New Tmax topbox

Post by MrGrumpy »

Any other Tmax mk6 owners got the Yamaha accessory topbox? Something to check....

Went to set off today, but couldn't get the locking flap on the topbox to locate properly, leaving the flap proud of the box. Of course, I'm not an engineer, but I could see that the metal rod on the lock wasn't fitting into its slot, because the silly little metal plate it's attached to had come unscrewed (sorry hard to describe if you are a numpty). This plate is secured to the box by a tiny little philips (or other crosshead) screw. Can't believe that an important bit is secured by one tiny screw! It was too small to be rescrewed by a normal sized screwdriver (and access isn't easy), so I had to find a watchmaker's screwdriver to do it up, but I guess there is a limit to the torque you can put through one of those. Always thought the Yam box was a poor design.

And after that, one of the handlebar muffs needed resecuring, so rather like BR, my departure was delayed this morning!!!
