I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone that has posted help while I go thru thru my 10 year slump with my 99 R1!. I have had a few issues and I really couldn't of got thru unless you guys were there to help (or sometimes point out how much of a dumbass I am). Overheating, popping out of gear, HID installation, turn signal installation, bodywork and so forth.
At first I was giving up easily and was going to let someone else figure it out, but you guys gave me the confidence to dig in, and offered support or just supervised me as I did it myself.....
Wanted to single out a few gentlemen that really have been there for me, DAVID OF COLORADO and BHeth for helping me get thru my latest service issues.
Met up with DAVID OF COLORADO today and we finally fixed my "popping out of gear issue" he had the tools, the know how and the compassion to "give a shit" even when my unemployed ass had nothing to offer him. That was just great of you DAVID....Thanks so much for taking time. Kudos
BHeth has always been there with advice and helping me thru the manual and giving advice that has pointed me in the right direction. Thanks BHeth for that, I owe you a few.
I am available for you guys anytime, labor, help with your bikes or whatever (except sexual favors)!!!
Thanks to the forum to getting all of us crazy bastages together in one place so we can enjoy our sport together.
It's what the forum is all about right!!! Hells Yeah!
Below are a few pics of the problem, why my R1 would slip out of gear...First pic, look on the bottom near the gasket.....What is that thing lying there?
Second pic, the culprit. David rebent the broken spring just like the original so the bike shifts like new again...I am going to order the OEM spring, but in the meantime she's just like new.
