I've a Baghira Street Moto, buyed in 2005, but should be the 1999 model.
I've to change my
front disk and brakeplates (and also brake pump, seen that Grimeca died after only 18.000km!! And now I'll try to fit an original Yamaha one).
As many Baghira's owners I'm having troubles finding the right parts.. Somebody says front disk should be the same as a
XTZ 660(Supertenere)or
SZR 660, here I red that can fit R1/6 disks...and I'd need also to know which year, because a couple of dealers I asked to told me that there are some differences.. Before spending a lot o money I'd prefere to be sure about it
I would appreciate a lot any indications, so I'll be able to ride soon again my beautiful Baghira on italian streets.
A, a last question: there are big differences between Baghira "normal" and the "Stree moto" version? Again about spare parts..
Thanks!
R1/R6 discs from the late 90s, early 2000s will fit. I bought a three disc set (rear too) from an R6 off ebay for something like $50, so now I have another spare disc too! I want to say the model time frame was something like 1999-2003.
The Baghira came in two models, the "E" enduro, with 21 and 18-inch dirt wheels. The "SM" street moto (and Black Panther) models have 17-inch wheels. Other than a different rear sprocket, kickstand, and speedo drive unit they are the same bike. The E model came in some horrendous rainbow color schemes, the SM seemed to come in calmer themes like red, black (the Black Panther), silver, and yellow. The bike can be easily swapped back and forth from E to SM version..
Spare parts aren't too big a deal. the only "non-replaceable" things are the unique seat and bodywork really. The rest of the stuff is similar to many other bikes, or can just be replaced with similar aftermarket. Mainly you'll need oil, filters, tires, tubes, chain, sprockets, brake pads (and maybe discs..). The Yamaha motor (Noale Italy made?) is pretty bulletproof it seems.
