Winter mods have been a bit lax - I did get her out in the snow though

Another good run out today, after the addition of ducted intakes - the noise was just unbearable and meant wearing earplugs for all journeys even under the helmet! Panel filter replaced for K&N too, will need a powercommand and mapping at some point...

Still need to tidy up the R1 loom

Gear ratio dropped too - now a 4:1 reduction to the rear axle - about 63mph in 1st gear...

James, What cogs (number of teeth) and what tyres are you running?
Is the car better to drive?
I'm interested in any mods, plus I need to have my power commander re-mapped.
Cheers Martin

52 to a 13 tooth front (hard to get hold of...). Yes much better on normal pull offs - would bog down unless you broke traction before

You wouldn't want one of the new R1 engines as they make about 15bhp less than the rest of the big 4, and less bhp than the version with the normal crank.

B&C say the smallest is 14 tooth. Is that right James?

this is true but the engine wasn't designed to have more bhp, its been designed to have more low and mid range torque and a flatter torque curve with no or little torque inertia.

B & C Express are being alkward about getting the part even though you have bought one James!
Here is an excerpt from the latest email:

"I cannot give you a price for a part that we do not list and never have.
If you give me your friends postcode, I will be able to look on his customer screen to see what he has ordered."

Its always what you want that is difficult to buy, why is that?
They have plenty of the stuff I don't !!!!!

The 309--530-13P is certainly listed as an alternative for the YZF-R1 on the Renthal "Fit your Bike" website.

I've got 2 ordered (one spare) from Renthal via B & C Express.
Apparently Renthal only have 16 left and once they are gone, they are gone.

Thanks James!

I'm absolutely amazed.
B & C quoted 4 weeks delivery on my sprockets.
They have arrived today, 2 days after ordering!
