I know eh, that's what I couldn't figure out! There was no build up of symptoms like running rough or anything, I just go to start it that time and the spark plugs said NO MORE!! I did notice it got worse the longer I ran the bike and the more I gas it throttle....clue #1 I suppose!

Changed the plugs and all is back to normal!!! Super clean and smooth idle, great throttle response and no more stalling! I can't believe fouled plugs would cause such symptoms! Thanks for all the replies and I hope this helps someone else out too! I totally skipped over the basics so now I...

When I had the throttle bodies off I checked the hoses and connections and everything looked good. I'll take another look just in case, vacuum leaks are sometimes really tricky to find! I agree with the misfiring but I don't think the throttle bodies would just become that out of sync to go...

Hey, So I go to the grocery store to pick up some milk, everything is good with no problems at all. I go to start the bike and it sounds like it was misfiring with rough idle/rumbling then dies. Hmm, so I start the bike back up and it idles a bit better but still a bit rough. I managed to limp...

I'm going to get it in writing before I sign any policies, just in case!

So after calling around literally everywhere, I have decided to go with Renata Midura at SF. $306/month at 24 then when I turn 25 in June it switches to $129/month!! OHHH YEAHHH!! Gonna have my bike on the road in a couple weeks. I'm going to have to pay out the 306 for a month and a half...

I called SF to start the policy and they reviewed the quote and now told me $4400 for the year... WTF!! The woman I spoke to the second time was a complete ******* and extremely rude. I was not happy at all. I asked what changed and she said she didn't know. So now it's time to shop some more...

It was TOO loud!! I still have it and it takes 2 mins to change exhausts so maybe when I feel like wearing earplugs I'll put the shorty pipe on and see how it sounds on the road haha Ya it's some kind of car exhaust tip tack welded to a clamp. Looks clean but not my style. I prefer the Delkevic...

Lol thanks Jamie, noted :D http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=348807

Update: I added the build thread/intro I started on the R1 Forums to the first post if anybody wants to see what I did to it over winter.

Great info, I really appreciate that! It definitely gives me a bit of relief to hear that, I knew riders were separated in different classes so it makes sense they do it by skill level. Don't get me wrong, I'm not scared of the bike but I do respect it and will treat it good so it will take care...

Thanks for all the warm welcomes!! I absolutely plan to do atleast 2 track days this summer! I just want to have the basics down before going on the track and getting intimidated. I'll be PMing you for sure Jamie! Haha thanks Kool, I'll try! Ahh kinda makes sense rbjeepthing, it's deff nicer...

Lol just because it has 800hp, doesn't mean you have to use it :) Thank you! Will do!

Thank you! Lol ya couple people have told me that but the ones that know me just told me to keep both wheels on the ground till I get comfortable with it :) Not really, I've been on dirtbikes and a few of my friend's bikes but no real seat time on normal roads.

Hey everyone, My name is Phil and I'm 25. I'm in Borden which is right outside of Barrie. I'm planning on doing a bunch of rides in the GTA because that's where all the riders are! I've always been a car guy and love working on anything with a motor. I finally got to a point where I'm happy...

Ahh my apologies! This is just liability only. The bike isn't worth getting full coverage on, I'm almost going to pay in insurance for this year as I did for the bike itself.

Hey man, I bought a 2002 Yamaha R1 before Christmas and just started shopping around for insurance. I'm going to turn 25 in June, but I can't wait that long so I got quoted $211/month. Full G, no tickets/accidents, never got insurance cancelled or anything. I'm getting my M1 this week so I'm...
