fletch-r1 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi people im new to yamaha's and this site. my problem is ive just bought a mint 98 r1 in red and white but i think its vibrating more than it should. do r1's vibrate. also its got quite a loud squeeling noise around 7000rpm.ive just had the carbs balanced and changed the chain and sprockets. im used to vtwins so it might be just me.
