Hi Everyone,

I've recently purchased a 2010 R1 as you can see below it's all stock at the moment with not much over 2000 kms on the clock. I'm actually from Australia but I'm interested in learning more tips and tricks about the R1. Currently I'm looking to improve the clutch, it seems to grab fairly quickly. I've read that a graves clutch kit is quite good but also that a tune of the bike will improve taking off (so I have been looking into Flash-Tune). In the past I have ridden a GS500F 06 and a CBR1000RR 08 as well as a handful of dirt bikes.

We're always on the verge of winter here :x as for the flash tune see velox racing in the sponsored section a lot of questions have already been ask/answered in there ;) Or alternately pm R1mike as he is the euro supplier of flashtune and one of this sites owners
