Welcome in Dom
That looks a nice 2cr
I hope you enjoy the forum , i've deleted you're other two posts as they're in the wrong section and you'd be much better off posting them in the 2CR section

Hi Dom and welcome to the forum - you will be fine hear you will find we are more of a community than the average forum.

Love you new R1 in stealth black, like the A/R exhaust too

There are other bikes but only 1 R1

Welcome in... I bet thats loud ... not sure about the reflector.. look good in black

Welcome in mate.
They look awesome in black. Enjoy the forum.

Welcome to our biking community Dom, you have a really beautiful R1 and I absolutely love the colour. I believe the side reflectors are now required under EU law but I also believe that it isn’t a sick raptor (illegal) ... sorry my sad sense of humour [emoji52]... to remove them.

Like you I have R1 blood in my veins, and my latest bike is my 6th R1 and 7th Yamaha.... I was a Honda man before that [emoji15]... but I hung up my pipe and slippers and saw the light and moved to Yamaha... a decision I never regretted...

So tell us a bit more about your biking history, what R1’s have you had, what you liked about them, what you changed, and what are your plans for your new toy

We are a friendly and helpful bunch of guys, girls and the odd primate (yes jompy is odd) on here. Welcome

Stephen [emoji3]

And Mark.... much to the disgust of my Honda mates... I didn’t fit the ash tray or skipper rack to the R1.... that got me banned from the CBR Forum... [emoji23]

Seriously though, I had over the years been a major contributor to the Honda forum only to find when I moved to Yamaha it was like... what the F are you going on here now.... not at all like our community here [emoji3]

Thank you all guys much appreciated. I’ve been told reflector looks gay be off soon . Started with 1998 r1 then 2014 r1 then 2009 r1 which I loooooved . Then this tool . Which makes my pants twitch every time .im after some advice about a full akrapovic system over my 3/4 ar system I’m looking at one but not sure ar is loud but I think you can’t be the roar of a akrapovic . Also Ecu flash good or not any advice would be muuuuuch appreciated. Pic of last baby .also we’ve got a guy called seton Tuning any advice on this fella as I live in Colchester.

Nice R1, I do like them in the stealth black.

Seton tuning are good and do an exhaust that is pretty good for track days and doesn't affect the power, they can flash the ECU too, have a look on the website here: http://seton-tuning.co.uk/catalog/yamaha-r1-2015-2018

I have my R1M fitted with FTecu FlashTune and Autotune which auto tunes your bike as you ride, and gives the ability to alter the fuelling in the maps fuel cells to get the bike running sweetly.

Mike on this site runs Velox Racing and has Seaton stuff https://www.veloxracing.com/wp/product- ... race-parts

Plus the FTecu FlashTune and all stuff you need! https://www.veloxracing.com/wp/product- ... 5-2cr-2ks/

Cheers 4 that mate much appreciated

When I picked my bike up Dom, there was another like mine but with a full ackrapovic system on it, I was thinking of getting mine decatted and they advised me against it... asking why they started this other bike up... she was very loud indeed, too loud fir a track day, indeed it hurt my ears[emoji52]...

Now the bangers I had previously were all decatted and would pass a quiet day at Oulton Park , they were loud, but not offensive....

Some of the guys on here have found other systems that provide a good sound without being offensively loud .

So I kept the Accra slip on and cat in mine, sounds ok, not as nice as the banger, but ok
