thanks for the welcome guys , from coventry originally and i really cant wait (seriously) to pick my new toy up , i need to go and set up a photobucket account to upload my photos (seems alot of effort when the pics on my pc) so as soon as i get round to it and start taking pics of my bike (need to strip it and clean it to my standards 1st) il post them . Its the blue/white colour scheme with 17500 miles on the clock , been a biker since i was a child , 1st ever bike was a yz125 and was always out tearing up the fields with it , past my test at 21 and my 1st road bike was gxsr 1100 , had a rgv250 vfr400 r6 and my blade before the r1 which im the most excited about . Always up for a blast (as long as its not raining) so hope to get out with a few of you

if you like hooning around get a steering damper on it if there's not one already fitted & get in the 5jj section loads in there about them

Welcome Kev and congrats on your new purchase, cracking bike the 5jj, just be careful with the gearbox

Jumping out of gear , normally when in second gear, very common fault is 2nd and 5th gear dogs bending.
