saying hello

Post by bikebad12 »

hi from the scottish borders where the roads are windy and built for a r1,
this is my first, it's a 2001 5jj and it's been quite a sharp learning curve.

Welcome in David
Standard welcome to the carb'd R1's , i don't think i'll need to tell you they go from 0-oh f**k in a hurry , take it easy & learn about the bike & what it does ;)
Those 5jj's are a lovely bike , they share a lot of parts with the 4xv like frame, wheels & engines are similar , things that are different are ECU , bodywork i.e. tank , fairing , seat unit & headlight also the radiator & wiring looms are different .
Make sure you look in the 4xv & 5jj sections .
Check the main 20pin white plug on the wiring loom that sits behind the left hand fairing to make sure its in good order & been greased as these can cause problems , the HT leads can break up when old where the plug cap screws on & cause misfire all you need to do is cut 5-10 mm off the end & screw the cap back on , also DON'T tighten the sump bolt up to 42nm its a lot less more like 15-20nm .
get the service manuals and parts micro fiches for both the 4xv & 5jj downloaded , use the online PDF link & down load the parts manuals from there .
http://www.partzilla.com can be helpful for online parts micro fiches for getting part numbers & checking prices in the states you can then enter the partnumber into O.E.M part search on places like http://www.wemoto.com
enjoy :)

Welcome aboard. I too have a 5jj in red (the fastest colour) and I love it!! Takes some calming but getting there now. Probably the most balanced well engineered bike I have owned, and there has been a few.
I'm sure you'll love yours too.

Maybe he slips a couple of pills into the tank before going for a ride?

Or maybe it's just the phraseology those red r1 riders (fastest-lol) use ;) ;)
