Welcome in Mark
First of the injection R1's ;) you maybe better off with aftermarket fairings theres some great companies about doing them at around the £400 mark dlivered in your choice of colours , MarkYPVS had a set for his 5pw that he was happy with and a few of the other guys have had them .
post us up some pic's of your bikes past n present we love pic's ;)
get yourself a free photobucket account & follow the idiots guide to posting pics from your pc
posting.php?mode=reply&f=6&t=10659
if you don't want to open a photobucket account then an alternative is go to
http://tinypic.com/

1 - "choose file" and browse to the image you wish to upload from your PC
2 - In the "resize" drop down choose either 15" or 17" screen (15 is enough and fast too)
3 - Press "upload now" where it will ask you to type in a couple of words to confirm you are a human being and not an automated program.
4 - Once done copy the text from the "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" field
5 - Then just paste it exactly as is in to your message.

or you can post direct from your not so smart phone using tapawank (tapatalk) it's great for posting pic's & notifications but wank for viewing the forum ;)

Will try and get some pics when it stops hammering it down. Think it might have a second gear issue as well so could be a busy winter

Best you add your bit to my winter work thread then ;)

A very warm welcome from a very cold Geordie ;) Great bike the 5JJ, loads of lads will help with info. Ever thought of fitting race fairings and fitting an endurance light job on her 8-)

Hmmmm a 5jj :think:
You'll love it ;)
thats not LATE registered thats worse than the septic tanks joining the first & second world wars :doh:


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 :)
