WHITE R1 4C8

Post by dokez »

Hello, just joined to gather more information on my bike and hopefully theres some locals about (Dartford, Kent)

Can anyone recommend what oil to use and if I need iridium spark plugs / upgrade air filter ?

The bike came with modified stock cans and I believe it has a decat but im not to sure if the bike is mapped, how can I check ?

Hope I get some feedback

Regards

dokez

Here she is. I started on a R125 CBT time, then GSXR600 K4, then a street triple 675, and now an R1 and im over the moon and im glad I chose this over the GSXR1000.


Just needs a service, do you recommend standard air filter or bmc/k&n ?

that look nice & clean :)
air filter is personal preference but if you do put in a bmc or K&N you'll need to clean & re oil it every so offten (unlike me :oops: )
you've had a nice step up on bikes then , they say the street triples are nippier than you think !
have a look through the 4c8 & 14b sections for your answer on iridium plugs ! some say they don't last very long some say they last longer , others say you'll only notice a difference if your on the track .
theres lots of other stuff on here you'll find interesting along with the service manual downloads ;)

Welcome in mate. Nice bike. Standard air filter is fine but you can sometimes pick up a K&N cheaper than the OEM filter.

Hi mate and welcome to the forum, nice looking 4C8, got one myself, not the same colour though :-)
I've got a K&N in mine, has it got a PC3 fitted ?
I've also got iridium plugs fitted in mine, they don't make a huge difference but mine were due for a change so that's what I chose

Welcome in bud nice 4c8 you have there, like the Termigs. Have a look under the riders seat under the lock to see if a PC is fitted, plugs nought wrong with standard, air filter race k&N or race BMC will give a bit more air flow over the Yam one and save you a few quid as time goes buy.
