coxy,
Congrats!!! Great news to hear you got it to fire up.
We're celebrating the 4th of July (our Independence Day) over here......and as always there's always lots of fireworks.

Glad you got some fireworks of your own going!

Good for you Coxy! GTR's are fun and they sure do make a lot of noise. Plus if you get it running good they have a real rush at about 5000 rpm's.
I upload vids to Photobucket and then just link to that from here. I'm sure any photo hosting website can do the same thing.

thanks guys its a great feeling she is idling a little fast though and the clutch crunches grinds slaps and generally makes more noise than a st2 ducati but works fine

The clutch on mine sounds like rocks going through a crusher, apparently completely normal. If you have the carb cover off of that side its even worse.
