2017 GSX-R1000 S2B: Episode 6 (Part 2) - The Devil Is In The Details (Oil Change)

[@exothermal.sprocket]

204 whp and 92 ft-lb. Stock bike weighs 441. Subtract about 14 pounds for full system, another 5 pounds for lithium battery, drop 8 pounds for CF rear wheel/rotor/sprocket, 5 pounds for CF front wheel/rotors, and 1 pound for rearsets and fender elim. Est. 408 pounds wet. 2.0 pounds per HP Or 1,102 HP per ton. Kind of ridiculous.

[@greatcornholio5541]

Better than super car acceleration for 15-20K depending on mods…can’t beat modern sportbikes, easily best bang for the buck.

[@ckryegrass11]

The whole taping and marking the ignition switch as well as placing the key in another area is a perfect example of the way I try to teach people. You my friend are a true craftsman and an expert.

[@BrockDavidson]

Stuff happens... but if you prepare in advance - less stuff happens.

[@YT1344]

I love how passionate you explain technical. You turn boring subjects to entertaining!

[@BrockDavidson]

@YT1344 - There is knowledge to be gained in even the most mundane topics. In fact, we have seen the 'simple' task of an oil change destroy engines and cause crashes (from a loose drain plug). It's the little things in life the can creep up and cause you big problems. Having a proven structure to follow, every time, helps prevent these issues.

[@YT1344]

Of course, tons of good tips. Like it was question to me, buying manufacturer's oil and filter or others in fancy packaging? Awesome videos! (Y) (Y)

I did not like my S1000RR IT WAS NOTHING ! On the other hand my Aprilla was bad to the boan over 200 hp but who cares because it turned and fit my body better ! I go less miles out of the tiers too 2000 miles a set . That from more power to the ground.

[@melbournestalkingforfools9398]

I agree. You can't say it , but I can...... K&N filters take way too long to get oil pressure after changing. I wonder how many heart attacks they've caused😥. Fill the filter before fitting or better still, use a genuine oil filter. 🤗

[@BrockDavidson]

The very first time we hurt a motor due to an aftermarket filter not flowing oil, we switched to an only OEM policy and never looked back.

[@jryer1]

@Brock - Very impressive. I would be very interested in the Quick/Blip installation, and its consistency over time compared to the RR. Not sure anyone would have thought 204 hp out of this bike, even with MR-12. This set-up is just amazing, a winning package. We've had a few 70 degree days in Texas recently, hit the twisties, mixed in some wheelies, the bike just keeps getting better, all in stock form. At 194-204 hp (depending on which package is used) this bike's grunt & scream is destined for beast-hood, what an amazing piece of machinery. GIXZILLA, it LIVES!!

[@BrockDavidson]

It's been averaging 20 degree temps/snow and rain here in Ohio. We can't wait to get her out in the springtime.

[@mike216ism]

I recently bought a 2018 gsxr 1000R. Very surprised to see it still used the old 10 40. With such a high rpm a assumed we would be at a lower weight. Awesome machine.

I love the new GSXR. I thought it already had the autoblipper by the way you were downshifting so quick there.

[@BrockDavidson]

@Beam - the auto-blipper was being used in this video and is available in our store. We just haven't outlined it in this build series, yet.

[@jryer1]

"No no no ... We take them out of the room and hide them." I was dying from laughter the whole time, good stuff!!

[@BrockDavidson]

Oh yeah....I know of several bikes that have been accidentally started with no oil. I know of a racebike that made a full 1/4 mile run with no oil!

[@JoseRodriguez-mp1bl]

I used Alysin less that zero at 999 miles in my 2018 R1. Three thousand miles later with the Petron Plus additive here in South Texas the bike is running fantastic. I was just told to change it every 3,000-4,000 miles. At 599 miles I changed it with Yamalube15-50w Full Synthetic. Then before I had her dyno tuned I changed to Amsoil oil filter and Alysin. Love this stuff! Brock Davidson

We made the ECU/pump gas video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6bagZeNhLh6iKM the qs/ab have no effect on power - they just sound cool (:

[@brandonguetzke3355]

Definitely would be interesting to see what some timing advancements would result in! Then I'd think it would get into the nitty gritty of per horsepower stack ups after porting heads.

[@SystemAdministrator1]

Brock what is wrong with my k6 gsxr 1k engine, it had metal flakes in the oil kind of goldish colored.???

