New boy

Post by Unclebock »

Morning, never done the forum thing before, but think it'll be helpful since I'm on my 3rd yam and won't be changing any time soon.

Welcome to the forum Chris, as Bub says tell us about your biking history and post up some pics of your bike, we love pics on here. This is a bat forum, any questions just ask, the guys are really helpful and knowledgable.

To post pics, follow the link below

So welcome

Welcome in Chris
The thing with forums is to join in and you'll get more out , try not to take anything to heart as its very easy to take things the wrong way & on a forum arguments can last forever :doh:

Was looking to see what levers fit that model. Cheaper search on eBay if they come of an old R6 or fazer etc

Not had it on the track yet, had a bad year financialy so bought this after I had to sell my good r1. Things are picking up again and I'm very happy with how well it rides. Looking forward to see how it holds up against my mates bikes. Do you have standard sprockets on? I'm thinking of adding +2 teeth to the rear? What you think? Any advice is appreciated mate.
