    Changes planned for my new Yamaha YDX Moro 07

    I put a touch of grease under the bolt head and left the washer to caliper dry. Without it, every time I tightened the bolts, the caliper moved slightly. Locktight on the bolts too.

    Changes planned for my new Yamaha YDX Moro 07

    Agree- I had to adjust front and rear calipers. I just installed my first replacement rear pads.. They do not last for very long when doing big downhills.

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    I have a 1x11 Sram on a DM01 at 60v, but installed an ebike rated chain on it and a shift sensor. The drivetrain is holding up well for all but my cassette, which has loosening rivets. (soon to be replaced with a solid unit) I think I damaged the cassette by riding the bike when it was first...

    Yamaha YDX-Moro 07 Special Edition for $1600

    I picked all 3 of them up and my friends also picked up all of theirs. $1699.00 total with $25 fee ea! I wanted to buy them in the box and assemble them myself, but that was a no-go for warranty I was told.

    3 New 04 Yamaha YDX Moro 07 Special Editions

    That's too bad you guys in the UK didn't get the price drop.. I would love to have the Yamaha Wabash RT too. I suspect that the Wabash will have a similar parts support as the Moro. This should add a much longer service life to the product.

    3 New 04 Yamaha YDX Moro 07 Special Editions

    Well, our 3 new Yamaha Moro 07s arrived last week. We spent a bit of time setting up the suspension for our weight and moving stuff about to our preferences. The owners manual unfortunately did not have a section on suspension setups, so we had to go to Rockshocks for specs. I managed to get...

    Yamaha YDX-Moro 07 Special Edition for $1600

    My oldest son and his wife will also have theirs on the place, as well as a handful of friends that bought them. We should get a pretty good idea of the pros and cons pretty soon. I will do a few posts on them for sure. I was reading about the KTM / GasGas bikes a while back. Seemed like...

    Yamaha YDX-Moro 07 Special Edition for $1600

    I was very motivated by the deal.. and didn't really need the bike either.. but as the price creeps upward the lure looses some shinny in proportion..
