Now you need to start a "Round Bloke to Race Bloke" series. 😂

[@VState60]

😂😂😂 low blow!

[@NooBiker]

😂😂😂 how many seconds would that shave?

[@soundbey]

Excellent suggestion

[@benllewelyn98]

Basically just "fat chat" from the news

[@beetleything1864]

Bingo🎉

[@LambChopRides]

Fantastic! Amazing how close your overlayed laps were

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Thanks dad 👊🏼

[@Gunnergunnerson]

Sorry to hop in here but I can't tag you boy's 😔, still waiting on a 44 teeth track day. Already planned it for you, check my comment on the ducati track day vid. All the love lads, you included lamb chop.

[@RobertAlldredge-b5z]

Go Honda's & Norton's

[@RobertAlldredge-b5z]

I'm a drag bike racer

[@johnparton1207]

🐓 sucker

[@coldaxle]

I would love to see a suspension guy help out before you guys remove the oem stuff. Awesome series!

[@ericteal]

Same here. Proper springs, setup and geometry adjustments can go a long way with OEM suspension. Either way, correct springs are a must for any track bike. Aftermarket suspension, not so much.

[@TeznaGFX]

DAVE MOSS

[@thepriest6996]

Agree. Besides, most of us won't be able to afford a full Ohlins system. By doing a cheaper yet good suspension setup, and then installing the Ohlins, you can compare the actual difference in performance and lap times. That would be fantastic for us viewers. Thanks for these videos; can't wait for the next one.

[@DWCBOB]

Yes. Incremental upgrades. Do springs then valves then full go fast parts

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

@@TeznaGFX Think they could do better or at least equal as that self proclaimed guru

[@honnayb33]

Completely loved the dashboard. Fantastic video as always! Thank you, boys.

[@davemieze9021]

I love that snarl. Many bikes can bark, but this one is magic

[@gehrBehr1]

Chris......been watching you for many years now..........your riding is very impressive now, seeing you improve has been awesome.

[@shadowred1980]

Loving this series. Hats off for the editing in this one and the data overlay.

[@danogden1623]

From budget to track weapon. Amazing how much Chris has improved. You boys are like a proper race team with sponsored flamingo burgers and everything.

[@Therealdankyle]

Fantastic series

[@SkuStyle]

The ultimate MOD for a faster lap time SHIRLEY will be, 44Teeth Decal kit on da bike! One MOD you boys seem to of overlooked at this point is, remove the wing mirrors for better aerodynamics? 🤪 Small thing but every little bit counts!

[@Ben-rq5re]

Loved this series lads, but seriously what is that music? Not sure if I’m watching motorcycles or Mario Kart 😂

[@nickbuchananracing]

as far as my bike, tires, confident brakes and comfortable ergonomics are my main concerns for starting mods, so good on you for starting there. contrary to some peoples natural instincts, power is the last thing to worry about...

[@oneonlyxram]

Really cool to see what you can get for little money, respective to other bike builds. Now if you two can make it to the US, in the winter, come out to Arizona and there's an incredible track with amazing facilities (chefs too) to offer a great experience!

[@deanodrives4966]

Loving this series chaps! I could watch both of you ride all day long, you both rock! Chris your riding has improved massively and it's been awesome to see you progress so much!

[@dg8062]

Great stuff as always 👏. That chain check at 3:10 seemed loose! You run chain that loose? Legit question, many opinions?

[@benchaggaresmusic]

I agree, it seemed loose. Standard tension on the R1 is about 25-35mm but that seemed like a lot more

[@999_pan]

Chain tension is when bike is laden with rider(?) so that tension looks like it would be taken up when they are on the bike

[@CPUspeed]

Such a great series. Take it to the track boys. That’s what these bikes are for.

[@harpersneil]

I'm shamelessly in love with 44Teeth, always have been. But I particularly love this series - it's super interesting and informative.... but way less boring than that sounds cause it's funny af too.

[@FrankyJr]

This was an incredible episode. The overlayed laps were fantastic to see. Really well produced lads

[@Terraceview]

Awesome stuff guys, you guys are super close in laptimes so a great comparison!

[@franklinwilkerson2061]

So do you have to adjust the electronics when you modify gearing? I heard something along those lines. Amazing series btw. Love you guys.

[@JamoZNL]

Why don`t you guys just remove the mirrors?

[@suplexracing1676]

Super serie. But the #1 on the priority list should be to remove the mirrors and licenceplate holder. 😂

[@simoncarter9957]

This popped up while I was rewatching BBB 1... can't complain 👍🏻

[@pablononpicasso1977]

Chris, You are doing wonders working on bikes compared with even three years back. You obviously like to know how and why something ticks, and have some fun doing it.

[@ozofer5285]

I'm dying to know the name of the song you use at the beginning

[@igoraustin]

Best series 44T have done, cheers

[@flamintasty]

Great video, shame about some of the muppets in the comments. One is a bullshitter and the other thinks he needs to tell grandma how to suck eggs. Gotta love the internet 🙄

[@ryancox3834]

Loving this series.

