Now your problem with the R1 !
1st step is to take off that nice shinny plastic sh!te fairing , wrap it up & stick it in the loft !
2nd step is to flat bar it & then you'll be nice & comfy , the added bounus is you won't scratch that expensive plastic ;)
Dont people just do that after they crash? I thought they were just poor and couldn't afford a replacement...

Rodger it's about £10 for an oem clutch plate & you need 8 & I could be wrong but after my experience I'd change the spring first see if it's still slipping & then change the plates

Yeah they were tuned a bit those if I remember rightly. I've just about sorted the suspension back to more or less stock settings on mine, the chap before me had everything wound in, out and all shaken about and it handled like sh!te. It wants to go round corners now which is a novelty haha! Seen an USD front end for sale on Ebay that I'm imming and ahhing about!
