Welcome in Jon-Bob . . . . . . . .. or is that Jon-Kate ( sorry BlackAdder reference )
Nice 4xv mate , Once you've replaced the fan temp switch you going to replace the 17.5 pilot jets with 15's if it's not already been done

Re: Another Newbie Saying Hello
Welcome, your bike looks good. Great to see a red and white 4xv that's not original! When you get a chance, it would be interesting to hear what mods you've done.

Horus - Cheers buddy, already found out about the old Accord temp sender trick which I didn’t know so that’s number one on the to-do list lol wanna see what else I don’t know about these bikes too lol
Cheers Jompy, honestly right, I’m not sure what jets the bike has (it came with some funky dynojet kit when I bought it) but it rides absolutely 100% perfectly and I absolutely don’t want to change how perfect it rides lol, might have 15s in already lol
Cheers R1Clarky! She’s a bloody good bike
Thanks Moise, I love the colour scheme too, like you say it’s nice to see one looking a bit different to all the standard looks lol - yeah I will man, that’s a cool idea, gonna put a post up to help resolve a little issue I have first then I’ll get something like that done!

Re: Another Newbie Saying Hello
Welcome jonnyboy, I’m originally from Northampton but lived in West Midlands for many many years, so just got a stupid accent now. But I got an R1 and that makes up for my daft brummie/Northampton accent I’m sure
