Had my 2012 Matte Grey R1 now for about 2 weeks (this colour is now available in the US as a 2013 model) and have already started changing and modifying a few things here and there. Only got 400 kilometres on it at the moment so I haven't had a chance to take it for a "proper" ride yet.

Got lots more parts on the way and look forward to getting it complete ASAP. I wanted this build to be tastefully done using the best quality components available.












Currently has the following parts fitted:
- Akrapovic full Evolution system, titanium headers & Y Pipe with carbon end caps
- OEM Yamaha rear seat cowl
- Belly pan off 50th Anniversary GP edition
- GYTR carbon fibre tank panels
- Evotech pillion footrest removal kit
- Evotech fender eliminator
- Rizoma Action indicators (rear)
- Rizoma Rev rearsets
- Rizoma Sportline grips
- Rizoma bar ends
- Rizoma pick up spools
- Rizoma engine protecters (left and right)
- Rizoma fuel cap
- Rizoma front and rear wheel sliders
- Rizoma oil cap


Parts which I've got but not fitted:
- GYTR frame sliders
- GYTR air filter
- Power Commander 5
- Rizoma front and rear reservoirs (changing when brake lines arrive)




Parts which have been ordered but haven't arrived:
- Clever Wolf carbon front fender
- Clever Wolf carbon rear hugger
- Clever Wolf carbon tank pad (these items have landed in Australia, just waiting to clear customs so should have them this week)
- ASV C5 shorty levers in black
- Spiegler brake lines in carbon/smoke colour front and rear
- Graves smog block off plates
- Galfer wave discs front & rear
- PVM forged alloy wheels 7Y spoke in gloss black (arriving late December / early January depending how PVM go)
- DID ERV3 520 chain & Renthal front sprocket (these will not go on until the new wheels arrive as I will do this in one hit)
- Dunlop Q2 tyres (these will go on with new wheels)
- GYTR carbon airbox cover (available mid January)
- Lightech chain adjusters in black (should be arriving this week)
- Watsen flush mount indicators (order placed but may take a little while as Roger needs to see a 2013 in person to get a perfect colour match)


I'm sure there are some other little bits and pieces I've missed out, can't wait to get all the parts on and start enjoying it. I'm sure once this is complete I will want to do even more further down the track!

I'll keep you updated with photos as some of the goodies arrive.

Looking sexy! So what do you do for a living?

Isn't stock tooth count 17/47? You dropped 2 in the front and 3 in the rear? Let me know how it goes!

Need a flash tune! Let me know if you wanna use mine, for a small fee can flash your Ecu
The gearing change is fantastic, definately makes the bike more rideable and combined with the new wheels you can tell when you flick it from left to right.

Got the bike dyno tuned on Saturday, bike now feels much more crisp throughout the whole rev range.

Took a few photos today now that a few more parts are on the bike.

Just waiting on the Watsen flush mount indicators, Cox radiator guard & the GYTR carbon air box cover which should keep me happy for the time being.

Forgot to ask, any T.C. issues with that gearing at all ?

Thanks all,

Haven't been on here much lately, here is a recent photo. Now has the Watsen flush mounts fitted as well as the Rizoma mirrors.

Got to fit the COX radiator guard then I am just about done... For now. ;)

I'll take a few nice photos over the weekend and post it in the BOTM section!
