Please thank Mr Bodycoat below? (brilliant) i believe he may be the one and the same whom gave me the part number and advise, via FB. Apologies i didn't know you were also part of this community. Invaluable.Guys!! I have some great news....
After I read P-rogers's last post I thought I would try changing the sensor on my bike. His bike is the same model and of very similar age displaying similar symptoms, it had to worth a try.
I decide to be thrifty by a used MAP Yamaha sensor 1WS-82380-00, figuring if the Yamaha wasn't scrapped because it didn't run properly the MAP sensor should be good... I found one on EBay from a 2017 Yamaha XSR700 £23 posted..
I fitted it and I was so pleased with the result! Totally change my bike, just like P-rogers's. It starts well and idles, initially at 1.5 the drop to 1.2 when warm (it did that anyway). It revs well through the lower rev range which I had issues with all the way up to my current limit of 4.5 and slightly beyond.... I can overtake now without fearing for my life! So so much better. It still stalls at the first couple of junctions but when warmed up it seems fine.. it's now a rideable machine. I am back in love with it..
Just an slightly annoying vibration about 4 to 4.5..
Here are my plugs now, remember how black they were before..
Thanks to everyone for their help, it's very much appreciated.
Vernon 240 You were correct.
As you have noted, its changed my bike so much and confidence again through the rev range. it does sometimes cut out slowing down when cold first up, drop the clutch and all good as im going through the gear box anyway. but works so much better. correct it has the green square on it. We're still in lock-down here in Sydney, so haven't been able to get out and have a proper ride and fully check out the rev range etc.

Thank you again, very much appreciated, I'm the FB contact you suggested the Yamaha part to 2 weeks ago. Apologies i wasn't aware you are also apart of this community! Im the new kid!
thanks again for all your help, invaluable. really appreciate your help. this is all new to me, i only purchased the bike early this year without any resurrect (just wanted one) and as you can see found this very helpful site and advise recently.
so sorry if I'm going over old ground with all this, but again appreciate the help. the dealer i bought from is less than helpful and got nothing from them.

No worries, always happy to help where ever I can!
I'm on here, but dont really post much or have a great deal to do with the forum. To be honest Im a member of so many different groups, for different brands, cars and bikes, that Facebook works so much better for me, in that it consolidates all the groups into one format/place.

I have thanked him personally, I've also booked my bike in with him for it's first service. Seems a knowledgeable man who likes the bike. Can't wait to get her back on the road..
P-rogers... stalling when cold and ok when hot , exactly the same as mine.. Hope you're able to get out and enjoy her soon..

Hi Vernon,Definitely possible to make your own.
Here is mine:
View attachment 91352
and here is the stuff I used:
You were very helpful with my bike previously, question and advice from any one really, I've just come back from a 100k ride (Sydney) the bikes only done 900k's and my rocker gasket is leaking and wanted to know how best to take it off and replace, i'll have to make a new one as timing to Aus would be forever, any recommendations as to the best gasket to use? and if it's a difficult fix?
It's a little hard to see but slight split x2 about an inch and half back from the front, and the gasket looks like its eased out a little at the front.
it was leaking onto the header and smoking a lot, and had me quite concerned initially, hopefully its not a difficult fix? i have the ability to laser cut a new one with my workshop? once i trace around it?
any feedback would be much appreciated.
