Fitted an R1 reg/rec after my one died.

Now need to buy a battery to replace the 6 month old one that got killed by the reg/rec. :thumbdown:

Bloody thrashed it senseless.
Sorry, world......

I needed that.

I've fitted the MWR air filter, but this time inside the airbox, lid fitted as (for me) usual.

Remember it's an enlarged airbox, bigger snorkel etc.
Sounds.....different, but runs ok. Not as strong mid range, but top is good, by feel, anyway.

I may even dyno it back to back with the K+N, just to see what's going on.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

From a distance I think the white will look better when the bike is clean.... Hopefully

TPS mod done today. Managed to get it from 884 down to 560 with only have to raise the tank. Waiting for the carb balancing tool to arrive to check the synchronization before I make the decision to b8stard the unit to get it to 500.

Spent three hours making this bush for the clutch lever as the one it should have had was missing :thumbdown:

this polymer bush took me ages sanding it down from a large 50 pence size, had to keep sanding a little then turn then sand a little then turn .. on and on and on and on three hours later it was ready to be tapped in with the mallet, clutch now feels and works as it should have

Thanks potkat for the heads up with that one i would have noticed when i took lever off but he got it before i took it off

Image

Fits perfect and works perfect will do for now

Same here, but now I have got one I wished I had it sooner. It's amazing how much use it's getting. I'm going to trim the bottom off the back yard gate today as it keeps dragging on the floor.
