Thanks guys I'll take a picture of what's there when I get back from work. I haven't changed the bearings. I've had new tyres and noticed that the bra…login to view the rest of this post

That spacer pictured is supposed to go in that hole but there's nothing to keep it in place and I don't know if that's normal?

If I put this spacer in as pictured, it just falls straight through. This doesn't happen on YouTube videos that I'm watching. If it's OK (putting it i…login to view the rest of this post

Any suggestions for a neat and tidy tail tidy? I'm just scanning ebay and nothing really appeals to me but then again it's just full of Chinese ones. …login to view the rest of this post

Are the tank covers any good that come with the aftermarket fairing kits? Are they solid enough?

Noted! I shall take heed!

Is the heat shielding supposed to be visible under the the decat pipe under tray?

Yes you're right there! With a maintenance/trickle charger on it starts no problem!
Thanks

Yep they're stamped "Yamaha"

Yes I'll definitely look into it, I think I'll take some panels off and see what's what. Engine management light is saying exup. Great thanks I'll ask him. I'm sure I've seen the manual on here to download so I'll do that too.

Hello again! I decided to go for a 4c8. Only 9700 miles but a few things to do like consumables etc. I've only had it for a day and found that it wasn't easy to start. I'll have to investigate. Looking forward to using the forum!

I've also donated for the greaterrrr good

Haha yeah OK! Yes as soon as I get the ball rolling I'll create a new project thread

Thanks for the info! I'll check them out, I'm a red and white guy.. Saying that.. Has anyone had red/white '98 colours done on theirs? Just an idea but don't know if will look daft haha.
Tell me more about Spondon, do they specialise in a service or do they have frames etc for sale already?

Thanks for the info! No one has ever broke it down like that. The Americans on YouTube seem to talk about themselves more instead of the bike so thanks!
Yes it is and "it's the best one they have done." Lots of bracing and an original R7 swing arm too.

Hi there! I've been given an amazing opportunity to buy a R1/7 kit from a good friend of mine with a few parts more to source but this is long term and will keep me happy for a while. Information is very limited as spondon and Chesterfield CMC didn't make many and are often confused with Harris and ...

You could always start a newbie post with a bit about yourself so we can get to know you if you fancied it

Yes I'll do that now