[@BrockDavidson]

If the flakes are bronze colored and the bike is knocking - you may have lost a crank bearing.

Two thumbs up! Thanks Brock, keep the vids coming

[@brisolaslip]

The last couple of days I’ve been watching your videos , and what I have to say is WOW! Awesome stuff! Talking about oil , have you ever used or heard of MILITEC-1 oil additive ? I’ve been using it over 10 years and love it. You should definitely look in to it . Less friction, smoother ride , just a great product over all. Last year put more than 55k miles on my 2014 FZ09 using it with Castrol oil 10w50 ( here in Los Angeles ) with no issues what’s so ever! It would be nice to see some numbers on the dyno when add to the oil. Thanks again for the great content on your channel.

[@BrockDavidson]

Glad you like our vids. I have not tried MILITEC-1. It took us years to confirm an additive that truly worked for our application - so we stick with the Petron+. We have tested other additives that made a bit more power... but we also encountered clutch slip and a couple even produced corrosion of internal components. You haven't lived until you have wiped oil off of a rusty connecting rod or trans. gear.

[@fnq-8890]

[@Clint_the_Audio-Photo_Guy]

Sweet. Just curious, what would it take $$ to get my ZX14R SE set up for land speed racing? I want to pass 200mph. It's a completely stock 2016 bike with 700 miles on it right now. I'm here in Ohio too, not far from 650ib actually by the filthy streets of Cleveland, haha. I know there's some regulations like a metal chain guard and such. I'm finishing some of my dad's bucket list items for him since he passed away last year. He never saw 200mph. Hence the reason I bought the ZX14R.

[@BrockDavidson]

@Photo - Please give us a call 937-912-0054. Our customer service team can put a combination together to match your use and budget. FYI: one of our customers still holds the LSR record for a 14r using only bolt-on components at 212.898 MPH .

[@BeardedFordTech]

What do you think of Liqui Moly oil. They also have oil additive. Motogp uses it. Have you ever used it? What's your take on This? I use mobile 1 10w40 4t racing. No additives

[@BrockDavidson]

@Tiwst - we have not used Liquid Molly oil.

[@freekjacobs6096]

Thanks again for the video Brock! Will the racing oil maybe make a bigger difference after you put some more miles into it? Will it then not thin out a little bit more?

@Freek - It typically does. We will show those results in an upcoming vid.

[@laszlosz5383]

Hi Brock! You put quite interesting & informative videos up here, I like to watch them - thanks! I have a question about those hp numbers: @ the rear wheel or calculated flywheel figures?

Hey Brock, whats your opinion on using Alisyn in heaver applications such as high performance v-twins air and liquid cooled in the 20W50 weight? You said you use Alisyn in all your bikes with "stock engines" can you elaborate more on that? What oil do you use for modified engines?

[@diamondheat9]

I know you might not see this but how you mention the kawasaki 10w-40 is great to run, would it become too much running it with Petron Plus as well? Seeing as how it thickens up the less than 0 weight would it be too much on 10w-40?

[@BrockDavidson]

Please see the note at the end of this FAQ as it applies to all oil. We like the Petron + because it adds zinc to the engine for additional protection: blog.brocksperformance.com/faq/what-is-the-best-weight-alisyn-oil-for-my-application/

[@throttleitup]

Add a yellow jump suit and this looks like an episode of BREAKING BAD.

[@thesprattlawfirmpllc37]

Brock, do you add the petron with every oil change ? Also, can you run the pro 21 < 0 by itself, without the petron? Next, how many normal street driving miles, with the occasional pull, do you recommend before an oil change with the pro and petron combination? Thanks in advance...

[@BrockDavidson]

@Sprat Law Firm PLLC - this answers your Petron question: blog.brocksperformance.com/faq/how-often-should-i-use-the-petron-oil-additive-when-changing-my-oil/ and yes, the Alisyn can be run without the Petron. Oil change interval is a tough one to answer since one rider-botched pass can require an oil change. We travel 1500-2000 on the street and an occasional trip to the track. Here is a bit more info. on Alisyn for street use: blog.brocksperformance.com/faq/how-is-the-less-than-zero-weight-oil-going-to-perform-on-the-street-i-do-still-ride-on-the-street-some/

Hey Brock! Have you ever put Rotella T6 oil in a bike? I've used this with some Motorcote and even a little Lucas oil additive. But I'm sure you could test this hypothesis? I am quite the mad scientist when mixing oils together lol. Also what about lifetime oil filters? Like Flo or System1? I run a Flo and just the cost savings over a year pays for itself and I believe it works if not better than O.e.m. Do you rebuild engines? Like take a stock 750 and bore it out? Or is this something a specific engine builder would do? What about turbo? Are you adding one to this Gixer?

