5 Things I Hate About My 2023 Yamaha R1

[@MoniTheCambo]

For the fuel guage situation, I use the fuel consumption screen. It tells you how much fuel you use as you ride. I guess it's sort of like a reverse fuel guage haha. The gas light usually comes on when you hit 3.5 gal, and I'll just reset it with the wheel when I fill up.

[@R1ndone]

Brilliant!!!! I appreciate it homie!

[@KimmyR3]

wrt the fuel gauge situation - if the dash is like the 17+ R6, there should be a 'fuel used' meter in it. it's a totalizer, so it doesn't reset itself. what i do is reset it each time i gas up, and since i know how much distance i can cover with it, that becomes my fuel gauge. it's accurate enough in my exp

[@aayo23]

I use my trip 1 to track my gas and trip 2 to track my oil change and chain clean

[@jefferson2214]

1. Fuel gauge From all the 1000's this bike is the most track oriented, you dont need fuel gauge on track. Besides it DOES have low fuel warning light. It switches ur f-trip on display. Plus if you arent a brainlets there are plenty of ways to track your fuel 2. Quickshifter down You are right, but only below 6k rpms, quickshifter works best in high rpms. Downshifting in 7,8,9k + rpms is CRISP, how have you not noticed this? 3. Passager seat Completely agree, girlfriend also rides backpack with me and hates it. Buuuut it is a supersport bike made for laptimes on track, its like buying lambo and then crying u cant fit ur kids in the back. 4. Laggy throttle response The default ecu maps - A,B,C and D have all different throttle response, make sure youre in correct mode. As others said, the bike is heavily restricted from the factory, an ecu tune will solve this if it persists. 5. R6 and R1 looks the same Idk what to tell you, they do look very similar, but there's this badge on the side that reads "R1". If you buy mustang 5.0 you can complain it looks similar to inferior v6 3.7 model.

[@R1ndone]

Haha I appreciate that you took the time to break down the video. Super thorough my guy!!! I love all the points you made! At the end of the day I don’t have any real issues with the bike. I was more trying to let ppl know just some things that I thought of before they went and bought! I heavily recommend the bike! Just some of my thoughts! 🫶🏻

[@megatron7811]

Every issue u described would go away with a dyno tune. Remember those bikes from factory are highly restricted.

[@R1ndone]

Yea that’s what I keep hearing as well however your boy is broke! 😂🫶🏻

[@megatron7811]

It’s all good boss lol, in due time

[@R1ndone]

@@megatron7811 one day brotha! I’ll get her tuned and get an exhaust! 😂

[@Kirkster131]

Yea my ZX10R was a crap shoot before a tune… now the QS is butter up and down and it is a whole new bike after the derestriction.

[@R1ndone]

@@Kirkster131 don’t tell anyone but I have a tune on the way 🤫😉

[@FaerodynMoto]

I could get used to not having a gear indicator, but no fuel gauge = anxiety! 😅

[@R1ndone]

Bro I can’t even begin to tell you the worry. That’s why every video pretty much starts with me filling up 😂

[@JESUSISCALLINGYOU7]

None of my sportbikes ever had a fuel gauge, so we always did the open gas cap/shake the bike thing before every ride, ha-ha. Since I got my '22 Hayabusa, I'm so freakin' spoiled. Not only that, because it's so fuel efficient, unless I get on it a lot, the tank will last for such a long time. I'll really get sad if my next bike doesn't have a fuel gauge. I'm thinking of a '24 R1 (before it gets updated), but its bad fuel economy is such a meme, ha-ha. Rarely do I see a video of the R1 where it doesn't begin at a gas station!

[@FaerodynMoto]

@@JESUSISCALLINGYOU7 Dang man, you got a Busa?!? Nice!! My RC390 gets great gas mileage and has all the bells and whistles you could ever want on a starter bike. Just no top end power...

[@JESUSISCALLINGYOU7]

@@FaerodynMoto Yeah. She's nice and comfy, and the rush of torque down low is addicting. Anyway, your bike was made for the track, and the track doesn't need top end power! Different bikes for different purposes, he-he.

[@FaerodynMoto]

@@JESUSISCALLINGYOU7 well said! 👍

[@patrickstevens3721]

The R1 isnt really made to carry a passenger. I mean you can...but if you know you know.

