

Yep, that's why they are called "Stealerships" in Aussie, the robbing bastards.

Mezo.

Ouch!!! That makes me glad I just bought one.

No one warned me about the cost of ownership!

Although converting Rand to OZ that's about $250 - still stealership territory!
