Thanks for your comment. Dually noted.

yes there are a few in the rebuild series. I think 4 or 5. Thanks for visiting.

They did not fix for free smh such a L

congrats...ride smart and your will have a forever smile.

@@IamLaR1 It's in the garage and I already smiling

I am not sure what you mean by a "crack on the left side". What makes you think you need a new crank shaft and piston? To get a realistic price go to partzilla and look up what you think you need. Heads up, the bike has a lot of single use bolts, so DO NOT try to reuse them (most are aluminum I believe). They will break when you try to re-torque then and then you will be screwed. Also, pretty sure you can still get copies of the R1 manual from the R1 forums and its is there that you can find the steps required to rebuilt your engine and the torque specs for everything. Also, because you have the R1 and not the R1s make sure use do, in fact, get the correct crack and connecting rods/pistons, because that are different. As far as the reason for my bikes failure...I am not sure. The only thing I can think of is that there is a oil seal on the inside of the right engine cover. If that fails somehow, then the #1 piston (which is on the left side of the bike), being furthest away from the oil inlet, will be the first to heat up and fail do to lack of oil.

@@IamLaR1 the piston broke the engine case and came out. It is almost unrecognizable. I am looking for a replacement engine now. Thanks for the video.

We all have different intensions and mentalities. It appears to me that anyone can forever alter their lives path on any bike that goes faster than 30 or so MPH, but thanks for your comment. Be good and be kind...god bless you. Oh and for clarity, the R1 sounds way better then just "cool"...😁

They are certainly special to us R1 owners.

If I recall correctly, it was some where around $1500-$1600. The dang titanium connecting rod itself was near $400 alone. But because of being sold the wrong crank and needing to get it and all the rotating assembly rebalanced, the cost was higher then just the basic parts.

I looked for it also and could not find it on ebay. You might try Partzilla and the Yamaha...sorry bro.

@@IamLaR1 No problem,thanks for responding.

Just thinking about it bro. Once you get the engine off (you will just have to wiggle it off, she will eventually come), you can find a deep socket that fits perfectly in that engine mounting bracket hole/space (the hole where the bracket bolt and spacer goes) then cut the end of it, so it fits into the slots on the top of the "engine mounting spacer". Then you should be good to go with torqueing the spacers, once you get the engine back on the bike.!!

@@IamLaR1 yea that’s was my next move, I think I read it here in your comments that someone mentioned how he cut regular socket 👍

Since My ECU has the Bikeside Harness plugged directly to it and you have to turn the bike on and off to flash it, yes the battery is hooked up on it, and I never really have felt the ECU during the flashing because my bike is fully put together during the flashing.

I think you can but you would have to go to FlashTunes Website to see if they have a flash kit for it. If they dont then you will probably need to have someone do it and they will probably use a power commander.

Unfortunately there are none that I know of. I can do my best to try to help you or you might be able to go to the FT ECU Website and visit their forums.

This is actually my content channel, if you are down to work on progression, no ego, I have actual methods that will help you in an accelerated manner

Hey man, thanks for commenting...I too have no ego. I have found that ego is the destroyer of all relationships, especially that most important one with our good lord. Anyway, I am trying to get faster, but its not that big of a goal. Meeting new people and making new riding buddies will always be more important.

Yah I agree man, I'm always looking for guys to track with. If at anytime you want to come try the Kart track stuff with the 300cc's let me know I'll bring my extra bike.

Yes...I ride in A group but am in the bottom 1/2. I don't try to push it and don't care if I get passed...LOL

Bro, sorry to hear about this...that sucks. If I can be of any help I will for sure. Shoot me an email for any questions. [email protected]

I am not sure if they call it a crossplane or not. I know it is a twin with the cylinders at 70degs but that's the extent of my knowledge 😂😂😂🤷🏼‍♂️. Thanks for watching, god bless.

Bro, what is FTD? Friday???

@I am La FTD is FunTrackDayz. A trackday provider. I'll be coaching with them this year.

@@Jusrr Check...I have ridden with them before. I will look to sign up at one of their TH events then for this season, and congrats on becoming a Coach with them....See you then Bro.

Keep practicing.

Check. My Issues is the trust and believing. Just seat time and pushing it I guess. I love riding and my ego is certainly in check. I dont need to prove anything to anyone, but would like to hit sub 2mins at Thunder Hill. I really appreciate your commenting and trying to help out. God bless.

@@IamLaR1 of course as a biker my self someone who gotten hurt don’t ever feel the need to prove ur self to no one ever. All it takes is wrong one move at the wrong time in one sec all of it can be gone learn at ur own pace it’s okay to make mistake that’s how u become perfect keep it up bro ride safe

Thank you bro.

HAHA...lay it on me. I know it is just a matter of leaning more. I have dragged my knee before, just not all the time and I am okay with that. As stated in the video, once my pace picks up the knee will get lower. Its just I want to get more comfortable at it.

Honestly, I just think mine was a fluke. She has been perfect after the rebuild. I think all 2016s and on had a spacer put in the crank to help reduce possible wear so you should be good. The other thing I have heard is make sure that if your replace the throttle side engine cover that your replace the oil seal that is attached to that cover.

go to the Flashtune Website.

