Hi All

Post by Mark YPVS »

Hi All,

Im Mark and i live in Sunbury (nr Heathrow), At present im riding a Fazer 600 foxeye which will be replaced once the newly purchased R1 5PW project is completed.

I brought the R1 last week which needed work as the previous had bent the valves trying to reshim the engine :o , its not pretty , its dirty, tatty and in bits :oops:

However i am collecting another engine (17000 miles) this Saturday, the whole bike needs stuff so it will be a while before it sees the light of day, so expect lots of questions from me like wheres this go? whats missing etc :lol: :lol:

I have owned an R1(5JJ) before, i brought a new one in 2000 from motorcycle city bedfont and had it for 7 years and regretted selling it :cry:

I will post up some pics of the bike so you can point , laugh and p!ss take :D :D

Mark
