I have a virgin mobile rep r1, which was painted in 2000 by pro art. But if i was you, i would do it in more modern colours, i.e. the camel colours, fiat colours, 50th anniversary valencia or my fav would be in the fortuna colours. Loads to chose from and sticker kits are cheap enough. Tont

its always worth it in the end......... 99 R1 £4000 race paint work £800 race tuned engine + head £1000 khlein flat slide carbs £1200 ohlins forks, shock steering damper £3700 ap racing calipers and rotors £1200 wsb spec swingarm £500 magnesium rims £1700 triple clamp yokes £800 Quickshifter £400 lots and lots of carbon £500 plus loads more dont want to add it all up......... but every time i wind the throttle......... it really is worth it.........

Hi, Theres someone usually selling non adjustable universal fitting Yoshimura Rear sets on ebay.co.uk fairly cheap, and you can buy or make or get made, some adjustable jack up plates. That would prob be the best bet imo. Hope that helps Steve

Have you tried the ear on the screwdriver trick yet??

a mate of a mate, got pulled over by the police a few years ago, and the orificer said " Do you know why i have pulled you over ??" and the kid said "is it because i havent got any insurance??" what an idiot. lmao The best i've found to say to the police is............. "Why dont you go and catch some proper criminals" (They love that one) lol

Isnt it illegal to park that close to a junction???

Hi and welcome, and nice 1st bike........ I have also have 99 4xv r1, its my 2nd, had a duke for my first but was really underpowered. Anyway enjoy your stay here, Tont

Hi mate, Not sure that they are specific fonts, you may have to re-create them, i can send you the yamaha text, and i might have the thunderace text somewhere, but havent got the other 2. Not too much help again. lol Steve

You can try doing a search on the MSN Groups, found quite a few on there before. Hope that helps Steve

Hi Matt, and welcome to the site, im new myself. Crash Bungs are definately a good idea, and can save a lot of money if the unfortunate does happen. As to the Double bubble screen, its personal preference i think, i put one on my R1, helped when riding fast, you could just tuck in, but took it off after a day, as it really spoilt the look of the bike. First thing put a nice exhaust on if you havent got one already.!!!!!! And good choice in bike as well m8. Steve

and then clip it back on................lol.........

Thanks, And welcome to the site to you as well. lol

Sorry yeah was a typo, supposed to be 018 hp........ ha ha ha (and its a 99)

Well done m8, and you definately wont regret it, had mine for a year, and never selling her..........

Thanks for the welcome m8

Was gonna silver too........ too late........ as usual......... Anyway any pics of them now done???

I had power 2cts on my 98 R1 (180hp) and they are a really good tyre, i did a track day on them and really held up well, and got about 3000+miles out of them (fast road), and i would DEFINATELY recommend them. Ive just put Pilot Race on her now, and they are a LOT hairy in not perfect conditions, but AWESOME in the dry.......

Hi, Just roaming about and found this site, and seen as i own a yam, thought it might be a good idea to join. Ive got a 1999 Yamaha R1, ill post some pics up soon. I live in the midlands, UK, so quite local to some nice roads. Hopefully doing some more trackdays next season. Soon be posting some questions about advice etc. lol. Thanks Steve excuse the photos, done on my camera phone.
