Hi all,

Just bought a 5jj R1 in blue, thought I'd best join this forum.

its my first litre so still getting used to the power but I love it already! Not sure what else people want to know, so if there is anything just ask.

Bob

Welcome to the club Bob! You'll get used to the inmates quickly enough!

Pic will appear in due course, I don't have any yet.

I've had a licence for 2 years, first bike was a daytona 675, sold it last year to a friend then I bought a cbr600rr race bike to track, had a bit of cash laying around in the last few weeks so I bought an R1 (ebay number was 261790024119 if you want to see it)

I'm 29, male, enjoy long walks on the beach and open fires. My turn ons include manners, punctuality and long division.

Welcome to the forum Bob .... Cilla ere

Long division....... You will fit right in, I too love numbers crap at spellin though but good wiv the old numbers

Manners cost nothing and I believe yiu should always be polite in life and treat others like you would like to be treated yiurself...... Because of this the gits Nick named me CILLA

Also punctuality is also important.

Sadly, to the rest of the motly crew on ere those words don't exist in their voulcabuary ..... Voulcadbury .....Vocabulary.... Told you I ain't any good with words .

Anyway, welcome to the mad house oh and lovley bike

[Bob]

2nd ride and the thing has broken down.... Battery is now dead too.

Not great

[pod]

Not good. Any ideas ?

[R1Clarky]

Describe symptoms somebody may have suffered the same & recognise a fix

Recovered now... Mcn insurance also included breakdown recovery!!!

Erm when i rolled off the throttle it suddenly cut out then wouldn't start after a few really loud backfires I got it going only for it to cut out again 5 minutes late in the same situation. Ran the battery flat trying to start it.

Bike hasn't been used through winter and that's only the second time I've been on it. Thinking maybe shitty fuel? Manky carbs? was also thinking fuel pump as it cut out when I was idling so there was no fuel being pulled through

Still in love with the bike, the power is ridiculous

That must feel like you've moved to the other side of the world?! Yeh that would be rad, as long as I can get the thing working!

[Steve R1]

I use the Silkolene stuff and it works. Good luck Bob hope you get it sorted

[Bob]

Nice one geezers, I will get onto it asap. Doubt it'll be a massive fix

I've pulled the fuel tap out the tank ( bloody dead spider on the filter ) , drained the carb & so far so good. , bloody thumpers . . . . . The rear light wouldn't work & the head light & clock lights kept going off ! Interesting ride home

Hi Bib and welcome to the forum fella.
Sorry to hear the woes your having with the R1, i would suggest you give it a good nut n bolt clean through and change all fluids.
Grease at grease points and unplug all wire connectors/plugs and use a good water resistant spray after cleaning contacts and then replace
