The "New" Bike
The bike I've just won on Ebay, I'll soon be looking for advice on R1 misfires once I've collected it.

Re: The "New" Bike
A few more problems to sort before we get to the misfire. 
Main one being no clutch to speak of.
It's got some sort of hydraulic system, non original, which just doesn't have enough movement to move lever at clutch cover.
Would an R1 originally have had a cable operated clutch?

Re: The "New" Bike
Got a clutch of sorts now, as you say a lot of messing to get it right, hope it's still there tomorrow
The other worry is that it will "build up" with use and I'll end up with a slipping clutch.
May look at putting it back to cable.
