Hello GSXR to R1 convert
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 12:26 pm
Hi Guys
Newbie here - been a GSXR man most of my life but this year I've gone to the Yamaha side. Have a FZS1000 road bike and have just purchased a 4C8 R1 red and white.
Sorry no pics at the moment but she's totally standard. I'm currently in the process of building her as a track bike, there probably will be loads of questions if that's ok.
Plan is:
Track body work
Suspension re-worked by Actiforce Racing
De-Cat
Send off the ECU to Velox for a re-flash
Race kit on original mufflers - maybe
Brembo RCS master cylinder
Braided Lines
Rearsets
Put some iridium plugs in
Install my HM quickshifter
Go 1 down/1up on the gearing or possibly 2 up
Bit to do and hopefully as parts turn up i'll be finished by the end of the month. I'll take pics along the way and start a thread on the build. Still trying to source second hand parts at the moment, i'll put up a topic on the wanted forum.
Has anyone installed the A&R race kit on the original exhausts and had them noise tested at a track day?
Secondly, I've been spoilt with access to spark plugs on GSXR's. From what I understand you need to unmount the radiator and access the plugs from the front. Is this pretty straight forward. Just thinking about fitting the HM loom and room to do it.
Cheers and Hi Guys