[@BrockDavidson]

Yes on the Rotella - Good stuff! But it works much better in my diesel truck, IMO. We use only OEM Oil Filters. Check this about rebuilding engines: bit.ly/3aXtFTK

[@BrockDavidson]

And NO of the 15K RPMs. At 14.8K, you are already a bit higher than recommended. What is sometimes difficult to understand, is that the stress on the components increases exponentially as RPM's increse, which can lead to premature engine failure.

[@daveyt4802]

How many hours or miles do you go on the Alison Petron oil change? $100 oil changes.

[@BrockDavidson]

@Davey T - That depends upon your use. A daily driver will not need as many changes per year as a bike that is drag raced consistently...so there really is no XXX concrete answer other than "when it gets dirty enough to need changed". That said, these might help you: blog.brocksperformance.com/faq/what-is-the-best-weight-alisyn-oil-for-my-application/ and blog.brocksperformance.com/faq/how-often-should-i-use-the-petron-oil-additive-when-changing-my-oil/

@HKvsGlock think of it this way...what other engine oil would even be tested in a gear-driven supercharger spinning 140,000 RPM's?...much less approved by the manufacturer. Remember, the engineers that develop these engines know FAR more than we do about making them live.

[@timjamesvella]

hey Brock, what would the effect of RAM air have on the dyno run? can you simulate that on the dyno?

[@BrockDavidson]

@Tim, although we can't properly simulate the ram air effects of a bike moving at "x" speed enough to tune - we can force some additional air in for giggles. It's typically a 2-3 HP gain, depends on the bike/airbox design and air filter. FYI: the gains from a modern sportbike airbox come from their use as a plenum (dead air space from the engine to breath from), an isolator to keep engine heat away from the inlets - then also, to facilitate ram air.

@@BrockDavidson ok thx

[@jeremybly]

Hey Brock I have a question for you. I would think with drag racing you would be all about putting in a quick turn throttle. I put one in 2 of my 3 bikes. A 2017 ninja 1000 and a 2019 Suzuki GSX-R750 and for $80 for a G2 quick turn throttle it actually makes a noticeable difference. It almost makes it feel like the bike is more powerful even though it's just getting to WOT quicker. A little detail like that and a detail like a sprocket swap. A small detail here and their all makes a big difference. What's your thoughts on this?

[@BrockDavidson]

In sportbike drag racing, the opposite is true. The rider must modulate front wheel height using throttle and clutch control. If the throttle opens too quickly, it becomes more difficult to modulate front wheel height. Of course, if the throttle is very slow, this is a problem also but most modern sportbikes are very good.

@STON3 - here you go: blog.brocksperformance.com/faq/what-is-the-best-weight-alisyn-oil-for-my-application/

[@yoshy4072]

Is it ok to use this light oil in early 80,s big bore bikes, ie: Suzuki Gs1100e ?

[@BrockDavidson]

Those engines like a bit more viscosity. The petron additive works great in them though.

[@hiram821]

hola @Brock Davidson cual es tu recomendación para street 750 R 2016

[@BrockDavidson]

Todas las mismas técnicas se pueden utilizar para el 2016750. Escape, PCV, filtro Sprint, aceite alisyn, peteron, etc.

[@timjamesvella]

forgot to ask, do you use any of dyno jets other products like the secondary fuel module or igitinio control or spark control models?

[@BrockDavidson]

@Tim - not really. We can add more fuel to the secondary injectors (if required-and rarely is) and adjust the timing in the flash.

[@meshari7513]

Hello there , I have a question, first thing I have the R version and i have installed the predator full exhaust and sprint filter. Before tuning , the bike did 172 whp. After tuning it did 181 . Is there something i could do to get more horse power?

[@BrockDavidson]

Hello @Meshari M - This entire stock-to-Brock video series is dedicated to answering those questions. Did you vary from the combinations we listed?

