Hi all,
Just a quick hello to everyone.
I have just bought a 1998 R1, my first yamaha since my XS750 in the eighties,
I am looking to bring this back to original spec and use and cherish it on good days.
It will be added to my stable of:
1991 VFR750 Honda
1991 GL1500 Honda Goldwing
2002 Aprilia Falco SL1000
2010 Sherco 250 trials
2002 GasGas 280 trials

Re: Hi from Scotland
"GORDON's ALIIIVE !!" ( said in my best Brian Blessed voice)
Welcome in Gordon
Pic's we need pic's !
Theres a mountain of knowledge in the 4xv & 5jj sections which will help you & i'm sure you'll enjoy reading .
He's a few tips i post for people new to 4xv's & 5jj's
" Those 4xv's are a lovely bike , they share a lot of parts with the 5jj 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
"get yourself a free photobucket account & follow the idiots guide to posting pics from your pc
posting.php?mode=reply&f=6&t=10659
if you don't want to open a photobucket account then an alternative is go to
http://tinypic.com/
1 - "choose file" and browse to the image you wish to upload from your PC
2 - In the "resize" drop down choose either 15" or 17" screen (15 is enough and fast too)
3 - Press "upload now" where it will ask you to type in a couple of words to confirm you are a human being and not an automated program.
4 - Once done copy the text from the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" field
5 - Then just paste it exactly as is in to your message.
or you can post direct from your not so smart phone using tapawank (tapatalk) it's great for posting pic's & notifications but wank for viewing the forum"
