welcome in Chuk.
get used to getting the front wheel in the air on the R1, great toy and lots of mid range power for all the fun stuff

Re: First r1
Good stuff was i was going to use motul semi synth but upon checking some other posts will use silkolene semi or full synth,always used motul 10/40 semi synth on the zrx as good oil and filter deals on it but its just a detuned zzr1100 motor,think the r1 is a bit of a different beast engine wise and worth spending a bit extra on the engne oil.jompy wrote:this is what Geoff put in mine and told me to use
