First r1

Chuk · Post by **Chuk** » Tue Feb 24, 2015 2:16 pm

Hi all hust bought a 2000 year r1 at the weekend paid what i think is a reasonable price not a bargain but not too cheap either,other current bike 1999 kawasaki zrx1100 retro muscle style bike looking forwards to a tad drier weather to get some miles under my belt,bike is very clean for year and just over 19,000 mls 4 owners must admit got a pleasant surprise at the build qaulity of the bike

almost honda like certainly better than my rex bog standard other than a trioval yoshi endcan. Oopsy should add pics to follow probably this afternoon.

Yes got tapatalk on moby now

Chuk · Post by **Chuk** » Wed Feb 25, 2015 10:43 pm

Phew at last ended up using my moby to get pics up using tapatalk what a dumbass tried using pc but nae gid,did get out first run today couldn't believe how composed the bike was very well sprung previous owner had it set up for him and im the same weight so that helped,wasnt as intimidating as I thought and a lot smoother than expected

I like it always hankered for an r1 but till now other things just took priority happy days.

Thanks guys happy with the r1 impressed with it more than i thought i would be,just a coolant/oil/filter change soon for piece of mind as no service records as such.

i was and still am very impressed with my 4xv , it always puts a smile on my face

if your changing the oil FFS DO NOT i'll repeat DO NOT use the torque setting of 42nm for the sump plug as shown in the service manual & the haynes manual its a country mile out , just do a search on here & read the woe's
