so after riding gixxers for two years i got a 04 r1 yesterday. i have a couple of questions
1. what should the cold/hot idle be
2. how do i set and turn on the shift light
3. what are the must have mods for the r1
on my gixxers i had the 04 r1 throttle, tre and k&n plus exhaust,
whats a good slip on for the r1, best sounding , im not really going for preformance, the r1 has plently of power for me.
thanks

1. A good quality slipon exhaust with Y pipe for better performance and cut down under the seat heat.
2. Power commander III
3. Steel braided lines. (big difference)
4. Short adjustable clutch and brake levers. (better feel)
5. Suspension set up to your weight by someone who knows what their doing.

These are a few of the ones that were important to me.

Welcome to the forum and to the world of R1's

word on the street is the stock r1 exhaust can have baffles installesd in the mufflers. anybody does this before? i want a little bit louder sound, ill go after market in a couple months.

A&R baffles.... sound decent

im still getting used to this thing. i just installed a 12v plug for my radar, hid are next 5000k , exhaust eventually. if i do the baffles it would only be a temporary thing until i get slip ons.

I woke up a pro racer. But like I said earlier I have the 12v installed but it doesn't look like there's anywhere to put my escort. On my gixxer I velcroed it to the to of the guage cluster and it worked
Fine. But I don't see
This happening on my r1. Where are some places
You guys have radars? I don't really want to get the triple tree mount thts more of a last resort
