went to the shop to see about my bike today-the mech says he had to order a puller from yamaha to get the flywheel off.(gotta get to shift forks) Its scary as hell to me that they aint got that one just layen around the shop waitin to be used. uh.. ya sell yamis n ya service yamis sup? so now that faith is wavering my engine sits on the mechs desk as he troubleshoots a voltage regulator on a quad. too late to turn back now just hope they get it right n theyll put it under warrenty. missed 3 weeks over that clutch, my bikes been there for 2 weeks so far this tyime n he said it might be 2 more!!! had the engine out thurs. n ordered the puller. crfap ! thats7 weeks total! n a possible 1500.00 bucks!(hopefully not but what can i really do @this point?) Ive always had sumthin for the R1-found myself lookin @ suzuki.com today-man gixxer just dont do it for me gotta be an R1!!! maybe ill trade her in for a 2005 when the time is right.

 

Shoulda bought a honda

 

honda looks pretty good-a red n black RR might be a GOOD thing :YEAH bit heavier than the yami though

 

Don't know how you could have a shop without a flywheel puller. Sounds like My buddy and I have a small business out of his garage and even we have a puller. Good luck man!!!

 

My 02r1 has 10,000 miles and half of it spent on one wheel. No problems yet. I change the oil at least every 1000 miles though. Good luck. Don't convert over to the dark side (suzuki, kaw or honda) young skywalker.

 

Go buy a Honda. Even though I hate the tank feeling of the 1000rr. Man is that thing heavy.

 

I know townline sells alot more cruisers than they do sportbikes-so they probly dont work on em that much n the puller is proly diff. for R1 at least thats what im thinkin. just some scary shiat to think mines the ginny meanwhile my wifes out ridin her kaw AGAIN (proly just to rub it in my face-she even offered to ride me on back!) checked out kaw.com n honda just aint wirkin im stuck on "THE ONE" Its the sexiest-lightest literbike there is IMO-no worries oby wan!

 

Go to a good H-D dealer (not Cummings) and test ride either the new 1203 Lightning or Firebolt if you want light. The new 1203's still only have 5 gears, but they changed the final drive ratio so they can now achieve 160. The Buells have the shortest wheelbases out there - wheelie city, man.

 

How long has Townline been a yammy dealer I don't think it has been more then 5 years. Good luck with that thing and we will see you riding again next year. By the way you are way to hard on your poors bike clutch and gears.
