    Attention New (or any?) Moro Owners - Check your Shock Pivot Bushings for Lube

    I purchased 3 Moro 07's about a month ago. Mine has about 100 miles on it, my wife's 30-ish and my son's probably less than 20. My bike is fine, but the other 2 developed Swingarm play. The problem is Yamaha never lubricated the shock bushing and the one on my wife's bike is already damaged...

    Play in Swingarm

    The "culprit" is Yamaha didn't grease the shock bushings, they were bone dry and binding. The attached photo is off my wife's bike, which maybe has 30 miles on it? It had already marred so I smoothed it over with Scotch Brite, lubed with Bel Ray Salwaterproof Grease (that I bought in 1985 I...

    Play in Swingarm

    I have 3 Moro 07's just about a month old. My wife and my son's both have some play in the swingarm, mine does not. If I pick the rear up by the back of the seat I can feel the play. I've checked all the bolts, nothing seems loose. I'm assuming all the bearings are sealed, so maybe I need to...

    Interesting. The reason I mentioned to check visually is because the adjustment didn't "last" or work on all 3 bikes. I just figured I did something wrong being in a hurry and not visually verifying, so this was on my "to do list" to look into. I know the technique worked on my other bikes...

    Regarding the squeal, I don't think bleeding will help. You need to center the caliper. Try loosening the caliper, pull brake tight and tighten caliper while holding brake. That "should" put the disk in the center of the pads and increase clearance. Visually verify before and after.

    Regarding the bad brake, took it to local shop, it had bad seal. I contacted Magura, sent photo of brake and copy of receipt and they immediately shipped out a new lever/master cylinder plus a bleed kit. It arrives tomorrow. Excellent customer service with Magura.

    Moro 07 Bashguard?

    No I didn't remove the chain guide, just 1 bolt and used it to bolt the bash guard on over that part of the chain guide. It's clears the chain and sprocket, I was worried it might rub. Use loctite. Will field test this weekend with a ride, but think it will be fine. My old shock pump seal...

    Moro 07 Bashguard?

    Also, even though my bike was supposedly set up for my weight by the dealer, it was way, way off. My wife's shock was way off, but forks were spot on. Buy a decent pump and set up your shock per the app to start.

    Moro 07 Bashguard?

    This is the one I bought, put it on and it fits and doesn't rub but I had to install over the chain guide on one end. Picked this one because it's Purple and 34T - 36T: https://www.ebay.com/itm/387561383973?var=654798590078 cheaper one off Amazon...

    3 New 04 Yamaha YDX Moro 07 Special Editions

    Its a starting point. I think personally the rear shock could use more rebound dampening, but my Shock Pump sucks, leaks, so I ordered a decent one. It arrived but I'm on the road for work and may not ride this weekend. Ill report progress once mine is setup to my satisfaction.

    3 New 04 Yamaha YDX Moro 07 Special Editions

    Download the Rockshox App on your Phone and start there. It needs to be setup by weight and personal preference. There is no one size fits all. Get a shock pump too.

    Moro 07 Bashguard?

    I ordered one of eBay a week ago in Purple and it finally shipped today. I think ICGS-05 will fit, when I posted above it was dark in my garage and I didn't see the mount points. Once installed Ill report back.

    Changes planned for my new Yamaha YDX Moro 07

    Looks a lot more Pinkish than I remember. We were Honda guys but my buddy broke his hip on a 90 CR250 at a Supercross and blamed the suspension/shock and switched brands. Suspension was the weak link in those Roger DeCoster inspired Hondas from 1983 until 1992? The YZs, KXs and RMs had KYB...

    Same photo as my avatar attached, but hopefully better resolution. I added "Jetfuel" headset spacers for bling factor and other items mentioned above. I also bought a Igpsport 630 GPS/Cycling computer off Aliexpress, ebike compatible. You can lay out routes on Trailforks and download them to...

    Moro 07 Bashguard?

    I whacked my Chainring pretty hard last weekend on Rock Garden trail. Nothing was damaged but I suspect it might be a matter of time. Anyone have a recommendation? I don't think an ICGS-05 guard will fit and probably need to use one that bolts to the Chainring?

    Yamaha YDX-Moro 07 Special Edition for $1600

    All good points. Also there are pics of a new Concept Bike that looks really Trick. KYB Upside Down Forks, Slack DH/Enduro Geometry, short chain stays. So they might have a major change coming soon and if publicly announced they'd be stuck with all the current inventory? As long as they are...

    New to the Forum, also bought 3 of these and am also 6'4" and put taller, wider bars and a slightly longer stem on mine (Spank). Also added Ergon GA3 grips and Raceface Chester Pedals, all Purple like the 1991? YZ250 my buddy owned back when we raced MX. I actually really like the stock...

    Yamaha YDX-Moro 07 Special Edition for $1600

    I ordered 2 on a Saturday in early September for the $1699 price, talked to my son and brother-in-law and tried to order 2 more later the same day but the website would no longer process the order. We tried multiple cards and different accounts, no dice. So I think this was an error that was...
