I can't believe how unbroken that bike is after the crash it had! Whatever bits you have left over, just sweep em into the corner of titanium/carbon leftovers in your shed Marshy.
It should be noted that this isn't Plumb's bike... This is Marshy's latest auction to track bike build!!

You kept that bloody quiet Nick!
So how is the no sleep going, and working on your new toy until 4am
Great work mate

Thanks fellas. This one is for selling, not for keeping - I love my Aprilias waaaay too much to be going back to Yamahahaha (or any non-BEARS, non-cross-entry bike).
But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't looking forward to doing some fast laps on it!!! ARDC, if the planets align.

Only got it yesterday afternoon! It came pre-disassembled.... partly from the insurance assessment, presumably, but it also looks very much like it was being carefully disassembled to drop the motor. Gearbox recall, maybe? Your guess is as good as mine. It's only had a minor slide on the left. Hardly any damage at all. A couple of scrapes on the stator cover, a broken clipon and lever, and a broken footpeg. Oh, and some light rash on the front wheel.

Looks good,
That's the issue with the late model R1s limited entry options

Very nice Nick, be interesting to know what you think when you give it a run.
Someone is bound to ask sooner or later, not thinking of anyone particular, but would you swap for a 2015 BMW S1000rr $$$?

It lives! Well, the dash lights up anyway. It's not quite reassembled enough to start. 8k kms, and all highway/freeway kms too, because the rear tyre is flat in the middle and not worn on the edges. And besides, it's waaaay too clean to have done 8k city kms.
Spotted some more bling too:

Love that dash, hot tip switch it to white background and it's much easer to read. Well I find anyway.

INTERESTING. Owen mentioned you picked one of these up. Looks like it'll be a bit of fun putting it together.

do a burnout
Does anyone else think Mr Yamahahaha intended the cat to be removed on the new R1?
Ti headers, but SS mid-pipe and cat/collector, and not one-piece but easy to separate without grinding etc. Tops. Dan Moto mid-pipe arrived in record time. Nice workmanship on these things (although not so much with their mufflers, in my experience).
Fitted some blingy bits too

Engine covers.... Are you looking at a test tomorrow?
You prob already know but if you make it GP shift you'll need to tap the hole in the gear lever not just spin the connection.
I didn't ...![]()

Yep, same as the '15 BMW. I haven't quite got that far yet.
I'm not even gonna bother going to the track tomorrow. It's only money, and I don't want to crash either bike. Wet practice is ok, but cold, windy, torrential downpour isn't riding weather, imho. Maybe I'm just getting old!!

Damb. Unfortunately I've seen a few of those this weekend. Strata sort it out? Insurance for damaged items ?

At least the trailer floor is above the water level ... or did it get higher? You got somewhere else to park it where it's safe? Welcome to use my place if you're up for the long drive.
Yet another East Coast Low insurance claim ... try and push strata management to get the claim in there early because the accessors are going to be farkin busy, if you get in there at the end of the queue it could take 6 months to sort out. Take lots of photies!!!
Some tasty 520 sprockets.....

Nice bit of kit!! Does the front sprocket nut have a wee crimp to it??

So, with all the Aprilia action recently, WeR1 has been feeling a little unloved. She needed some zorst gaskets and nuts, as they were nowhere to be found. New filters too (oil and air).
The rear wheel is straight and true, but the front was a bit weird.... it span dead straight on the balancer, but still didn't feel quite right. Checked out the bearings and they were almost completely locked up. Very very hard to get them to move, and when I did they were notchy. Ordered some from Yamaha, but it turns out they are a new size and not in stock in Australia. I pulled them out tonight to measure them to search for replacements, only to discover that they were fine! The front wheel nut had been done up to roughly 7,000 newtons, and had squeezed the bearings onto the internal spacer, and they couldn't move. Don't overtighten your front axles, peeps.
Having found 6 out of the 8 exhaust nuts, and with new gaskets, it was time to get the radiator and oil cooler in position, and get the exhaust mounted. After taking the exhaust on and off countless times (I'd forgotten how fiddly Jap bikes can be) to get the various little brackets mounted to the motor, and to run the water pipes in and out of the headers etc etc, it's all finally taking shape!! It's ready for oil, and almost ready for water too.

Woohooo!! Looking great mate. That exhaust is looking great!
Does the front wheel run well now? Might you have found the cause of the crash??
