Re: Newbie R1 2010
Welcome to the forum Jamie and congratulations on your recent purchase, the bangers are a beautiful bike to ride, I had three over the years, first one was crap but the other two were perfect...
The ackrapovic will sound amazing, best soundtrack ever, had them in all three of mine, I also decatted the bike, you will need to do that if you don’t want your right leg to melt in the winter.... a hot summer and it will evaporate... lol... it’s really not as bad as that but the cat which runs down the right side of the bike, next to your leg does get very hot...
Decatted and with baffles out mine would make 99 to 101 dB which was perfect for a quiet track day [emoji3]and the sound.... music to my ears.... Beethoven couldn’t have done a better job [emoji3]
Re the clutch... I didn’t have any problems with any of mine.
Re the flash or PCV with custom map, these are really needed to smooth the throttle out, I went down the power commander route, but Mike on here sorts out the reflash which does the same but also more
Enjoy your new toy, post up some pics and welcome

...The "welcome" posts tell you exactly what you're getting into, don't they?
There's no such thing as a "normal" biker.
