Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 USA 2005

Sandro - that is an interesting way to display the bike with the pit tools and tray. Also is that correct to have the fuel tank in carbon? I would think that would be in aluminum as carbon is not very abrasion resistant. Oh! Just so you know - when I was racing superbike's here in the USA we changed the entire chain with the sprockets. Rather than mess with individual links with a sprocket change we had dedicated chains pre-made to length for different rear/front sprocket ratios and then we used to use a "rivet" master link to connect the selected chain/sprockets for each track we went to. Once we had been to a track before we arrived with the correct sprockets/chain already assembled so that getting the bike set up and up to speed was quicker as we did not have to determine the best final drive ratios - still I like your diorama build - John
