just plumbed up my r1 and ran it for about ten mins,after which the header tanks water was still stone cold,lus the red light came on the clocks with the oil symbol flashing! any ideas?

was the radiator warm?
was the thermostat warm?
were any of the coolant pipes warm?
Have you got the R1 temperature sensor / clocks fitted? what temperature did they say?

don't run it again untill you've found the cause of the oil warning light flashing only takes a short while to cook the cams

sorted the oil warning light,level was just a bit low. seems to be ok now
