Hi
I'm Matt AKA Shocking Hocking. 31 from Plymouth and just bought my first R1 (well I pick it up Saturday morn!) I've been riding less than a year and my previous starter bike was a 1999 CBR600FX which has been an awesome first bike but as my first year is nearly up I finally got my poster bike.

Loved motorbikes for as long as I can remember and always been addicted to speed and adrenaline. When I was 17 I owned a Cagiva Roadster and soon upgraded that to a Ltd ed lucky strike Cagiva Mito evo. I had to get a car licence though as I needed it for work. So as you do I got into cars and in the past I have owned 2 honda preludes (one heavily modified), a 400hp R33 skyline GTST and a 370hp torque monster of a BMW 535d. Now currently own a Peugeot Expert Van (oh how times have changed!!) that I currently drive like an eco warrior.

I have a few thing already in my eBay watching listing ready to buy when ready
Power commander 5
Dynojet quick shifter
Exup delete pipe
Some Carbon bits
Rearset
Ohlins steering damper

No doubt this list will grow more and more over time

I have a questions though
The Dynojet quickshiter. I plan on buying the one that links to the PC5. Which shift rod will I need?
Also anyone got a link for the Resistor to put in the EXUP plug?

My R1 is a 2002 5PW 15k miles with a Akro Slip on, Brembo master cylinders, Goodridge lines, steering damper, wavy discs painted the 2004 Rossi colours. ImageImageImageImageImage

Welcome in Matt
Great first post , not that I know about power commanders but just make sure it's the 5 you want & not the 3 ( someone will correct me ;) )
The 5pw should move a tad quicker than the CBR , enjoy ;)

Welcome in mate
You'll struggle to find a 5 for that as most would've bought the 3 still you can get a qs tho, sprint damper you have on is a decent bit of kit the 5pw is pretty planted anyway best upgrade for that imo is a decent shock

Thanks for the welcome.
Looks like my Xmas has came early thanks to mr Tax man. I've been refunded a nice some from a few years back so definitely looking at Exup Delete first. Just need to know exactly what resistor I need as where I'm currently working Maplins is just down the road from me
From what I can gather I need a 10ohm 0.25w resistor. Can anyone clarify this? I've seen the pipe so that'll be bought once I get this nice fat cheque through [emoji12]
