Its my first yam

Post by iandunn1100ss »

Hi guys picked up my 08 plate red and white r1 last week.What can i say the bike is flapping mad.Spent many hours going through the whole bike with all the panels off as i like things that go this fast to be spot on.It came with many nices bits and i have added a puig screen and many bolts from pro bolt and a r&g rad guard.Here it is.

Soiunds good! :D

I left mine with the exup/cat in, but added long velocity stacks for midrange.

I think mine was over 175 bhp at the wheel, can't remember the torque figure though.

I had bought a pair of the 6-pot calipers, with the intention of getting the appropriate fork bottoms - but went for the Ohlins forks instead.

They're a bit rapid (rabid? :shock: ) eh? :D

They look to be the standard wheels..............

More "Mariachi" than "Marchesini" :D
