No, I just laughed when I read "good luck with your CBT" as it does have another meaning!

CBT???

I went to see the owner today as he had some stuff for me to pick up, including the original exhaust, indicators, pillion seat, etc. There was also a …login to view the rest of this post

I downloaded the online advert so have proof that he stated kms and not miles. I'll call him in the morning when I've calmed down a little. I don't th…login to view the rest of this post

My "new" R1 was finally delivered today. It doesn't have a current WoF, same as the UK MOT, which means I shouldn't ride it except to take it for an i…login to view the rest of this post

If you buy a set of Galfer front rotors from Motomummy in the USA, they'll include the rear for free. $576 plus shipping.

What would you pay in the UK for a 4xv in original condition?

My ZZR1200 had warped rotors when I bought it. On others' recommendations, I bought some made in China Galfer copies, which worked well at first but a…login to view the rest of this post

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/12/dyquretu.jpg Yeah it's aluminium which isn't as hard wearing as steel but is a fair bit lighter. Reading up on it, should still be good for 10000 miles plus........... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HDa I read somewhere that you shouldn't use top quality chains ...

Sounds good to me and no average speed cameras

Yet.

Some great roads here. I'll post some photos.

Moise, you'll be pleased this is bike related !! I've ordered from America some vortex racing sprockets in blue. Standard is 16/43 on my 2003 5pw. After spending a good hour reading up on it, and what the technical aspect will be, I ordered 15/45. Depending on how soon you're thinking of changing y...

Thanks. Thought that would be the case.

Could have had the bike delivered today but there was a misunderstanding between the current owner, myself and the bike transport people. Should be here on Monday now. Anyway, the paddock stands haven't arrived so there wouldn't be much that I could do at the weekend. One job I know needs doing is t...

Sorry to start with an oil question...

The manual says to use 10W-30 but I don't like my chances of finding a 10W-30 suitable for motorcycle use. So…login to view the rest of this post

Welcome to the forum Duncan, The R1 looks clean mate you will have many a great ride on her and wont look back. How noisy is that exhaust thats on it :think: The exhaust is an "Extreme Blaster XB08". Here's a link if you're curious: http://gsxrexhaust.com/index.html" onclick="wi...

OK, so this is like ZZRBikes.com, which has great info on the ZZR1200 and lots of banter. But hopefully without the political rants! Acronyms and US English were a challenge at times. I see you also have Mr Green :mrgreen: I also checked out R1-bikes.com, but when I saw that they had an oil forum, r...

Welcome to the forum Duncan, The R1 looks clean mate you will have many a great ride on her and wont look back. How noisy is that exhaust thats on it :think: Not as noisy as you'd expect. It has a plate over the end and the gases exit through a series of circular slits at the end of the pipe. Never...

"Not if they are organised in NZ gary" (Nowt worse than having to explain a gag) tongue in my cheek steve !!! I feel a bit silly now steve. I meant rideouts or track days over here. Having been to Australia with a 4 hour stopover in Kuala Lumpar, it was 28 hours door to door for £900. Ass...

561 It's in really nice condition for a 15-year old bike, looks like it hasn't been ridden in the wet very often. There's a mark on the fairing from when the previous owner dropped it when he stopped to fill with petrol, and some scratches on the engine cover on the left when he dropped it on the o...

Just bought a 1999 R1 so thought I should join a R1 forum which is in English. I've been riding for over 40 years and also own a Kawi ZZR1200. The R1 will be my first ever Yamaha! The bike isn't quite roadworthy so I'm having it transported, should have it on Friday. It's done 28,000 miles, although...
