Well I have only had this 3 weeks and its my first winter project for a long time.The plan is a naked streetfighter look, I have only found a couple of issues one of them is damage to the swing arm so thats getting removed and repaired and the exup valve that is now fixed. The bike was in a state but it should be finished and on the road for March?? its going to Spain in April for 10 day tour with my mates.
This is how it looked when I got it
Got my mate to chop a damaged can and pleased with it now
A few more hours in the shed
Nasty damage found where left foot plate has gone into swing arm!
basically divide the larger number by the smaller to give the ratio. The lower the ratio the better the acceleration and less top speed ...and vice versa
Std gearing is 17/47.
I run 16/47 without any clearance issues. It accelerates better and theres no noticable difference at the top coz it doesnt go there any more due to all the cameras about
Also go for 530 pitch instead of the OEM 532
R1's run 530 so the pitch is more than up to the task, plus as its more common a pitch its also alot cheaper
Not really done that much over xmas but got the front sprocket off with ease and started to clean the crap out! Taking shock out and swing arm in a min
Wish I had the same with the twincam. Seem to spend more time making room for my lad to clutter it up again. Managed to at least clear some space over Xmas & get the fuel additive in the bike for the winter
Stig I need a gasket for the front sprocket cover do you know the best place to get one?
