hi everyone, davie here and im another newbie from scotlandshire, bought my 2008 (4c8) R1 a year ago and have managed to cover approx 300 miles since then..scotland remember.. great roads (except renfrewshire )but sh!te weather!!!. bike is pretty much standard apart from full akraprovic exh system, double bubble screen, aftermarket levers and bar grips.
had problems starting it recently and even after charging the battery it struggled to fire, new battery fitted yesterday and fired first time but seem to have lost the lcd display now..any ideas guy?
cheers

welcome to the forum Davie, The Guys will be on here soon and give you some idea's on what could be wrong

Hello mate, welcome to the forum.silly question but have you checked all the fuses

Hi Davie and welcome to the forum mate, as Hammy said start with checking the fuses mate

Welcome in Davie

hi guys..thats on my to do list first thing this mornin..i'll also check ive hooked everything up and not missed anything in my haste.

Hi Davie and welcome to the forum, hope you find the fault ! any pix of your bike ?

Hi mate welcome

Welcome chief. Where abouts in Scotland are u? Usually a fuse blown like the guys say after a batty change.

im in johnstone, fuses are all ok btw..this morning when turned ignition on the tacho worked as normal but no lcd display. now tacho is stuck at 4500 rpm..have disconnectd battery but to no availl..also have checked wiring connectors (near fuse box) was told they sometimes get wet/corroded but they look ok to me. bike runs great.just i dont have a cunts clue wot speed,rpm or distance im doingl. clock was handy too lol

Hi bud,

I don't know if its the same on the 07-08, but on the 04-06 there is a big white connector under the right side ram air scoop that connects the clocks / lights etc to the main loom.

This connector is famous for corroding and causing headlight / LCD display faults.

Welcome in, as others have said its got to be a fuse or wiring somewhere.
Someone else posted a problem recently about their clocks, the rev counter was stuck at 8500rpm I am sure. Cant remember if he got it fixed or not though

That was Kaptaink I think his issue still remains
