Post by R1_13 »

Hi, I'm Al

Recently picked up a track R1 which i'm hoping to "un" track!

nice to meet you all.

Rightly or wrongly i'll be customizing a lot of it, and selling off some bits (wheels with slicks, and race fairings for example) to buy more bits!

My first jobs are to "undo" the simplified wiring and get the immo working - quite keen on an immo having had a few things saved in the past!

The ignition barrel is taped up under the seat
1341

and the main switch wiring here!
1342

Welcome to the forum Alastair, and as Jompy says.... good luck with returning your rave bike back to a road bike. Those 5vy’s are a cracking R1

Welcome

Stephen