[@thecommentator6694]

Fantastic start to the series lads, I did my first track day at Silverstone last summer on my Ninja 400, turned up with nothing other than myself, the bike and a rucksack! Completely clueless but had such a good time. Just got a 2020 ZX6R last week and would love to track it this year hopefully, probably with some tuition. Really enjoying seeing the gradual upgrades and results, great info for a novice like myself 👍🏼

[@stephenlebillon3066]

Love to see race fairings with half and half designs of your leathers on them🤔

[@PilotlifePOV]

cheapest mod is to drop a few KG on the rider; but yes it is a bike mod so pretty awesome you guys are showcasing these adjustments to improve overall performance!

[@6569carl]

Great video, really good watch! It would be interesting to see if investing in a day with a riding coach would worth while

[@everss02]

Take those mirrors off.......

[@CaptainCarbon]

Really enjoy this bang for buck type of series. What can be done with smart money in key areas, then what can be down with taking it further.

[@petri_ride]

Just in time for dinner..... ya foooking beautyyyyyy

[@stephanosuk78]

Cracking shots great editing, a really fun professional episode.

[@sp00ky1969]

I booked Brno with them solely based on your very strong recommendation… 🙄 Really well organised and very helpful and friendly people. Second track ’day’ after 25 years not riding. Such fun.

[@Stripping_Bolts]

This series has inspired me in my own build and has got me so hype to bring my rsv4 to the track at the end of the year. Good work lads

[@OriginalSpun]

One of those videos that you don't want to end, great series guys 👍

[@neillatham4742]

Love how you are being methodical about testing part by part, so you can understand how much time is gained. Really well thought out test.

[@garyhutson6361]

Great watching step by step progress. 👍🏼

[@chrissyhardman]

These boys know how good that first little montage was coz they keep using the fucker. I'm not mad about it either. It really was THAT good.

[@RobinHood-yk8og]

There are absolutely *_loads_* of ways to do the suspension wrong. Regardless of how the rider *_feels_* about it. Rule of thumb: If you're bottoming out, stiffen it up a bit. If you're not bottoming out, soften it up a bit.

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

Well well, we all know Al is an experienced racer, but your riding skills have come on a lot Chris, get an agent and get into BSB.. I have been closely watching this project as an ex R1 owner. I can't wait to try RS11 tyres on my Superduke because to be honest the bike is crazy but so much fun

[@G1installs]

My thoughts too! How does an amateur bike rider, graphic designer keep up with an ex BSB rider??? RESPECT Chris.

[@thatblokemoose9499]

Honestly, Sue Perkins has such a good narration voice. Could listen to him reading Haynes Manuals on Audible 😂

[@strobegaming4981]

Yes the video i was waiting for great video love your guys vids

[@Cycle9568]

Suspension setup is so critical to the average rider! I did a track day several years ago with Dave Moss doing suspension set up and tuning for riders for a small fee. Best money I have ever spent.

[@608rider]

20:25 are those his cords coming thru on his tire ? Or is that the style of tire lol Either way love the videos Best riding from America ❤🎉

[@adrianzmajla4844]

I reckon you're right, well spotted. Cheers from Down Under.

[@RichieWilliams]

Great series of Videos, and the Candy Shop music is an earworm..... :)

[@GrahamPorter-j1x]

hi guys it's probably been asked before but what phone mount do you guys use thanks in advance

[@iainwhite3476]

Be good to see a £50 track day suspension setup before you spend money on ohlins kit then do the times after to show what the upgrades bring

[@2WCapo]

Curious, did removing the ABS fuse throw any engine lights? I'm considering bringing my '23 MT-10 to a track day for fun but I'm not a fan of ABS in general and would want to try and defeat it if easily possible. Thanks for the video, awesome as always.

[@Liv3fast]

Removed it on my MT07, just a dash light nothing else.

[@TheUberdude14]

i would not be suprised if the gytr abs emulator works on the mt10 as the r1 ant mt10 share alot of parts, you could ask your local dealer if they have any experience with fitting one

[@franbarker4350]

Whoever does the music for these recent vids, please stop - it's absolutely doing my tree in haha

[@elarr8733]

Do any road racers remove the o-rings from their chains to free up rolling resistance?

[@billyka11]

Why don't just buy a non oring chain?

[@elarr8733]

@@billyka11 Are there non o-ring chains built to the spec of racing an R1 around a road course? My bike has belt drive so I'm not really up on chains. I thought non o-ring chains were legacy tech like how you can still buy bias ply tires for a 1963 Mercury Comet but you're not going to mount them on 911 rims and go club racing. There's video of Chris Moore at Moore Mafia picking the o-rings out of a new chain to go drag racing. Figured there was a reason he went through all of that instead of buying a non o-ring chain.