This entire road was pretty awesome. Thank you for commenting.

Yes…the R1 and R1M are exactly the same engine wise. Please be careful however, as the “R1S” has a different crank (I found that shit out by accident) and different connecting rods. The connecting rods on the R1S are steel and not titanium like on the regular R1 and the R1M. Thus, the crank shaft for the R1S has larger counter balancing weights to accommodate the heavier weight of the steel rods. This is assuming you are getting parts for the same year bike as the one you are working on. I do not know if the new bikes use different engine parts, but if you are buying parts for the year of ur bike u should be good.

I got it off of eBay.

Unfortunately I do not think they have any type of manual available. So you have to learn this stuff on your own which kinda sucks. I will help you as much as I can. Is there something specific you are having issues with?

@@IamLaR1 I purchased a map from a tuner and its powerful but its over heating the bike in traffic so I was trying to see how to remedy the problem

Make sure that you are supporting your engine with a jack or even just a bunch of padding, and if you dont have that special tool (I got one for $30 off of ebay if I remember right), you might just have to slowly wiggle it out. If all the engine bolts are out, then the only thing holding the engine to the frame are those pacers, assuming you have taken everything else off the engine that needs to come off. I actually had to wiggle my engine out the 1st time because I did not have the tool originally.

Thank you for the input, and you are correct about the music being too loud...sorry. The bike is super comfortable compared to my R1. Different bikes for different uses. I am certainly looking forward to doing some longer rides. Thank you for watching.

Haha, i still think that shit was comedy. Thanks for the ride and sorry I had to cut out early. Happy spouse, happy house. If she will ever get enough courage to ride with us then time away on long rides will not be an issue. In a few weekends the Napa valley is going to be unbelievably gorgeous with the Fall colors, that's going to be a great ride.

@@IamLaR1 let's gooooooo!

2009 Yamaha R1.

@@IamLaR1 whoa! Must have been difficult to learn on such a fast bike.

@@slimfit767...honestly, it wasn't that bad because I don't ride like a knuckle head. I spent a lot of time riding in the parking lot just trying to get comfortable. I did end up crashing her a few years after I started riding, but not because I was riding like an asshat. I took my eyes off the road going into a corner and then target fixated.

@@IamLaR1 ok man,good to know.

In all honesty this is was probably my 9th or 10th track day, but this one was the one I feel I got the most out of. They are were awesome, but this one I was finally able to feel like I was braking under control, thanks to Mo's tips. Now I feel like my improvement going forward will be a lot better. Thanks again for commenting...it means a lot.

Man, I really appreciate your thoughtful comment. Rebuilding this girl was an awesome experience. I actually feel pretty blessed that I had an opportunity to take on the challenge. I learned a lot and now I know that if something goes wrong, I have a pretty good chance of being able to fix it. I bet your MT sounds awesome with that Yosh. Good for you brother.

@@IamLaR1 It sounds great with yosh alpha, especially with db killer out! Safe riding and GREAT job again.

Right. That would be awesome, and for it to be about 15 mins away.

@@IamLaR1 lol

Roger that bro. Hope all is well.

I am sure u notice all the little things I am doing wrong😂😂. If I can see them, you certainly can. The one thing you probably can't see is the difference in confidence you provided to me in the braking zone. It is gonna take me a while to get the timing down now on corner entry, considering I now feel more in control and can slow down better, but that's a good problem to have. I know I have a long way to go and am truly hopeful that we can somehow find a way to be at the track again on the same day. Until then, be good bro... La

@@IamLaR1 We'll talk scheduling soon and make it a point to get a day in for improvement. To be honest, you have a solid base to build on. Your body positioning is correct and brake/throttle applications are smooth! It's always best to have those established first, as many riders (myself included) make or have made the mistake of adding those fundamentals after speed instead of prior to. And it's never so easy to teach new tricks behind bad habits... so you are going the right direction at the right time. I look forward to seeing you out there next season, and always a pleasure to help a fellow Yamaha guy 😉

Bro...thank you so much for the compliment my man...it means a lot. I know I have a long way to go, but I am really hoping I can make some headway, now that I think I might have a little easier time in the braking zone. It is funning you mentioned "right handers" because, for whatever reason, I have always been a little more comfortable going right then left, though that has kinda balanced out a little now that I am using my eyes a little better. Please keep posting your races man...I am enjoying the view and trying to learn as much as I can from ya. Be safe man... La

Hey man, thank you so much for your comment and your input. I have only had, I believe 9 track days, and I ride very conservative on the street, so I would say ... I am not too experienced, especially going fast leaned over. I really appreciate the tip on SImon. I have seen a ton of his videos, but most of his tips probably went right over my head. I need to go back thru them with an intend to learn vs just for entertainment. BTW, thank you for watching to the end of my video and seeing my pics of my BP. At this stage, my BP is the one thing I can practice on consistently HaHa. I think, with the help of Mo, that my corner entry is going to get a lot better, so really focusing on hitting those Apexes (which I don't do very often LOL) and developing bigger balls to take corners a little faster is my next real choir. Be good and be kind brother. I will be watching your channel. God speed. La
