Hi There
Just finished a 80% restoration on my 02 R1, When I bought it, it was in prity poor condition with being lightly crashed & half street fighter'd & project aborted.
I stripped it back and put it back to production standard with a few tasty mods
There is still a few issues with the bike as follows:
Issue 1:
Radiator cooling fan wont operate at all or when it should @108 deg - Ran power to the fan itself and it works fine, Is this fan operated by a separate fan switch or the ECU ? I removed the sensor wiring loom plug from the sensor at the thermostat housing and bridged it with wire but the fan didn't come on. I have also tried to locate the fuse for this but can locate the fuse box which is apparently ment to be under the seat, Could it be the fan relay ?
Issue 2:
Rear shock absorber is non existent - Will a rear shock from a different year listed below of R1 fit my 5PW model 2002-2003?
R1 Models:
98-99 4XV
00-01 SJJ
04-06 5VY
07-08 4C8
09-14 14B 14BE
Issue 3:
Engine idles too high - Have adjusted the screw already on the left hand side of bike at the frame/fuel tank and the lowest the engine will idle at is now 1300 RPM should be roughly 800 - All vacuum hoses/wiring in tact
Any ideas ?
My bike has 28,000 miles on it & was wondering at what miles or age does a shock usually go at ?
New shock is £900 GBP's - Refurbished shock is £450 - Ebay second hand £80-£300
Worried about buying one of ebay with high mileage on it and its on its way out or worse than mine
Any help on these 2 issues would be appreciated
Thanks Guys
Regards Glenn J
