As riding is now just about out of the question due to the state of the roads, gonna do a few bits before spring.

Mines an 03 model RSV-R

Need new tyres, front discs and pads, when I got the bike I fitted a 16 tooth front sprocket. I read on here that I should up the rear from a 42 to 44 tooth rear sprocket. :dunno What are the advantages of this and will my 108 link chain still fit :confused

Also got a new YTX14-BS battery on the way and a new Yamaha solenoid from Wemoto, that should sort the starting problems. Cheers for the info guys :thumbup

Also want to get the airbox conversion kit :biggrin

Blimey this lots gonna set me back about £800.00

I'm running a 16-tooth front and just fitted a 44 rear - made it a bit more spritely. Chain half worn when fitted but still plenty of slack.

As 303 said changing the rear sprocket will liven up the bike, if I can be of asistance with any of the parts let me know.
Cheers

Iv'e got a Pc3 and carbon swing arm protectors to fit before the start of the silly season, can't wait to try the Pc3 out in anger.

I must be the only guy who does not get on with the 16/44 sprockets.

I've tried 17/42 (stock), 16/42, 16/44 and prefer by far the 16/42 for road. With the 16/44 I was always changing up the gears.

Just a personal thing but the 16/44 reminded me a little of an Jap IL4.

16/44 is the best compromise for your 03, a std chain will fit... just... and gives you a nice short wheelbase!!.The gearing will mean a top speed of about 165
