Sounds like a nightmare Dave but glad it finally turned out ok. Didn't see your R1 at the Ace last night although parking was wall to wall, unless you…login to view the rest of this post

Good choice of stable mate for an R1, looks good. Have owned my KTM since 1999, great fun.

Welcome to the fold.

Nope. The 4xv is fine, so is the Duke but the 3xv is minute. Google the Yamaha 3xv, stangely some cycle parts of the 4xv are shared.

5' 10. Too short for a KTM SMT and too tall for a 3XV.

How about this link, according to the seller they can supply black to order.

Re: The thing that spoilt the KTM was the half one , when I was buying it one of the guys said it was like the KTM on steroids & they weren't wrong , the other problem was me ! I end up riding like a teat through traffic on it ! Only issue with my Duke was a blown seal behind the front sprocket,...

Hi Jompy, Duke is an absolute blast, owned from new, can see why guys love to race them. Real point and squirt machine, two wheeled equivalent of Lotus Elise I imagine, low weight, no frills just top spec original equipment for max grin but don't expect to go touring on it or do economic journeys, M...

Yamaha R1 1998-1999 4XV YZF Service Manual

Hi Jompy,

Many thanks for the useful urls's. I have a Yamaha 4xv workshop manual hardcopy and also softcopy pdf that I bought when the bike arrived, more than pleased to share the pdf if needed (plus 4xv supplement).

Hi Moise, Happy New Year to The Land of the long white cloud where tomorrow comes first. It has a shade under 28000 miles on the clock and I got the standard silencer can with it too. Thanks for the tip re the rejetting,according the last owner the replacement exhaust required no change to the carbu...

Thanks Chiiny. Only 12 months between them but hopefully the R1 will come cleaner over the next few months with some tlc. Incidentally glad I transported it home by van when purchased, travelled back round M25 only to discover a 4cm nail in rear tyre when I washed it. Didn't see that in the advert.

Just dumped a couple in Photobucket to whet the appetite, many thanks guys for the welcome and rapid responses. http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/thump566/media/RONSASUS-2014-10-11143549_zps91920f4f.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://s1380.photobu...

Hi Everyone. Just joined the forum having finally getting an R1 recently. Biking history spans a number of Yamaha twins, odd trail bikes, four cylinder mufti's plus an enduro and a supermoto. The R1 has an aftermarket pipe/silencer which I aim to replace with the standard downpipes/exup arrangement,...
