SO, as some of you may have seen, the R1 is semi-pending sale. I'm not going to get into details in the public domain, but i've got 6-8 weeks and it may be sold... However, that's REALLY not what i want and a last resort for me, the R1 was bought partly for me as i love this model, but partly for ...

Don't know, but I don't mind driving for right person. What town? Cheers buddy

I love spannering on my bike, the first thing i did when i got the R1 was strip every piece of bodywork off it, wheels out, brake service, etc .... I'…login to view the rest of this post

Just down to the phone camera i'm afraid.

My mate came over on Saturday and was massively impressed after saying "i thought it was some crap red, but that's lovely"

Pity i missed you mate. Obviously as we only picked up the R1 on the Friday i'd not been over here yet etc.


Front wheel was on the wrong side of yukky, so as the socket arrived i whipped it out and gave it a clean. Like the rest of the bike, it came up really nice. Couple of marks/chips from ...

I've just bought a 2nd one for the KTM actually. I had a couple of others but they were loose, flappy and horrible. So went with these as they fit nicely. The garage doubles up as a spinning/cycling room, so i like things out of the way ideally.

Calipers have been stripped and cleaned, pistons, retaining pin, spring plate, calipers themselves and the r-clips, now all looking good. Pads have tonnes of meat on them so all good there too.

Only downside of the day is that i don't see to have a Torx T40 in the right size ratchet setting so can ...

Polishing now completed, still need to whip wheel out and clean that, but all the fairings done, mudguard inside and out done, screen done etc

More messy stuff now after an early start>early finish in the office. If you don't like OCD levels of cleaning, you may as well walk away from the thread.

Sprocket cover, fairings, engine, shock, front of swingarm etc etc. Ideally it would be a removal of the shock, but i don't have the time ...