[@RidingWithRoro]

Hello. Sir is it mandatory to fill the oil filter before installation? I see mechanics never fill it up. They just screw it in and fill the engine.

[@BrockDavidson]

We are seeing the opposite. Most new bikes we see are overful. That can be a real issue on a supercharged bike.

[@spoonman73]

Hey Brock, I hear it is good to shake all of your oil as the additives sink to the bottom during storage. What is your opinion on using a 0W-20 synthetic auto oil in bikes? Been running Mobil 1 5W30 in my Ninja 1000 for awhile and it seems to like it (revs faster, runs cooler, no clutch slippage). What about car oils in general for use in bikes?

[@LightningMAS]

never.. ever.. put car oil in bikes.. a big no no.

[@BrockDavidson]

@spoonman73, prolly not a bad idea to shake the oil also. We use 0w-20 in our bikes often. It would depend on exactly which car oil, but we don't typically do it, as we prefer our 10w-20 Alisyn: www.brocksperformance.com/0W20-Alisyn-Synthetic-Oil-Quart+I790102+C79.aspx

[@joshposey9155]

Where are you guys located I would like to come visit you guys and get y’all to do some work to my bike and tune it. I have the twin to this bike but it is the R model

[@gliscameria]

Does it make a difference if you are flashing/dyno running without using velocity on the ram air?

[@BrockDavidson]

Yes. But since we can't properly duplicate Ram Air, we adjust the mapping at the race track, click here for more info: www.brocksperformance.com/absolutefm/?f=234

[@gliscameria]

Thanks for the reply. I did some digging and found some neat info on monitoring airbox pressure along with power gains with ram air. The link was helpful. Love the videos, very nerd friendly.

[@ActualJesusChrist]

I'm a little new to bikes, just got my first in august. Running thin oil gives me the nails-on-the-chalkboard feeling and I'm just wondering if your theory of running thin oil is the same on all bikes, old and new, or just the newer bikes. You said you run thick oil in your harley, but not as thick as the manufacturer calls for. How do you determine the weight of the oil you need? I have a 1987 Honda Magna. Also, What could happen if you run oil that's too thin? Final question, I promise, is about the oil additive. What could go wrong and how do you tell if something is going wrong with the fuel additive?

[@BrockDavidson]

Jesus Christ - we would not use the thin oils in an older bike. We would use the Petron additive, but if your old clutch is ready to die... it might slip.

[@LifeCreator]

Jesus Christ I have a prayer request. I want a 2018 BMW S1000RR in red and black. 🙏🏾

[@alejandrotobienne4288]

That debris on plug is from transmission not engine. Mostly roller bearing material.

[@mrjoe9308]

Why putting a 0w oil if you add an additive which makes it becoming a straight 10w ??

[@BrockDavidson]

Because if we use the additive in a thicker oil, the overall number would go up even higher...which increases drag/reduces acceleration. Our Aliysn oil is actually less than zero weight, which makes it a perfect partner for the Petron Additive.

[@mrjoe9308]

Ok but I mean why putting ultra thin oil whith an additive that thicken it instead of directly putting a 10w oil ?

[@BrockDavidson]

Because the additive reduces friction, increases clutch life and helps protect the engine parts if the oil pressure drops - from wheelies etc. We don't know of any oil alone which does this.

[@mrjoe9308]

ok . And what oil grade would you recommend for old school 4 cylinders ,750/1000 cc , 90s sportbike (road use) ?

[@Diego_Mtz93]

Are you supposed to use the whole additive?

[@BrockDavidson]

We do, some guys use half now/half next time to save $.

[@LightningMAS]

why you dont like Amsoil?

[@BrockDavidson]

@Flea231 - I do! Great stuff and some of our customers won't run anything else. As a racer/crew chief it's my job to make this bike as quick/fast as possible. Our testing has shown this combination to work best AND protect our engines under very adverse conditions. If you prefer Amsoil, by all means, run it (:

[@LightningMAS]

Brock Davidson thats what i figured. Because you are the owner and you know your stuff. I thought i would throw amsoil out there to make its okay by your opinion.. i have amsoil 10w40 in my 17 gsxr1000. Im at 2800 miles right now. ive been running it in my dirtbikes and in all my sportbikes since 2002. No problems ever. And i agree with you on the oem filter part. I will only stick with oem also. Thanks brock.. great video on the oil. You are awesome.. and i looked forward to seeing more of ur gsxr videos

[@pvkjhilk8323]

any opinions on the Motul stuff?

