Thank you everyone for your kind support and advise.

It turns out to be Starter motor and the bEAST is back on where she performs the best

Yes jompy,

I guess you are right. I have kept it stored for almost year or year n half....

But then again, found one for £25.00 plus delivery and getting it by end month. Blackdog Motorcycles being very cooperative and keeping it till I give them part and without any storage costs.

So all in all ...

Morning guys,

It turned out to be burnt starter motor

Quality of Yamaha!!!

I just don't understand, back in time I used to think it's only french machines pack up (no offense)....

Japanese engineering...

Bike has only done 12k miles.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you YoungR1 & AdamR1,

I will keep an eye out for the bits required by the mechanics and will contact you.

Adam, mechanic seems to think its starter motor, solenoid is working fine he says but will be taking out the starter motor to check if any malfunction.

I will feed to him what you ...

Guys bike delivered to garage this morning.

Will keep you updated and I just hope that it's not a major repair

Could be EXUP Servo also.

On my bike its been disconnected but an eliminator not added to rectify its malfunctioning.

Or worse case scenario fuel pump. Looking at the mileage of my bike 12k, fuel pump should malfunction actually. But then again!!

Its been booked in at Blackdogs for Friday.

Guys,

I just remember something else as well.

When I used to switch on the bike with key, the bike used to engage, and then at times it never disengaged, same noise used to carry on...

I then used to start the bike. Most of the times it used to disappear and some times the noise carried on in ...

I was actually trying to figure out what my son may have done that caused this malfunction.

Bike started at a click, i left it running...all I heard was a bike being revved and son coming off the bike. I sat on, and as soon as I pulled the bike it stalled as it was in 1st gear. I brought the bike ...

I have checked the manual and under IGNITION CIRCUIT CUT-OFF SYSTEM, it suggests the following:

"It cuts the running engine when the transmission is in gear and the sidestand is moved down".

In my case, the engine was running, sidestand was down and my son revved the engine engaging the bike in ...

Good evening,

I tried to bump start the bike in 3rd gear and it did not start, not even engine turning.

However, I ran diagnostic and various codes appeared.

d01: 15
d02 & d03: 102
d05: 16
d06: 18
d08: 0.6
d13: 14
d14: 16
d15: 15

Can someone please help me what these are? I am totally oblivious ...

Oh no, my car was running when I jumped and so was the van yesterday!!

Yes not a good idea as per few expert bloggers.

Yesterday too, the AA guy tried to jump start using this van battery whist running and I think if its true what all say then he definitely has damaged it further. The AMP shooted up to 115 when I tried to start.

Thank you,

I will try jump starting in 3rd gear this evening and will give you update.

Much obliged.

Thank you PJC,

Battery I changed from original almost a month back. And below is what the AA mechanic had on report.

"Non starter, starter motor clicks Bar @ 13V.

Drops to 6V cranking.

Suspect starter motor seized

Engine seems to turn over in gear ok".

If I bring my bike in diagnostic ...

Dear friends,

Yesterday I took out bike for a spin and bike started perfectly. Left the bike running on stand and came inside house for literally 2 minutes. When I came back out noticed my son on bike and before I could stop him he revved it.

He by mistake put the bike in gear whist sitting on it ...

Hi guys,

Will Power Commander V for 2012 (Yamaha R1) be remapped to 2007 (Yamaha R1) spec? Or are they build for specific year of bike?

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks PTC, thanks everyone. I have decided not to go for these headers!!

Thanks blackal,

I have asked the seller the part number.

Akrapovic agent said that this is old discontinued model and the mufflers for this model will cost £650 each.

I have put couple of more pics, please have a look and see if it makes a better sense!

Thanks,

BlitzR1

Good day eveyone,

I am new to this amazing forum and have been directed by a very dear friend.

I have bought used Akrapovic header with link pipe which the seller told me was for Yamaha R1 4c8 model (2007-08).

I already have Akrapovic cans and decat on my bike which is 2007 model.

However ...
