Removing F1 fuel tank ??

This year I am going to do the full recommissioning lay up procedure. I have not done it before because I've usually used the bike on and off through the winter. So I am following the instructions about removing air filters and squirting oil down the throats, and then removing spark plugs. Interesti...

Re: Popham megameet

OK Thanks for the update.
I'll go and have a look anyway, and may put my F1 on the NOC stand.
Cheers.

Re: F1 Yamaha parts

Thank you Richard , I have looked at numerous FJ900 and other yam indicators and they all differ slightly. As you say the front F1 ones are much shorter so I will keep looking. In addition, I am sure that I have a parts list somewhere ????
Sorry to hear about a fire at your home. That's pretty scarey.

F1 Yamaha parts

Does anyone know for sure which model Yamaha indicators were used on an F1 ?
had an unfortunate incident with mine and I need a new nearside front indicator complete.
I know that there are plenty on E bay, but I cant find one of the exact same pattern.
Cheers all.

Re: F1 Question. Oil and brake master cylinder

Hello Richard, (Tried sending e mail but not sure if it ever went !?!) I have started using the F1 again with the onset of fine weather, and it was the first of my bikes to be awarded an Mot this year ! Apart from a few warm up miles, its first major outing was to Rockingham, for a day with Superbik...

Re: Kempton Park Saturday 25th May 2013 - Southern Classic Bike

I will probably be there as a Norton Owner anyway. However as you know I have an Interplod as well, so is there an Classic police stand at Kempton this time ?
