Nice horn! I saw a chrome one similar like yours. i was in doubt to place one on the side close to the side mirror but hesitated...
I was reconsidering a gps tracker but couldn't find a place to hide one.

This afternoon took the tR1ke and Mrs Edwinwl out for a ride in the polder. (country roads)
With new more open radiator mesh the water stays cooler:
Country roads: 73 Deg C.
City road: 85 Deg C.

good to see the new mesh solved the overheating issue.

Last weekend my oil warning light lit.
When heating up, after the thermostat opens and before the engine really is warmed up.
After a few minutes the light went off. You all can imagine, I am not in the mood for crashing my engine.
Checked the Yamaha manual and internet: The Oil sensor is an oil level sensor, not an oil pressure sensor.
The sensor is known for being very sensitive.
The manual explains that during hard acceleration, braking, climbing and descending the warning light can light up.
Of course: frequent level checks of all liquids does no harm.

Panic over then Edwin,
The early R1 motor does use a little oil so I think you might keep a check on the sight glass in future.
It is a good idea to slightly over fill with oil to the top of the sight glass to be sure the oil pickup is bellow the oil level when cornering.

More fixing to the nose cone. Down below brackets, left and right. M6 bolts. At the side by the headlights. M8 bolts Made a fixing point by an aluminum bracket and a M8 rivnut at both sides.  My TR1ke is getting more worn in. Touch, feel and handling of the tR1ke is getting more and more smoother. Also the driver is more familiar with handling the tR1ke. Love driving it, addicted to the powerspins while accelerating. Standard front suspension is too soft. The nose cone is scraping the tarmac now and then. (considering hyperpro springs at the front) Easy to drive smooth on the narrow d!ke roads in the near by Alblasserwaard region. ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alblasserwaard) |

My list of items left to do: - Choke lever has come loose, fix it again.
- Fit a fire extinguisher.
- Better fixing for my sat nav.
- Cleaning up rear wiring.
- Perhaps LED daylight running lights.
- Perhaps Hyperpro springs at the front as well.
- Painting all blue parts into some flashy color.

Hmm I have to hurry up with Hyperpro front springs or I have to order a new nose cone as well.
Standard springs are absolutely too weak.
Anyone sharing the same findings?
