Hi, I'm Sam new here and relatively new r1 5jj owner, had it a few months now. Been on the big bikes for a few years so still quite new to that aswell.
I'm from up in Aberdeen - roll on the bestiality jokes [emoji1]
I've got ambitions to get on the track at some point soon, not many near us but I'm interested non the less.
I'm on here for some advice, a bit of banter and to fill the gaping holes in my technical knowledge.

Welcome in mate. Look out on the Knockhill website around May as they normally do a new to track night. I done it last year and loved it that much I booked the next one.

Welcome in Sam
i recon your going to love the 5jj they're a great bike & can be comfortably ridden fast or slow , if like you say your new to big bikes then just take it steady as they can get you in to trouble very quickly although you probably know that already .
heres a few bit's i copy & paste for the 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 "

Old habits die hard mate

Thanks for the welcomes, I've got plenty questions about the bike and I'll get some pics up once I've been somewhere. I'll definitely be checking out knockhill, might get to meet a few of you down there!

4th May new to track night Knockhill. If this is your first time on track go to this, great night with instructors to help. I'll be there again no doubt as you are allowed to do 3 of these nights. I got my suspension set up and tyre pressures checked by the KH guys. Relaxed night with a mixture of road and track bikes.

Welcome in mate, I am 30 mile south of Aberdeen and do a trackday or two. Defo worth doing the starter night but beginners in a session day isn't as bad as you think and always boys willing to give you info. 4 of us from town going to cadwell in may for the forum trackday but that may be a bit too soon for you to join in

Hi Sam and welcome, that's a bit of a slope you're parked on!

I used to love my 5JJ.
