OH MY GOD. Can't wait to see this build! You're going to break Owen's heart.

[Ruckos87]

Not 100% sure what's the build will entail. I'll hit nick up for some race glass. Each own fairing on these things is about 4k hence the 26k repair bill. Hopefully flog off some and re coup some $$$.
I'll Prob do rear sets and need to chase up some wet rims, Then I've got about 3days of reading all about it. It's crazy what its supposed to be able to do.

I hope I like it. Haven't ever ridden an R1 as of yet..... Lol

Look, it'll basically be identical to my 2004, i'll let you swap mine, it's already set-up. I'm good like that.

2015/16 R1 the standard and the M are the same. We have them. I haven't listed them on our website yet, but we have them. Any paint design you like, as usual

Cool we'll need to ensure it still looks like the m


I'll start looking at designs

Nice pick up

[Turbo]

OMG OMG!! Nice pickup, Luke!! You're gonna LOVE it!!
Keep us posted as the build progresses. Very keen to hear what changes you make. There is so much already on it
Are you thinking of keeping the electronic suspension?

Yep at this point it'll just get race glass and rear sets. Like I said not even 100% what's it got. Just couldn't pass it up

There's plenty to play with out of the box! I wasn't a massive fan of the stock brakes but a wee chat with Michael Blair and he tells me the first thing they did was rip out the ABS and it now works a treat.
The electronics are HEAPS of fun to play with. Start with them fully dialled in and grab a handfull anywhere!!
You'll probably find it feels and handles smallish like the Aprilia does but with electronics dialled all but out, it's a flippin missile!!
Do you know if it's had the re-call done?

[Ruckos87]

Ahhh ...
Yep recall done.

I hoping it feel small like the ape, was just starting to get used to that

Yes, or a ridiculously powerful R6!!

[Ruckos87]

Just Picked it up. Wow!!! It sounds awesome and the damage is less than I thought.

Looking closer at the damage as far as I can see is.
Right frame slider broken, I'll replace
Scratches to-
right side fairings.
right front break caliper,
front wheel,
engine case saver,
exhaust carbon cover,
And Rear hugger.
None of which I'll replace apart from the case savers and glass.

Just noticed there's no nelly pan on the OEM fairings.... And the read sets have no adjustability, pretty poor for a 30k+ bike

Oh and it'll take me a hr to clean off the statutory right off stickers crap...

Wicked pick up, can't put the jealously into words!!! :P

Roadbikes never have belly pans. They just fill up with gravel and crap much better to be open imo.

Seems like A LOT of effort. The offer is still there to swap with my well set up 04 R1.

Spent a fair bit of time reading this weekend, so much to take in I'll need to re read it again and again. Had a play with Yamaha's on line simulation pretty cool.
http://www.yamahamotorsports.com/spo...index_r1m.html

Installed the data logger in place of the pillion seat. The tires are shot so I'm getting a set of VO2. ( sorry Nick your Cheeper but I felt for the guy in the shop who's had the bike since before new year) who I pestered continually about the assessor and what he might do with it. so I ordered some off him.

I recon I'll run initially with the suspension set to A1 basically set to automatic adjustment for track riding with slicks, adjust a few times a second !!!!
Looking at the manual suspension settings wow!!! So simple to adjust and save different combinations.
The slide control will be interesting I'll dial that out so its only moderately effective, I'm not at the stage of backing it in where I'd need it off. Yet

Race glass design is next, and then I'll see about stripping off some of the road gear before I give it a crack at WP on the 15th.

Excited much !!!! Yes I am

Good call just double checked, no not the gear box. I'll get that done this week.

I don't know about Yamaha... but when Kawasaki had a recall for the ZX6R they took mine and in with race farings and all, no questions asked.

Ditto with the M/C on my GSXR.

I just had to update the documentation with Suzuki Aus that I was the current owner and the fix hadn't been done yet. ( I gave the new M/C to Bombings, I had an RCS already)

[Ruckos87]

Is this the one that went thru the auctions for $14-15k a week or two ago?

There seem to be more and more of them at the track.

Very nice.

Basically ready for a run now, just need some GN crash protection and fit new slicks.
Removed the mirrors, rear fender/ lights pillion pegs, frame sliders and the previous owners Rossi flu-row yellow stickers .
I'll need to tap a thread in the stock gear lever to switch it into GP shift but I'll do that tomorrow

Took it for a quick ride around the workshop drive way, just in 1st gear, position is nice feel small enough that I reccon it'll suit me.
I did notice that it seem to turn far easier than the Aprilia and CBR?? To a point where it felt strange at 1st. Not a bad thing at all, but is this common with the yamahas compared to others? I've not ridden a Yamaha before.

Oh and gave it a wash


yes that's the side that got dropped cleaned up nice.

So the bikes off getting the gear box recall down and I'm playing with the data logger, eventually worked out I need an iPad to run it so that's sorted. Looking at the data Yamaha supply from SMSP has got me thinking about gearing. From the data looks like the test rider was taking T2 in 1st, leading me to believe that the stock gearing as always needs a tweak.

Is anyone running a newer R1? What gearing are you running. I'll most likely order a 520 chain and the standard -1 +2 chuck that on and see how it goes. I'll leave it stock, till after WP.

Here's a few screen shots of the system when looking at a single lap

It's also got the ability to over lap two at a time, seems pretty easy to use in the pits straight after a session



Hers a clip of it in action pretty cool off just an iPad..
