New to the forum. Just bought a used 02 r1 with approx 8k on it. She is clean and never been down. Havent got to ride her for more than 5 minutes thanks to winter time. But as always gives me a chance to save up $$.
I did 3 track days last year on my cbr 954 and am admittedly hooked. Looking forward to more at midohio this coming year. I still ride the street often and don't anticipate starting a racing career anytime soon. Here is a list of mods I am going to do but I wanted to see if there was input from the forum on this year of R1 and things I should look for or any recommendations. (my wife is going to kill me if she sees this list $$$ lol) Thanks all and have a happy thanksgiving!

Scotts Steering damper (still need mounting bracket)
Extra set of rims (one for street/one for track)
Racing plastics (preferably hotbodies or sharkskins)
K & N Filter ( or BMC ???)
New oil, springs if necessary and gold valves for front forks
Penske rear shock ???
power commander

02 R1

Thanks. I haven't been here for long but so far the R1 Forum makes the CBR forum look like a female doggy in heat.

Thanks for the help and input everyone. Everything on the bike is mint except for the chain. I am a little worried about the fact that there is little to no chain lube on the rear rim chain side or on the chain guard. Which leads me to think I will be looking at replacing the chain and possibly the sprockets. So I was curious about which chain to buy....typed into the r1 search engine and about a thousands threads!!! once again R1 forum comes through
