Also another upgrade I've seen which is worth while is a magnetic sump plug. Found a m14 1.5 plug originally for a fiesta which apparently fits. (Off eBay £5.99).
I may well look into the head light upgrade you speak of as the current one is like a tea candle!
Out of interests mate what sprockets are you running and how are you finding them?
Thanks again.

There's a US site called superbrightleds.com, do a search for the 1157 dual function retrofit bulb. The bulbs get good reviews on advrider. Remember to get a red LED, or it won't light up a true visible red color.
I got a magnetic sump plug from eBay too, but it was way too short compared to the original one. Its still lying somewhere in a drawer. I could have fitted it, but the thread is so short I'd worry tightening it. Next time your changing oil measure the length of the OEM sump plug and get one that matches. Let me me know if you find one.
I'm running stock sprockets 15/44 on stock 21/18 rims. I got a sprocket set and a DID 520 VX chain from kedo.de I did a lot of searching and ended up with Kedo as they were competitively priced and I wanted a shop where I could buy both sprockets and chains at the same time. Kedo is a top site and their catalogue is excellent too. They're Yamaha specialists incl. the TT and XT. I highly recommend them.
I think the stock sprockets are OK for my kind of riding. The bikes grunty enough, it'll pull off in 2nd, and still bearable while cruising at 110-120 km/h.
Check out gearingcommander.com You can enter different sprocket sizes and it'll calculate speed and revs. The TTs values are already in the program.
