Just a big hi to you all, been busy working and servicing my new ride RSV1000R 2001 MODEL.
Sold my honda blackbird so i could get some cash for xmas and buy a cheaper bike,times are hard.I dont have a car was traveling 60 miles a day six days week,so the bird was the ideal tool.Now i have a local job i can push bike to work, not great money but better hours only 2 miles away and no weekends to work.
Got a great deal on matt black 2001 rsv1000r only 14000 miles,long mot and tax,paddock front rear stands,solo and twin subframe, opti 3, blueflame tri and standard,all for £2000.To be honest when i first took it for a spin i thought i had done the wrong thing.
Put the blueflame on changed oil,filter,re-oiled and cleaned k+n,put good plugs in and changed gearing for 16/44 then took it to fusebox (griff) to have co and syrnc done.starting to really like it now,roll on summer.
wouldnt mind air box mod and powercommander if can save enough up for summer,fusebox couldnt change the co .My bike is fitted with a none standard chip,griff opened the ecu box to see what chip it was,but its unmarked ,so no idea there.
Nice to hear that these bikes be good for 60k plus,bike tappets were done 3 years ago but its only covered 1200 miles in last 3 years,so dont no if i should worry about getting them checked again.
