Talk about jumping to conclusions... He'd be 6'6 if that was an Australian nickname!

Welcome in mate and congrats on owning the best looking R1!

Welcome in howard
For posting pics . . . .
from your puter , get yourself a free photobucket account & follow the idiots guide (worked for me ;) )
viewtopic.php?f=4&t=144
or you can post direct from your ( not so ) smart phone using tapawank (tapatalk) , its great for posting pics from your moblie and for notifications but fucking annoying when some fucking stupid ginger tosser decides to say hello to every fucking newbie that has posted in the last month and the stupid fucking tw@t does it all the the same fucking hour ! ( and breathhhh )

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 .
Make sure you look in the 4xv & 5jj sections .
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 as theyre prices are cheaper or you could try https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/browser/ ... bike/yzfr1
enjoy :)

Welcome to the forum Stumpy.
Glad you gave an explanation for the name...I was starting to wonder if you had any hands or feet... in which case the R1 would not have been the wisest of choices...maybe a bike without bars and foot pegs would be more suitable.
