Cars are too damn expensive soo...

01 R1 13k miles
full exhaust
pos undertail kit(hotbodies?)
painted nighthawk black pearl
newer 5 spoke r1 wheels

Looking to get it jetted and dyno tuned soon. Needs a good going through, going to rip it apart this weekend for a tune up and some other stuff.

What a blast!

yes and no. It was run pretty hard that is why i got a deal on it or so i thought. Few cold start issues + hesitation. Plugs were fouled some new plugs(gapped correctly) unlike the ones that were in there and all is well. Had a few kinks in the electrical system also but now it is running great. Ridiculous how powerful these things are.
