First R1

[spanishdave]

Hi all ... I am based in Spain (Costa Blanca) and have just acquired a 1999 R1 .... unfortunately it has some issues with the engine which I will post here and see if you all can be of help to me. I am really more of a "Car guy" as I have a 65 Shelby GT350 mustang which I have restored from scratch and an AC cobra replica ... but I have branched out now into bikes!

Welcome in Dave
i'm sure you'll love the 4xv , heres a bit of a post i put together for new owners
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 as theyre prices are cheaper or you could try https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/browser/ ... bike/yzfr1
enjoy
and for posting pic's

I will take a pic of the bike tomorrow ... and some pics of the GT350's under the hood.

Also I need to know about rebuilding the carbs ... gasoline coming out of the air bleed on at least 1 carb.
