Picked my 4XV up today and I'm very happy with it. It's the first R1 that I have ridden on the road and I was surprised by the grunt from a 16 year old bike and it feels like it wants to power wheelie in 2nd gear. I'm in love

Enjoy getting to know ur new steed looks like the weather is on ur side

Glad your happy with it buddy , i have 5jj carbs on mine & i'm sure it's those that give it more midrange , you don't notice the 8-9000rpm hit as much but mmmmmm that midrange

I break the odd crashed 4XV or 5JJ from time to time so I might swap the carbs if I get a 5JJ. I need a few bits for this one to get it back to absolutely mint but I shouldn't have much difficulty finding the parts.

out of interest how much would you sell a decent 4xv tank for ?
If you get a set of carbs sat there it'd be worth a try buddy

Why not just rejet the 4xv carbs?

because the jets in both carbs looked the same bud & also if he's breaking bikes he'll have the carbs & can sell them after he's found out if they make any difference or not

Correct I am nothing lost that way.

I normally sell tanks for around £50 but it all depends on the condition and paint job, the last one I had was a non standard colour track bike so although it wasn't damaged it was an odd colour.

i like the sound of £50 as long as it's straight , colour no matter as my bikes a metalic black .
you may have to keep me updated as to when you have a spare at the right price
where abouts roughly are you ?

I don't have any tanks at the moment but I can let you know next time I get a bike. I'm in High Wycombe in Bucks.

Cheers for that buddy , i might need a price with postage if you do post

I've never ridden a TLS but I gather that they are a bit more of a handful than the TLR. I have barely ridden my TL, I'd have to move 3 other bikes to get it out lol.
