Hi Chaps,
Just got my first R1, after lots of time on Dukes, Trumpets etc.

It's fantastic, really enjoying it and I hope to meet some of you on rides out.

I have a starting problem, which I'll post in the 4XV section.

Appreciate if you can help,

Cheers.

Welcome in Al try get some pics up if ya can,how does it compare to the Dukes

Welcome in Al
Those 4xv's are a lovely bike , they share a lot of parts with the 5jj like frame, wheels & engines are similar , things that are different are ECU , bodywork i.e. tank , fairing , seat unit & headlight also the radiator & wiring looms are different .
Check the main 20pin white plug on the wiring loom that sits behind the left hand fairing to make sure its in good order & been greased as these can cause problems , the HT leads can break up when old where the plug cap screws on & cause misfire all you need to do is cut 5-10 mm off the end & screw the cap back on , also DON'T tighten the sump bolt up to 42nm its a lot less more like 15-20nm .
get the service manuals and parts micro fiches for both the 4xv & 5jj downloaded , use the online PDF link & down load the parts manuals from there .
http://www.partzilla.com can be helpful for online parts micro fiches for getting part numbers & checking prices in the states you can then enter the partnumber into O.E.M part search on places like http://www.wemoto.com
enjoy

Hi and welcome

Thanks chaps for a great welcome!

It feels smooth, nimble and fast compared to the dukes! It's been a while since I had an inline four, also one with lovely carbs too!

I've checked the large 20 pin connector, a couple of pins were a little green. Cleaning them up unfortunately didn't solve it. I'll try some more of your tips

Cheers, Alan.

Welcome in mate. Enjoy our new toy.

Welcome in Alan - as said get some pics up pal & good luck with the starter button issue (in the good old days you'd have given it a squirt of wd40 )

Hi Chaps,
Such a great welcome, I think I'll stick around here for a while.

Well had a lovely ride today after sorting the starting issue. It was either the large 20 pin connector under the left facia panel, or one of the terminals on the stater relay. I clean both and it's starting great now!

Just need to get the thing on track now, really need to open it up properly.

Such a beautiful bike, you chaps are very lucky.

Cheers, Alan.

Glad u got it sorted buddy
