Re: New R6

R6 didn't last long, I swopped it for an R1. Shame as the R 1 is a bit of a dog, not charging, tank marked, plugs, valves , coils all need doing, radiator is falling apart, but for the tiny bit of riding I've done on it it's got a good engine.

Re: New R6

Just swopped the brake hoses for braided lines. Cleaned the calipers and pads. I think it's still got the original pads in there. Sumitomo pads, I would guess they are sa,me ones as bikes only done 14k. Might have to get new pads as I didn't think they had enough bite. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Re: New R6

Goes well. Now it has air in the tyres and suspension settings standard.

New R6

Was looking for a sports bike to swop for my tourer and along comes a guy with a 5SL. Almost seems to good to be true but the bike seems legit so it's mine now. 2003, Silver, 15,000 miles, power commander, sprint damper, Yamaha racing screen. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170814/9cbcf4e0d362f11...