[@BrockDavidson]

300 V is a great oil also.

[@DearMajesty]

meh Amsoil is a ripoff

[@DangerDavefpv]

brock davidson i have a 2006 zx14 that previous owner placed a 2008 header which has the catalytic converter and also they didnt even have mufflers on it and i found secondary throttle blades was removed... so what ive done was gut the converters and i found a used set of vance and hines cs-1 mufflers to put on since it didnt have any mufflers when i bought bike. should i feel a power difference with this? it didnt run bad just loud as #### and i feel that it would hurt bikes power with no mufflers. i also used just 10w-40 motorcycle mobil oil but if i can buy better oil that is proven to reduce engine wear and reliability then i will but would a lower weight oil hurt my zx14? im hoping the cats removed in header will help with engine heat also but ill be needing a ecu flash im guessing and id like to dyno bike to see if it even makes 150hp to rear wheel

[@BrockDavidson]

@Danger Davefpv - Hello. I can't answer the question about your pipe, other than to say that if you want to truly make more power, that gains are to be found in replacing the OEM headpipes more than any changes you can make on the muffler side. We used the Mobil 1 for years. iIts a great oil and relatively inexpensive. We switched to our Alisyn Aerospace to extract maximum power and acceleration. Go to our ZX-14 Diaries to see what we did to our 2006 ZX-14 and the performance increases we measured: blog.brocksperformance.com/kawasaki-zx-14-06-11/

[@izzivilli2710]

Hey Brock I️ want to buy a full system for the gsxr 1000 17 which one will be louder the alien head or the short meg a louder and deeper tone and they don’t have baffles correct? And sound nicer ?

[@BrockDavidson]

@Isaias - The Alien Head and ShortMeg are the exact same muffler - we just 'squish' the ShortMeg to produce the Alien Head shape. Both come with baffles, but the ShortMeg baffle is removable (aka: crazy loud!) for drag strip use.

[@izzivilli2710]

So I️ can’t remove the alien head baffle I️ thought it was a straight through hole ?

[@BrockDavidson]

@Isaias - please read this: www.brocksperformance.com/absolutefm/?f=282

[@TheDavidloikits]

Any plans on doing a "thinner" head gasket ! ?

[@BrockDavidson]

Not really - we are in the bolt-on performance business... but they certainly work!!

[@OMAR-gl9cp]

Hey brock I have a 11 gsxr-1000 and I want to change sprocket kits stock is 17 42, want to do 16 teeth front and stock rear what u recommend?

[@BrockDavidson]

Hello omar douse. We have run 16-41 successfully in the past for street/strip use. That said, please read this: blog.brocksperformance.com/faq/what-is-the-best-gearing-combination-for-my/

[@quniok]

Hey, Brock ;-) how long the oil light can stay on before damage is inflicted? The last time I changed oil and filter on my ZX6R the oil light stayed on for what felt like eternity, some no fun noises from the cylinder head appeared, in an act of desperation I decided to rev it and that seemed to have purged the air. The noise is gone, everything seems to be back to normal but I keep thinking about it. I use Militec 1 oil additive (produced in the USA and imported to Poland), I'd gladly see a review of it done by you and some hard dyno data whether it really works or not, it definitely makes shifting smoother and raises idle a bit. God bless!

[@BrockDavidson]

Air can trick the light, but the bike is still getting oil. You know quickly if you ever had an oil starvation issue...

[@quniok]

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your work!

[@Da-wooley18]

Please keep going with the build the only thing that could have made the data better would to be making passes on every change just to watch the ET drop but I understand weather conditions change to much at least run it stock wheel base for a base line # before to add an arm loving it

[@BrockDavidson]

@Busa1811, we make passes on every single change - from the days baseline run (s) we show the relevant changes - if we tried to show them all, it would get boring to watch AND confusing for the viewer.

[@Da-wooley18]

Brock Davidson understood I was talking about on the track not dyno lol I think us fellow racers out there would like to see a stock bike with your current package make a 1/4 mile pass then make one after the BSTs ceramics lowing and so on

[@BACRam-sg5we]

Busa1811 wolaver I agree. Have been following this a long time. And the question for me right now is: Is the gixxer on pair with the S1000RR's and ZX10's on the 1/4 mile YES or NO?

[@BrockDavidson]

yes
