Hi folks,

I have just joined the forum this morning.

I live in Cornwall and ride a 5jj model R1. Its a bit of a tarts handbag to be honest as its my second bike. I've ridden R1's and R6's for the last 12 years and decided to settle on the older carb model for the looks but will be changing the engine and upgrading suspension internals to move performance up to modern standards.

Hopefully catch up with a few of you guys for a ride out or track day next year.

Tom

hi m8

Welcome in Tom, enjoy the forum. We love pics, especially tarts

Welcome in Tom
Some lovely roads round cornwal & some bloody scary ones too
Jen & i like to stay in Tintagel or marazion , beautiful part of the country
If your going to be modding 5jj or for that matter the R6 any chance of you starting a projects thread for each bike with plenty of pic's please buddy , we love a good project !
to help you along the the different sections for each bike should have workshop manuals & parts micro fiche so you can check what parts the engines share also
http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/y ... 00-00.html and http://brp.powersportsofgreenville.com/ ... 4638-00-00 are good for checking part numbers .

Borgs-link-o-rama is good for early R1 info , hover your cuser over where it says "link section" just watch out for that annoying add pop up they've got hovering over the page

Hi mate welcome

Welcome in Tom

Hi tom,

Welcome to the forum mate, beautiful roads in Cornwall, my favourite portreath to hayle and then st ives to st just.

Where a outs are you, my parents used to live in Illugan ... My dad is buried in the church there, only brought mum up north cos she can't look after herself and going back to Cornwall every other week became impossible. Must admit I miss Cornwall.

Great roads great surfing

Hi guys,

Thanks for the welcome messages.

I will start a thread when I start ripping the R1 to bits and log all the works I do.

Tom

Hi Tom and welcome to the no1 Forum for all things yamaha, we do get track days organised and get group discount on bookings so keep your eyes open for them when they get posted fella.
Try and get a few pics up of your bikes as we all like pics on here even if it is naked r1 minus fairings, tut tut mind in the gutter

Welcome in chap, sounds like an interesting project! Did you mean you're upgrading the engine? Or the one fitted is a shitter?

The fitted engine is fine. I've only done a 5 mile test ride then a track day at Mallory but it pulls hard enough to shake the front end and loosen up the rear. It has 40k miles on it though so I suspect it burns a bit f oil but not done enough miles to know. Cases are all clean and no scrapes so probably ok. I rebuilt one as a project a few years ago and it was a waste of time as the engine was perfect when I opened it up.

I am upgrading to a 4XV engine that's been rebuilt, blue printed, polished, raised compression and strengthened 2nd and 6th gears. Once the engine is run in I will fit new jets and get it dyno'd. It was dyno'd last year and certified 152 at the crank and 125 at the back wheel. My target is 150 at the back wheel.

I love the look of the older bikes but want the performance or the newer ones. When I done Mallory in July we stayed overnight for a few beers and I just kept looking at it and smiling even though I was slower than when I done the same track on a new R6 2 years ago. You know you got the right bike for you when that happens.

sounds cracking buddy , sounds like you have the 4xv bug . . . . . bad lol

Mallory is a nice track tom.... My claim to fame is I was the 100th rider to fall at edwinas after they pit the chicane in..... Never did Mallory fur 5 years cos of that, went back and thought what the hell was bothering me, it's a wonderful track.

Glad you are liking your 4xv

Come on Tom get some pics posted, curious how clean she is.

Mallory, yep like Steve crashed at Edwinas whilst racing in 2003, its a nice little place for a 600, it small and hectic for a thou

125 at the wheel is a tad low for standard let alone with work done?

It hasnt had any work done.

if its 152 at the crank it should be 130-135 at the rear wheel

Cheers. My guess is a slipping clutch or knackered chain but irrelevant as they are being replaced anyway.

I've obviously read this incorrectly?
Blue printed, polished, raised compression......
