its probably the carburettor jets or settings.

Hi Adrian.
Yes it' probably.....
But take a glance at the carburetor gaskets, on the top, mixer oil and rubber collector (between cylinder and carburetor).
All must to be sealed! No air must to be sucked!

Hi Adrian.
Can you investigate if temperature gauge it's damaged or, maybe, connection cable it's broken?
I think that I can find a brand new right part of your bike cockpit (with temperature gauge). Please tell me more!

hi marco

hope you are well

can you please help me source/purchase 2 items for my R1?

i require a gear selector shaft oil seal and a plastic swing arm/chain guard as marked in my picture(off your bike)

many thanks adrian

Hi

maybe you can see what is printed on the outer side of the sealring.
Style aa x bb x c
aa is the inner diameter, bb the outer. c is the thickness.
With this three numbers you may visit your local shop for roller bearnings. The usually will also sell sealings.
Or have a look for a internet shop for bearings.

A source for the swingarm guard may be Bob Wright or Gottfied Hahne at www.hahne-power.de here in germany.
Another solution is to weld the worn out parts with similar plastics.
Maybe this can be done by yourself. If you have the tools and exactly the same kind of plastics.
Good luck

ciao joachim

hi joachim

thanks for the suggestions ill email bob wright next week.

regards adrian

Hi adrian!

I've this spare part: chain slide, Gilera code 941015.
It's quite new, but plastic it's a little old and hard.
If you want I can sent to you this spare part.
Just shipping costs.

About gear selector shaft oil seal, I think to have it too.....
Tell me more.

Have a nice day!

Marco
