If thers are any other unfortunate dudes out there, who have had a similar problem with a Yam R1, I would appreciate a post to let me know how wide spread the problem is. Cheers Yambudzz

By the looks of things its a fab site for info, help and interesting discussion. Ive already posted an article for u guys n gals as my Yam R1 has lost all compression on cylinder number 3 n was wanting info.. So if u can help plz read Thanx

Can anyone HELP!! I have a 2008 Yamaha YZF R1 with 6K on the clock and it began a series of loud clicks at low revs on the right-hand side of the engine. After a while it began to misfire and also had a bogged down engine when cold. Now it has a total loss of compression on cylinder 3. I now have the bike in a Yamaha dealers to have the prob investigated..... but my question is.... has anyone else with the same bike had a similar problem?? I did read on a post that a guy who was touring in India with an R1 had the same problem and Yamaha UK flew the parts out so the bike could be sorted. Thanx
