Welcome to the forum, but it is pretty quiet these days.
I'm trying to buy a mint 4c8 from someone I know, but he can't decide whether to sell it!

Re: starting problem - code 19
Good idea, I already have a spare ignitor and will order the relay next time I buy some parts.

Re: spare engine donor FZ1000 fuel starvation
Does it cut out on all 4 at the same time? If so, then it's likely to be electrical, as the carbs won't all run out of fuel together.

I don't know what Yamaha did to the motor, but the FZ1000 doesn't go as well as the 4xv / 5jj. Still a good road bike, but you might miss the power o…login to view the rest of this post

Re: starting problem - code 19
The 4xv uses a different relay. But the good news is that they are $50 from the US!

Re: Kill switch
It's actually not too bad, as long as you're not in a hurry. The freight forwarder I use (myus.com) can ship it for $12 but it will take 2-3 weeks. …login to view the rest of this post

Re: starting problem - code 19
Thanks for that info, I might get one also just in case my occasional starting problems are the relay and not the kill switch.

Re: Another 5EB cracked liner? Hopefully not
A cracked liner usually results in the engine becoming hard to start when hot. What you describe sounds like fuel starvation.

Do you know which linkage it has? The 4xv and 5jj are progressive, but for some reason the 5pw is linear.

Good to hear from you. Yes, definitely ride the R1 more! I did a 450 mile trip in Northland (NZ) last weekend and had great fun.
