hi everyone well I fitted the new "I" basket today, with the skydoc clutch upgrade kit, but a week and half ago tried the motokote additive had done about three runs of about 100-130kms. but had not made any difference to the chirp at that stage, but after a short ride tonight there was a big improvement in the reduction of the chirp of about 80=85%. I rode with the worst case scenerio - open face helmet, windshield, and no earplug, before today it was unbearable to listen to, but tonight I just didn't want to get off, absolutely magic, if it stays like this I will be more than happy a little vegemite, a big thankyou to all that assisted with info and the tips. Happy Easter to all, and ride safe I know that it will be for me Alan:301:

Hi everyone before I order the clutch basket has anyone actually ordered a 4XY-16150-09-00 from the http://www.partshark.com/custompage.asp?pg=yamahaparts and recieved that exact part and being an 'I' clutch basket, sorry about being so particular but adelaide is along way from USA. and like they say in the carpentry world measure twice cut once. thanks, alan

thanks for those replies will also do the clutch spring upgrade as well while I am at it. thanks for the assistance fantastic site/forum and members. cheers alan:301:

Hi everyone or should I say 'g'day' thanks for your replies. 1st off in aussie we only get 2 yr warranty so well out of that, have spent hours reading all the post on the subject, being a retired 'muckanic' just need to get an I basket and can do the work myself. 2nd'ly If you can give me the contact details to get the 'I' basket for around the $175.00 will get straight on to it so long as it is the 4XY-16150-09-00. the bike has only just turned over 21k having purchased it last september with 17k on the clock, the chirp has probably been the reason why I have only done 4k as I could have doubled that without much trouble. nothing on the market to equal this machine, bought a '97 rstclassic in may last year and road it back from melbourne (actually 80km sth of melb.) in the day and was so impressed that I sold that and bought the 06 rstd. having had mostly sport tourers the last being a 06 FJR but could see the licence gathering points anyway, back to the I basket. alan

Hi everyone I have an '06 rstd with the very loud chirp which having tried different oils including amsoil with no success, have approached my dealer about getting an 'I' basket and althought the the 'I' basket number is good that they would have to get it from overseas and would cost around $450-$500. with no guarantee that it would be the 'I' basket, and as been said by some that it didn't fix the chirp. My request is does anyone have an 'I' basket available or can get hold of one and if so how much not including freight that would make it bit more financially better to risk. I read on a post from some time back I think from Kit with 'crickett' that he had the 'I' basket fitted but then fitted another which cured the chirp, was the 2nd basket fitted another 'I' basket? Would be thankfull for any help. Alan (from Adelaide Sth Australia)
