New to this forum, a 98 4XV owner here from Northants, UK. Just had the old bike fully rebuild and had the old second gear issue sorted absolutely love the bike so it's worth every penny I've put into it since owning it! Here for some advice with bits and pieces with the bike, I know there's some good information in this forum so here for tips, tricks and advice
Welcome in Jon-Bob . . . . . . . .. or is that Jon-Kate ( sorry BlackAdder reference )
Nice 4xv mate , Once you've replaced the fan temp switch you going to replace the 17.5 pilot jets with 15's if it's not already been done
Welcome, your bike looks good. Great to see a red and white 4xv that's not original! When you get a chance, it would be interesting to hear what mods you've done.

Horus - Cheers buddy, already found out about the old Accord temp sender trick which I didn’t know so that’s number one on the to-do list lol wanna see what else I don’t know about these bikes too lol
Cheers Jompy, honestly right, I’m not sure what jets the bike has (it came with some funky dynojet kit when I bought it) but it rides absolutely 100% perfectly and I absolutely don’t want to change how perfect it rides lol, might have 15s in already lol
Cheers R1Clarky! She’s a bloody good bike
Thanks Moise, I love the colour scheme too, like you say it’s nice to see one looking a bit different to all the standard looks lol - yeah I will man, that’s a cool idea, gonna put a post up to help resolve a little issue I have first then I’ll get something like that done!

Welcome jonnyboy, I’m originally from Northampton but lived in West Midlands for many many years, so just got a stupid accent now. But I got an R1 and that makes up for my daft brummie/Northampton accent I’m sure
