R1 Nutter

My 1999 R1 has tghe last 3 days had trouble with its gears. When I try and change up to 3rd, 4th and 5th gears I have to literally kick the lever to change gear and sometimes it takes 2-3 attemps. Then all of a sudden its fine again? I can change down with no problems, and the trouble is when the engine is both cold or warm. I have checked the oil level which is fine and the oil has only bee in there the last 1500 miles and is the right grade. This is an intermitent problem, but more time bad then good. Any ideas? Thanks in advance?

me and a round-a-bout had a little mis-understanding and the is a slight king in the front wheel rim. I'm just wondering what other Yamaha model's front wheels will fit to make it easier to find them on ebay? Any suggestions?

Cool. I called a garage today and they said the same thing. I checked the the right hand fork and its up inside the yoke more by anout 7mm. So will take to them to fix, they said it will be about £20 labour to sort it out. Thanks for the infomation, spot on!

I have a rear wheel lock up yesterday and couldn't stop my R1 on a roundabout before I hit the cerd. I hit it at a slight angle then the front wheel is not pointing in quite the same direction as the handle bars. Its still ridable but a feels a bit strange is this is major problen to fix or an easy one, if so then how?
