I have them on my 07. I also laid down the bike on the right side, and so far cannot replace broken parts without either going to Europe or buying a brand new rearset ..... as much as I love my Gilles, go with the Sato, if you ever break any parts, you can get them from Sato.

Ray, I had this problem last year. Tucker Rocky completely ignored me. I emailed Gilles and they sent me the replacement parts (just a shift lever and knob) for FREE. Thanks Christian!

 

thanks Ray
I do alot of trackdays so getting parts fast is a big deal for me. On my old bike which was an 04 R1. Had Sato's and can get parts in less then a week when I went down.
wanted to try something new which was why I was looking at the gilles.

what parts did you break on the gilles?

btw: is the shift/brake toe peg plastic? Had half of my sato scrape off after doing some trackdays but they are easy to find and replace.

 

Woodcraft and Vortex the easiest to get parts for but I have heard from others getting parts for the Gilles is a pain in the ass.

 

I'm going to get the Sato's as I couldn't even google Gille parts. whats the point if you can't even get space parts. I think thats going to be the down fall for Gilles.

 

Spare parts should be available from OPP racing in the US. :fact

 

I have a set of gilles tooling for my 05 r1 and love them

 

ok still no one has answered my ?'s
are both the shift & brake toe peg made of plastic or what?

 

for what kind of bike you never mention that.
i might be able to help

 

i can get those gilles for the 07-08 brand new for about 460 shipped and chains adj for about 160 shipped.

just about. if anyone is interested let me know. i can get exhaust cheap but it might take a lil bit.
for example the akra evo2 short can TI with carbon tip FULL SYSTEM for 1850 shipped.

everything for the yamaha R1 07-08

 

OPP is now a good call! Thanks for the update, when I broke mine they did not have. I am ordering this week.

 

Feel off on the Highway. I was trying to downshift and nothing was there, really weird feeling. Maybe I will try to find some sato pegs, they are easier to find. Thanks.

 

thanks to OPP Gilles parts are fast and easy to get for now which was why I ended up getting spare parts sense you never know whats going to happen. Even when I had Sato on my old bike. it ended up taking a week to get the parts in after going down at the track.

 

Not bad. Is it better to call on monday (as they say it is faster) or just order from the website?

My brake lever peg fell off on mine. I ended up having to take off both rearsets and used blue loc-tite on everthing. I also had a problem with the mount bolts coming loose so I did the same with them.

 

I called when I placed my order but if you know what you need, just do it online.
it took s week for the parts to come in but you can always choose 2nd day of overnight if you can't wait

 

I put loc tite on all the mounting bolts. I did not think to put them on the pegs, I will do it now when I put the new one on.

 

Called them and will have a new one Friday. Good place, I wish there was someplace local to me like that.

 

+1 for good customer service at OPP Racing.

David, one of the reps, just spent 10 minutes on the phone entertaining all my tedious questions.

Turns out that they do carry 90-95% of replacement parts that people commonly need.

 

email gilles directly if the impoter doesn't have the parts. make it attention to Christian Mosbach and he'll take care of you. He has gotten a lot of our customers parts on the house or for damn cheap and shipped over very quickly. They realize the hardship with overseas parts and he'll take care of you.

For the rearsets with easy replacement parts it's vortex hands down.

But do they make adjustable rearsets?

 

anyone could show me how to install brake sensor? i looked briefly in the instruction but i have no idea so far how to deal with this

moreover, i have to many screws left and now i'm worried

 

im in the same boat as you i need to figure out the rear brake setup.....as far as the sensor

i have both sides mounted and they both work but the there is no hole to attatche the spring for the rear brake

 

i will send you a photo once i get to the garage - tuesday probably

i dont know where to place that damn brake sensor?
