R1 noob

Post by Ruster »

Hi all, recently just decided I need an R1 in my life so I got a 2002 with 13000 miles on the clock. It's been fantastic so far but has developed what appears to be a common fault with no definitive cure so figured joining a forum would be a good step to getting some much needed help

Hi Ruster and welcome - some good lads on here and at least one girl with plenty of knowledge to help you out if they can.

Is your bike a Carbed bike a 5JJ or the later fuel injected one?

I'm sure I will, already had a few people weigh in with advice and sparkplugs seem like a good start even though they are fairly new so will try that first