[@miguelaraujo2178]

The delay you could solved with a new sprocket (?) or a tune, but you would void the warranty with the tune

[@R1ndone]

That’s exactly my issue. Trying to keep this baby in warranty but man she def needs a tune

[@miguelaraujo2178]

@@R1ndone have you asked to a mechanic about the downshifts? Or searched about it? Because the reviews I saw about the r1 qs were pretty ok

[@miguelaraujo2178]

And do you only have the R1?

[@R1ndone]

@@miguelaraujo2178 I have and everyone has just recommended a tune and said that there’s nothing obvious that’s wrong with it, and yes I only have the r1. I use to have a ninja 400 as well but I ultimately sold it!

[@miguelaraujo2178]

@@R1ndone can a tune make the down shifts smoother?

[@FlexFast]

I have not one complaint about my 23 r1. Your bike looks stock, mine is far from stock though. My q/s and auto blipper is butter smooth not sure why yours feels this way ( hopefully your not d/s on the throttle). My girl hates the backseat as well. You need to tune the suspension it helps with a passenger, also EBM - 3. Your throttle response problem are the factory restrictions. BAUCE racing for a tune 👍

[@R1ndone]

Thanks for all the help! Hopefully I can get some of that done soon to fix it! Ride safe out there!

[@RTK171]

The auto blip on the R1 is fine just smash it it down as the slipper clutch takes care of it don't baby it it's a race bike. The throttle is FBW so they lag a tad but in Mode 2 it's OK or put a jetprime throttle on it and it is a different machine. My 2 hates are the TFT is to small and sits to flat it needs a hinge system like the Triumph 765 ST and lastly the throttle side mirror vibrates like the R7 does. 😊 I have the R1M a little more refined but still has issues that need to be addressed

[@Mujahideen_khinzir]

If you have mo fuel guage. Just check miles you ridden. My bike has guage but i fill up around every 150ish miles

[@2025.yamaha.R1]

I just wish I could tune out the stutter in my low rpm’s in my motorcycle

[@jacobmueller5176]

something that kinda bothered me about your video, was your outrageous finger placement on the front brake. I have never felt such levels of discomfort.

[@R1ndone]

That’s fair. I’ve had a few dudes who hate my finger placement and I’ve had a good few that liked it! To each their own! 😊

[@hbenitez8]

What part of Texas you guys ride at.

[@R1ndone]

At the Mexico border 😉🫶🏻🇲🇽

[@rocknraptor3195]

With the downshifts just rev match. Ok i hear ya 👍 i love rev matching & have never used a auto blip. With the backpack it's crazy in my mind they can see the tach & speedometer. I can remember being young & on the back of one. You need a tune bro! That computer holds your bike back A LOT, it's drive by wire, meaning computer controls the throttle, not really you. At 100% throttle the computer controls how fast the throttle plates, butterfly valves open in the throttle bodies. My 03 has none & is faster ET than a stock new R1, without a tune. Be safe bro.

[@amaximus5753]

Hey, legitimate complaints. However, these R1's are heavily restricted from factory. One of the most restricted bikes out of factory actually. An exhaust and an ecu flash will definitely sort out any throttle issues. The back seat issue, well, the only answer to that is, get a harley Davidson if you want a comfy passenger. I agree with the no fuel gage issue. Seriously yamaha. I believe this is the 5th gen R1 now and still no fuel gage. My 2014 Ktm superduke had a fuel gage, and im pretty sure some of the other superbike brands have a fuel gage too. Have you tried using the trip gage?

[@R1ndone]

I appreciate it all! I did recently get a full tune for it and she’s running a whole lot better. And as for the fuel gauge I have been just measuring miles! Thanks for everything!

[@khuongoikhuong]

Don’t nobody else shake the bike to see how much fuel is left in the tank?

[@ChandlerWilson-c6m]

Liked the comments. More like areas for improvement.

[@R1ndone]

Absolutely! There’s always tons of rooms for improvements! Thanks for the support!

I just spent 18 bucks for the r1💀8 bucks alot of crazy

Yessir. Been there

[@noburuhasake]

Do u even ride if ya can't differentiate a R1 from a R6 or R7. I mean ok they all have a very similar looking tail but to say ur bike is slow means u heard the bike and if u know a little something about bikes u can very well tell apart the R1 engine from the other ones... So don't mind those imbeciles dude, u have a great bike!! :D

[@R1ndone]

Man I really appreciate it. And you know how it goes. There’s always the one dude who thinks he’s better than everyone and just spouts bs. But Fr Thankyou for the support.
