Hi all ... I am based in Spain (Costa Blanca) and have just acquired a 1999 R1 .... unfortunately it has some issues with the engine which I will post here and see if you all can be of help to me. I am really more of a "Car guy" as I have a 65 Shelby GT350 mustang which I have restored from scratch and an AC cobra replica ... but I have branched out now into bikes!

Hi Dave and welcome to the forum mate, post some pics up of the Shelby then

Welcome in Dave
i'm sure you'll love the 4xv , heres a bit of a post i put together for new owners
Those 5jj's are a lovely bike , they share a lot of parts with the 4xv 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

I will take a pic of the bike tomorrow ... and some pics of the GT350's under the hood.

Also I need to know about rebuilding the carbs ... gasoline coming out of the air bleed on at least 1 carb.

Here is a cutie after what I have in my trunk ....
