One is a Tri-colour for $31,000, the other is an "S" for $25,000 Can't understand why you would fork out that amount of cash on a hard to find bike and then sell so quick. Though a friend the Tri-colour seller mentioned the power does not seem to be there. I thought the new Duc had close to...

If its not safe for the track, (and while I respect the speed limits) how can it be safe on the street ?

Picked up 4L Yamalube today at my local dealer for $34.50. Since I dumped the used oil into last years container the price was still on it, $30.50. Possibly the price is due to oil going up, but $4.00 in a year seems a little steep to me. Buyer beware, tis the season.

Turns out the old battery had a dead cell, not bad for sitting in my basement for the winter. One new gel battery later and I am good ($67 plus tax). Thanks Dave

Last ran the bike around 15 Jan for 20 minutes, all systems okay, fired up first time. Battery is fully charged, sounds like the fuel injection is priming when the key is turned, all gauges reading normal. Thumb the starter button and I get a buzzing to the rear left of the battery, (positive...

Should be quiet the contreversy ! http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Noise+Snare+ready+muffle+Calgary+bikers/5702613/story.html

Interesting thread.... I had a nasty get off this summer on Cherhola down at the Gap. Came round a corner way to fast, rode the guard rail, got spat off and trashed the bike (both sides), bent the front rim so bad it would not turn, I remeber chucking my helmet off and trying to get my jacket...

Need complete body work after a nasty get of in NC this summer. I know there are several manufactures, (locally and from China) Can anyone recommend one ? Would like to know which ones to steer clear off Not a race kit, just street body work, close to stock (09 R1) as possible. Thanks Spike66

Has anyone put an R6 front rim on an R1 ? I recently broke my R1 (2009) front rim. After checking the specs (they are the same, except for Rotors) I picked up a used R6 front rim for a good price. It fits no problem. Only difference I can see is the spokes on the R6 rim are slightly thinner...

Looking for a used R1 front rim, 04 and up, black only. Contact info: Home: steveandbonnie@bell.net Work: Martins2@gdls.com

Every 500 km (give or take), I throw on some (supposed) no fling chain lube. Am I over lubing it ? I have seen some folks use WD40 to clean off the old crap and then re-apply lube (cleaning versu lubing). Would be interested in how often othere lube their chain ! Cheers Steve.

I am luckly enough to be on an 09 R1 with the new crank technology and it is nothing like any past 1000 I have (ever) ridden (CBR1000RR last bike). I have also had an older CBR600 (F2) and rode an 08 for a couple of hours down at the Gap last year. I'm 6'1" just under 200 lbs and the R1 is...

Thanks everyone. Off to the Gap at the end of this month so want to get it sorted. looks like the left side of the helmet for now, makes sense as you can turn it on, on the move. Cheers Spike66

Wheres the best place to mount a Gopro camera ? On the helmet I am afraid it will come off with higher speeds ? If mounted on the (sport) bike, where do you put it ? What mounts are you using, is the 3M tape good enough to hold in place. Cheers Spike66

Two seperate accidents, the first Officer was rear ended by a car while escorting a wide load. Second Officer was responding to a call, moving fast, lights flashing etc., when a car pulled out a parking lot and clipped him. No word on charges. GWS to both riders.

Been down twice in 10 years, both times wearing full gear (helmet replaced both times). 1) CBR600F2, dropped it into a corner and hit a patch of gravel, bike slid out from under me and we parted company, slid down the road (20-30 ft), side of my helmet was covered in gravel rash, jacket left...

Dam !, never gave it a second thought (image did not load) Hopefully my R1 will not let me down this year. Cheers

Sorry, not sure what SBFH is ? Put the bike in the back of the truck and brought it home after watching my mates ride for couple more days. As for the recall being silent, when I spoke to the bloke at the service desk, no letter or anything was ever sent out, just if you had an issue it was...

Was not sure which way to go, but that kinda sums it up. Funny, I had a Power Commander III on my RC 51 and thought that was quiet modern, now were on a PC V. Like before I am assuming there are maps to be loaded from various sites. Thanks.

I need a reflash of the ECU on my 09 R1 to save my nuts from being smacked of the tank every time I let of the gas. Any recommendations for a local shop to reflash the ECU, or would I be better of getting a Power Commander or custom tune ? Thanks
