Hi all
Just graduated from an 08 R6 race bike to an 08 R1 race bike. Should be some fun. Just giving it some TLC at the moment as it hasnt had any in a while. Hoping to download a service manual if anyone has a PDF handy?
Cheers
Wiggy

Cheers buddy, id appreciate it! All i could find free download was the owner manual which isnt worth diddles to me.
Here's some pics of how it looks now and a colour scheme i'm going to try and re-create (in as much as i can with some sand paper and a few spray cans :lol: )

So, i finally got it finished just in time for a trackday on Monday. While it didn't quite turn out like Coddy's bike :lol: , i don't think its bad for a bit of elbow grease, 7 spray cans and alot of time. Wotcha think?
The screen was a well scratched clear DB that i painted until a replacement arrives.

It did a bit alright. I've had a TLR and 06 ZX10 on the road so I had an idea what to expect but when I came out of the first corner and pinned it I was grinning ear to ear, huge difference to the R6. Felt instantly comfy in her too. Had to short shift the b1tch all day to keep her pointing down :lol:
