i have not noticed the glitch on my 07 r1 as yet.my bike is an import ( im going to check with the dealer to see if it is a USA import .the USA imports are the only bikes that are having the problem it seems .and it is a problem and a serious problem .so serious my bike will be dropped off at the dealers if it is effected .Yamaha are denying the problem exists and are calling it a characteristic of the bike.NO not good enough ,the problem is if the throttle is nailed at 5,500rpm there is a major dead spot before the bike picks up ( approx 4 secs ).it is an emmissions problem that is behind the glitch from what i have found out ,which explains the only bikes effected being the USA AND CANADA bikes.i bought my bike from KJM Superbike at Wigan UK .Anybody know anymore ? ,i will follow this up after i have been out on the bike next.

cheers dave ,il try that out and get back .thanks a lot for your help.gaz

iv only done 200 miles on my 07 R1 and it could be too early to say .im not happy with the stiffer suspension setup when compared to the previous R1s ( iv owned 5 previous models ).the bike is turning slow ( could be the tyres ) and the rear is far too stiff.im 13.5 stone ,so not light aswell.i have a very rough idea on setup but i know its very easy to do it all wrong ,especially when there is 7 different places to alter the setup .the obvious one to do first would be the rear rebound i think .what are other riders doing to their 07 R1s ? i ride on the road and i ride fast ,so i need to get it setup as good as i can.if i can get it the same setup as my old 05 R1 which was just right for me in standard setup then il be really happy. basicly thats what im aiming for.