[@mikeemery8846]

What’s the lap timing system that you’re using on the bike? TIA

[@mbpm6135]

I know it won't be a massive time gain, but why keep the mirrors / plate fender on there?

[@jehanzeb1970]

there was an rc8c in the background! did you offer a bike swap for a session ?

[@essexboydave]

What is “race shift” and why am I the only person who doesn’t know?

[@chickenstripz_za]

The flamingo suit is maaaad dope!!!😂😂😂😂

[@lapua2432]

Is not near an oil change yet. New bike and full bung from initial break in ?

[@NHlocal]

Great video! Really love seeing the side by side time comparison when you upgrade to better components. I have a completely factory stock ZX10R that I (as a new racer) run Dunlop Q4 tires and have tried a couple different performance brake pads. I first tried EBC EPFA447HH Road Race Front Brake Pads and the performance was way better than stock, too bad they wore out kinda fast. The next set which I have in the front calipers right now are Galfer G1375 HH pads. Again, way better than stock and seem to be laster longer than the EBC pads. Well worth it to put premium tires and front brake pads on your bike if you intend to put it on the track, even if it's just a track day. Thanks for the video and keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🏍 Randy

[@token955]

Does anyone know what phone app they’re using to track lap times?

[@Eraesr]

Excellent stuff! What app are you running on the phone?

[@ShadyMagus]

Lower left hand of the video with the timing overlay looks like it says RaceChrono Pro.

[@wolfurine]

Any chance you're gonna have a raffle/competition for 44Teethers to win this sexy beast? 🤔😬 Cheers guys 👍

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Mmmmmmm, could do!

[@wolfurine]

@@FortyFourTeeth Could always sell it to Apex66 if it's too much hassle 💡

[@chrishughes7315]

Great series lads 👌👌

[@JHallam77]

What’s the lap time app you’re using guys?

[@user-hi6bf2bd7j]

time for a full exhaust and unlock the ecu!! than its a monster

[@dean7991]

Great video series. As both of you are obviously different in height, weight, arm length etc, do you adjust anything to deal with this difference, or do you just run a compromise set-up? How much do you think the lap times would change by just 'customizing' the bike set-up for a specific rider?

[@davetalton6939]

Perfect timing on a Sunday evening.

[@petrolated]

I love what i’m seeing!

[@grachoderunwiderstehlichen]

this theme i like very very much "sir's" ! a motorbike full payed is hard to belive plus protection ...but the most "wannabe's" or proff. racers explain a stock product isn't good enough ...something else "where is booth'ys glizzer jacket?" and if he come back does it fit agian , after watching tt you both should bring him into "fat chat" 😁 ...

[@AntaresSQ01]

Seems yamaha suck at getting braking right, my 1290 GT is one of the most rock solid bike under braking, that front end is just beautiful into a turn, had a Tracer 9 and holy crap, had to dial the crap out of it to get it to stop shaking the back end under moderate braking... I know neither are outright sportbikes, but even the base MT10 I had for a while had the same issue, fishtailing back end... That bike even with dialing I just couldn't get right, front end always felt like it wanted to tuck under in turns too...

[@sinclair147]

You two should be on the stage "Sweeping it"🏍🏍🏍On the best ltr bike ever built, The "YAMAHA R1" great videos keep them coming!

[@brianwilson7476]

Just bought a R1 for track, stumbled on the channel, great content. I just enjoy video like this, 2 blokes that love what they do.

[@ktkace]

You guys really need to talk about how trickle down race tech makes riding b-raods more affordable, safe and fun... Nobody i know can afford a track day because of todays economic climate.

[@Tyrekickingwetdreamer]

Back off the spatula bobbins 2 turns👍

[@PCERules]

Very interesting series, given your expertise in the BBB series, have you considered trying to find some second hand calipers M50s? Now considerably cheaper since the stylimas came out?

[@stefankrol4034]

amazing video again. i have a question. would you say michelin cup 2 tires are performance tires? can`t wait for the next episode.

[@riderdie1603]

This is my favorite series by far!! Maybe I’m biased because I’m currently setting up my old sv for track.

[@Baz1000r]

What I like to do most on track. Is try and stay shiny side up. Great video and incredible, just how close your times are. Really interesting video. Thanks.

[@stevechampion7938]

Loving this series!!! Great vid!!! One day you guys might have a lighter lunch….. 🤣

[@theflyingyetti_666]

1 set of tyres cost the same as 42 fry ups, that’s 10 fry ups more than last year 😤

[@ryanj4758]

Are you guys gonna be taking the mirrors and plate/Indicators off. Would also like to see if a fancy front master cylinder makes any difference with lap time

[@maciejwyskiel184]

Another great video 🤙.What compound VO2 you used if I may ask?

[@jamescookson3192]

What a great feature. Loved the 2 bike lap, different styles, similar times. 👍🏻

Also, why haven't you removed the wing mirrors and rear tail? 😮‍💨
