hello all

just a little bit about bike history,been riding since 2004 had a few different bikes,scooters over the years gsxr,R1,R6,gilers runner,fireblade,zx6r,more...anyway settled for a low mileage 2002 R1 5pw standard apart from polished rims and crash bobbins,looking to do a few modifications,so thought i would join this forum and learn some


oh yer and im north east uk

[Luke03R1]

Welcome in Rob Nice choice of R1 there gets some pics up what sort of mods are you thinking of?

[yamyam38]

thanks pal heres a pic of her

[yamyam38]

mods i was thinking of-

power commander
yoshi exhaust
de-cat pipe
either mini indicators or clear lenses to replace stock
tail tidy * maybe *

not sure what else yet

[yamyam38]

i also got told by a pal that these are one of the best R1's going but have no idea why?? lol

[Luke03R1]

thanks pal heres a pic of her

She looks good rob and in the fastest colour to I see its got a double bubble, front braids, and r&g bobbins next I'd go for a exhaust and get that massive standard off, pillion seat cover (hard to find second hand), might have some gold pazzo's but i'll have to check fitment, depending on how hard you push a steering damper might be a good idea

EDIT your mate is correct

Decat is in the standard can

<<<i thought with it having the exup valve that i had to change the cat??

thanks oh yer forgot about the double bubble and front braids lol,steering damper would be a very good idea,when you say pillion seat cover do you mean cowl?
and yes let me know on them gold pazzo's

thank you

[Luke03R1]

No you just swap the end can cat is in it (adding a link pipe obviously) mine ran very rich so had a pc3 and remap which worked wonders, I would get the later pc3 usb as i've had a few issues with the earlier model

Yes cowl if you find one cheep enough seem pretty rare though or you could plumb for a slanty copy

+1 on the steering damper. Is the rear hugger standard silver? Was toying with spraying mine red. Nice bike though mate. Do the polished rims need maintaining? Oh and a tail tidy is a must!

yes pal rear hugger is standard silver,i would say the polished rims need maintaining,tried to clean mine earlier but they seem a bit blotchy if that makes sense (if rims were standard i would of just left them as they were)
