Get a multi meter on the two or three wires out of the stator. I fought an issue with that ybr for months, turned out one winding was dead, so whilst it was producing the right voltage out to the battery and electrical system, it wasn't producing enough amps (the two wires were maxed out capacity to make up the voltage short fall it that makes sense). Made it really tricky and really expensive (genuine yam stat is over £250 I think)

I thought about one of them or the hardtail Sinnis but in the end I got the 250 Virago. At 6'3 I'm pretty sure I look gangly AF but at least it was only £700!
I am a total small bike convert. Top speed for me is around 75-80mph but that allows me to cruise along motorway and the accelaration is plenty for b road thrashing.
