Hi there
Just bought a 2006 ex TT R1 track day bike.
It's got a few nice bits already, TTX rear shock, Sigma slipper, PCIII, full race Arrow system, blah blah.
Going to tidy it a bit, but otherwise it's just a track day hack

Looking forward to getting some advise on bits and pieces for this bike.

Oh, have previously owned a '98 and '07 R1 before my current bike.

Cheers and stay safe guys.

Smack on the back of the legs straight away Phunky.
Where are the pics ?

Welcome in Mark.

She is in bits as I tidy a few bits up.
Wheels are off for powder coating, body work for re-spray, and new pads, brake fluid, oil change, oil & air filters, spark plugs, new tires, etc.
Just want to get her fit so I'm happy, and mine

Will post ASAP, unless you want to see her naked!!

Thanks for the welcomes as well.

Hi mate welcome

Right, here are a few.







I need to order some bits, anyone wanna give some advice?!

1) New front & rear disc bolts. Found a set of titanium recommended on here.
2) Need new front pads. Was thinking Brembo SC pads?
3) Bought new sprockets. Went with 16T/44T I think!
4) Need to change oil. Was going to go 10/40W, but what brand? See amsoil recommended but cant find to buy it in UK. Any recommendadtions?
5) Need new exhaust hangers. The cans are oval circum 327mm. Was quoted £70 ea from arrow!! Any other idea's?
6) Need new tires once the wheels are powder coated. Thinking a set of Racetecs, 190/55 rear.

I think thats it for now

As for biking history, well! Got off a TZR125 when I was 18. Got my '98 R1 when I was 29. Nothing like a baptisum by fire! Went to a new '07 R1 and really liked that bike. But after a few years I wanted something a bit more exotic. Looked at a 848 but ended up buying the RSV4.



I worry tracking this though as a mate highsided his R and it cost him £2k to fix! I think the cost of repair of the RSV is holding me back, hence the R1

nice pics, i am sure ive seen you on track , i recognise that r1

Welcome in mate.

Nice pair of bikes there mate! Really like the RSV4

The guy who had it before me said he only did track days at Brands, so you might have seen it there.
I am questioning if it is a 2006 now though! As didn't the 04/05 have the gold front suspension, and the 06 have black?

Welcome to the forum mark, I think the colour of the forks in 06 depended on the colour of the bike.

Great pics and a good looking bike. As you have guessed loads of good humoured banter on here and someone will always be able to offer help and advice, they are a great bunch of peeps on here

Brands being my second home it must have been there

For those interested I have started a project log.

It's ere innit!
