UNIQUE ONE OFF 1999 YAMAHA YZF 1000R THUNDERACE PEARL WHITE

FOR SALE IS MY THUNDERACE THAT HAS BEEN LOVINGLY REBUILT AT A COST OF OVER £10. 00 NOW. I HAVE LOTS OF RECEIPTS

THE LIST OF PARTS IS REALLY ENDLESS BUT I WILL LIST AS MUCH AS I CAN

THE BIKE WAS STRIPPED BACK TO NOTHING AND THE FRAME POWDERCOATED IN ELECTRIC BLUE

FROM HERE IT STARTED TO GET EXPENSIVE AS I FOUND MORE AND MORE THAT NEEDED DOING

IT HAD A ENGINE REBUILD. NEW VALVES PISTONS. RODS HONED BARRELS ECT ECT

BRAKES REBUILT

FULL AKRAPOVIC EXHAUST

CUSTOM MADE WILBERS REAR SHOCK

MCT SUSPENSION MADE THE FRONT SPRINGS

META CAT 1 ALARM AND IMMOBILISER

530 CHAIN AND SPROKET CONVERSION

FULL 3 STAGE RE-SPRAY IN A PEARLESCENT WHITE. TOOK A WHILE TO FIND THE RIGHT COLOUR AS I DIDN'T WANT A WHITE PEARL THAT WENT CREAM FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES

WHEELS POWDERCOATED IN A HONDA PEARL BLUE METALLIC

FORKS POWDERCOATED

NEW BRIDGESTONE TYRES

PLUS LOADS OF NEW BITS LIKE BEARINGS BOLTS ECT ECT AS IT WAS PUT BACK TOGETHER. IVE MISSED LOADS IM SURE.

SO WHAT AN AMAZING BIKE I HAD BUILT AND HAD 1000 BRILLIANT MILES ON IT BEFORE DISASTER WITH THE ENGINE. STARTED BURNING A LITRE OF OIL IN 100 MILES.   BACK TO THE GARAGE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT FUEL WASH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. SO IN WITH NEW PISTONS. RINGS BARRELS AND BACK TO THE DYNO AND WAS RUNNING FAR TO RICH SO IT HAD A COMPLETE CARB REBUILD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOW RUNNING PERFECTLY AND IT IS TO A POINT THE POWER IS GREAT AND INSTANT WITHOUT ANY HESITATIONS. BUT!

IT HAS A PROBLEM THAT DEVELOPED ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DYNO. IT CUTS OUT WHEN WARM AND RESTARTS ON CHOKE THEN FINE FOR A LITTLE WHILE THEN DOES IT AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE FUEL PUMP ALMOST CERTAINLY. THIS CAN EITHER BE REBULIT CHEAPLY OR CHANGED. IF NOT THE ONLY OTHER POSSIBILITY IS THE COILS.

SO THE BIKE HAS IN EFFECT ONLY DONE ABOUT 50 MILES ON A REBUILT ENGINE AND JUST NEEDS THIS SORTING AND RUNNING IN.

THE TOTAL MILEAGE IS AROUND 23. 00 BUT HAS BEEN REBULIT FROM GROUND UP.

I LOVE THIS BIKE. ITS SO QUICK AND THE HANDLING HAS TO BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED BUT TIME AND FUNDS MEANS I CAN NO LONGER PUT ANY MORE MONEY INTO IT EVEN IF IT IS ONLY A COUPLE OF HUNDRED POUNDS.

SOMEONE REALLY IS GOING TO GET A BARGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF THOUSAND POUNDS. IT GETS ATTENTION EVERYWHERE IT HAS BEEN.

I MAY BE INTERESTED IN A PX WITHIN EBAY RULES. WHY?

TO BE COLLECTED FROM IPSWICH SUFFOLK

IT ISN'T TAXED BUT CAN BE RIDDEN AWAY IF YOU SORT THE TAX BUT IF GOING ANY DISTANCE I WOULD RECOMMEND A TRAILER/VAN BECAUSE OF THE FUEL ISSUE. NO TEST RIDES UNLESS I HAVE THE CASH IN MY HAND. AND I WON'T BE GIVING THIS AWAY AS I KNOW ITS AN EASY FIX AND IV'E PUT TOO MUCH INTO THIS BIKE. IT'S IN VERY GOOD CONDITION BUT THERE IS THE ODD MARK HERE AND THERE.
