1986 Fzr 400

No, no you don't.

New one won't be much capacity or cost wise though?

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Cost wise I have a whole 30p in my bank!

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Battery off the r1 is physically too big!

 

[eSCHEn]

29 more than me buddy

 

[Tinbasherdan]

I figure that you have money coming in in the near future tho just sat on it and realised how light I was when I started biking, a 400/600 was about all I could manage being 10 stone wet thru, I wasn't man enough for the big thous. Now I'm weighing in at 16 stone, can boss the r1 but the 400 is near enough bottomed out just sitting on it !

 

[ronan]

How does the engine sound ? Sweet ? Any rattles or knocks ?

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Sounds sweet, hasn't even got the usual Yamaha death rattle, all the gears engage smoothly and clutch takes up although I've obviously not been able to give it some stick. It's only got 20k km on the clock so relativley low miles

I feel your pain as I'm in a similar boat

 

[dobbslc]

If it ain't wriggling your not riding it hard enough!

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Oh I can get the r1 wriggling all right

 

[ronan]

Oh I can get the r1 wriggling all right

Don't wriggle it into a ditch, been there , done that.

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Did it on my gixxer, wasn't enjoyable

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Today she got some new bars

 

[Tinbasherdan]

...... And lost the hanging nose fairing.....

 

[Tinbasherdan]

....... Some nice alu spacers to be welded into the handlebar mount turned up today.......

 

[eSCHEn]

This place rocks

 

[Tinbasherdan]

I do however need to locate a milling machine to open up the holes in the bar so I can weld those spacers in
