1990 Yamaha FZ 0.6L Petrol · G293 PGC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 13,606 miles passed, it flagged both a noisy exhaust and a corroded rear road spring. These issues mirror advisories from February 2025, indicating that certain components are deteriorating or failing despite previous tests. The recurring nature of the brake issues suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of MOT failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 36-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 378 miles per year. However, the data reveals inconsistencies in usage patterns. There was a significant surge in activity between February 2024 and February 2025, where the bike covered nearly 4,000 miles in just twelve months. Following this period, the vehicle sat stationary for a year before the next test. These long periods of inactivity often correlate with the mechanical and corrosion issues seen in the record, as seals dry out and metal components degrade when not in use over long durations. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension assembly. The record shows a persistent history of front brake binding and lagging, dating back to 2024, which necessitates a thorough check for seized calipers, perished hoses, or faulty master cylinders. The serious fluid leak on the offside shock absorber noted in 2024 and the corrosion on the rear road spring indicate that the structural integrity of the suspension-related components may be compromised. Additionally, verify that the rear wheel spindle locking device and brake lever locking nut identified in the 2025 failure have been properly replaced and torqued to specification.
