    Clutchless shifting???

    Just make sure you take the strain from the engine, off the transmition and it will last. Gearbox's are designed to allow up-shifting. Nearly always up-shift on the R1 and the Fazer from 2nd gear upwards.

    First service!!!

    Well mine was £40 for the standard oil/filter and all things that needed to be greased that they kinda dont do on the production line (brakes/linkages ect). I checked the bike over the day I bought it and you'll be surprised the things that needed adjusting or tightening. The pre-inspection from...
