Hello,

Thursday night i bought a 2009 R1 with 3500 miles off a good mate of mine.

It's got a full akra titanium system, K&N filter and a few little bits. The usual stuff.

I will be converting it immediately into a track / race bike. It'll be doing multiple trackdays, a few hill climbs and local race events.

I also own a KTM RC8 which i've had since they first came out 10 years ago. I've lost count of how many trackdays i've done with it.

I am at Le Mans for two days in September so am on a time frame to get the bike ready.

I have ordered a full set of track fairing, super corsa pros, service bits, titanium sump plug so it can be wired and a few other bits. I'll also fit a quick shifter.

I'll post a couple of pictures through tapatalk from my phone as it's much quicker.

Look forward to reading everything on here

welcome in dude

Welcome by the way. Loving the 4C8.

Welcoming Tom
There's a few of the lads on here that have had well sorted 14b's including Kyle & Petespassion .
Enjoy the forum and the bike , there's a few do track days on here .

Welcome in Tom, Tracking an sausage, that will cost a fair bit to get it right, many love them so I really hope that is you as well. I and many on here do a good few track days, both UK and foreign, keep a look out on that section of the forum and book with us, once we have all broke you in you will be fine

Welcome in Mate and looking forward to seeing how you get on.

Finally added some pics!

Welcome to the forum.
If you're talking quickshifters, it may be worth getting it flashed and enabling the QS. Then you can fit a QS which just has two wires direct to the ecu...easy
Depending on how far you want to go, you can even get the complete Flastune harness so you can plug in your laptop and fiddle with the ecu yourself...nice bit of kit.

Hi Tom

Brilliant track bike for me, I know this bike, the previous and new owners, see you in Le Mans.

Have fun building it to track spec.

Welcome in, this is an awesome forum that's more family than forum.

Having the FTE system is the way to go. R1Mike from Velox can probably get you setup for a fair price.

Hit up R1Mike, he's the FTE (FlashTune ECU) dealer for U.K. Sweet talk him and he may give you a forum discount. Just don't ask him to put your rear wheel/brake on your bike.
