How to get the most POWER out of your ENGINE | With BSB Champ Taz Mackenzie

[@simonwoodrow9572]

Gees that’s lucky having a rummage around in the van and finding a full race system! I might have a rummage around in my garage see if I can find one aswell!

[@sidbobby3233]

Very fortunate that. 😂😂✌

[@davidlagno7717]

BEAUTIFUL!!! ❤ I WOULDN'T BE ME WITHOUT YOUR HISTORY! WAS READING "FAST BIKE" MAGAZINES 20YRS AGO. B4 KZbin 😮 I got my first set of Renthal grips, mags always came with goodies... miss those days.

[@RYU583]

I was installing brake pads on my Honda Grom and someone sent me the wrong sizes. I went rummaging through my van and found a Ducati V4R! Much faster now. Thanks guys

[@garyhutson6361]

Great watch. Love watching the full build. You budget is much higher than the standard budget lol.. exhaust, suspension, seat unit, labour, got to be £8000 ?

[@lold6130]

I think the suspension would cost a bob or 2.

[@MrJayjay0420]

One doesn't need a power commander or a Race ECU. There are plenty of excellent ecu flashes that work quite well with the exhaust. Literally, what 90% of people looking for more power do. I have seen the power gains with the R1 with an exhaust and flash.

[@BikesofRye]

I would have thought the biggest improvement would have been the exhaust? Removing all that weight from the bike and then having it plugged in and the restrictions removed and fuelling optimised? An expensive upgrade though

[@evanjohn503]

wouldn't it have been cheaper to start with an R1M and go from there or are they still sold in limited nos? Just had a rummage in the back of my van and found a Panigale so I'll see you there

[@anonimouse8918]

Thanks for more great content :-)...Good to hear Tarren say grippy seat and pegs were the biggest things. I've put stomp grip on my bike and got gripy seat to fit(under 100 quid) . If your not racing anyone who cares about 5 more bhp. I'm sticking with stock pegs ( my ones are high enough if you take the hero blobs off and I have sharpend the grips with hacksaw ( makes them a lot less slipy) ...cost zero. Although have spent 2k on suspension ( there goes the budget:-)

[@ergorydecueto]

Öhllins, Akrapovic... Sure very cheap!!! 😅😅

[@ChapoRR]

RIGHT. that’s another motorcycle

[@Deesboy08]

Where can I buy the GTYR race seat? Looks great!

[@louiebsides]

We kept budget low 🤔. Sure exhaust only would be 2 grand. Then only ohlins lol. Still really good watch

[@6arethevan5]

Properly enjoyed this, nice work guys and thanks for sharing...... Donington on Tuesday, bring on the track day season!! 😁🏍️👍

[@scoc253]

hope on the video there is a before and after lap with all the changes made to the bike. this is sick. 👌🏼🤙🏼🙌🏽

[@mikefoxtrot_svk]

ballistic on a budget they say... installing full akrapovic system later ..yeaaaah.. :D :D :D

[@jhstony]

Poor old Taz, Get well soon mate....

[@2002RM]

A little bit of a disappointing ending to be honest. When you make all these changes, there are a couple of things your audience wants to see. 1) What are the details of the changes and the effects they will have on the bike and 2) Compare the performance using actual references before and after the changes are made. Maybe you covered number 1, but not in much detail. For example, with all the changes to the weight, you didn't mention the final weight of the bike! How did it compare to the standard showroom weight? How much time could be contributed to the changes? If you categorise weight (loss) as a performance gain, it would be nice to know the specific effects on performance. Not just "it feels lighter and improves the handling". With number 2, okay difficult because you're not on the track. But if you did a couple of laps before changing the exhaust and then a couple of laps after, we could see how any performance gain translates to time. With Tas on the bike, I'm sure he could have put in a couple of reference laps. At the very least, it would have been nice to see how the complete bike actually fared on the track, other than just some nice stylistic shots. What was it like against the standard R1? Or a comparable bike on the trackday? Without some better references to the performance differences, it's literally just a lot of talking. I don't mean it to sound harsh, but my takeaway from this video other than "oh those parts look cool" was that I have no idea whether the changes were worth it. We don't even know what the final cost was!

[@patthonsirilim5739]

i mean that quite alot of money i see there new tires and race pads full ohlins fork and rear shock probally a ohlins steering damper full hel braided lines yamaha assories thrown at it race seats and rear cowl full akrapovic evolution exhuast and a tuned this have to be more or less 8000k

[@crossplaneloverkuldeep93]

I think Silverstone circuit is the best track who love speeding

[@evolutionautodetailingcera3029]

Can you please tell me where you got that exact exhaust I want that for my r1 not the road version

[@محمدمهدیمحمدی-ه6ه]

R1 is the best

[@Focused_Veteran]

Gearing makes all the difference on the R1 I'd suggest this order of mods Strip road crap Change gearing 15-42 Race fairings -sell oem Rearsets and clip ons Remove abs Exhaust and reflash Job done.

[@2002RM]

What about airbox/air filter? These are inexpensive. And at the very least you need decent suspension. I would actually put suspension at the top of the list. Yes, expensive but it will bring more skill gains and performance gain for every other change made after it.

[@Focused_Veteran]

@@2002RM if you're racing, yeah suspension will make a difference, but for your average track day rider, I've not met many at all that can honestly say they are limited by their current suspension set up, especially on new bikes like R1s etc.

[@Focused_Veteran]

@@2002RM in regards to filters and airbox, the added performance you'll see from them is tiny, again, for most, extracting even the stock performance from a standard modern 1000s bike is an issue, any increases to power go wasted because they simply don't have the current ability to use it. The reflash I suggested is purely for riderablity, especially on the r1s where the throttle connection is so twitchy, having a reflash smoothes it out and helps loads with picking it up mid corner.

[@2002RM]

@@Focused_Veteran Then they don't know their bikes well enough. I don't have the new R1 so I suppose the factory suspension maybe good enough for most.

[@2002RM]

@@Focused_Veteran Fair enough. I think you're referring to the fairly casual rider though. I thought these series of vids were pitched towards those who were really looking for performance out of their track bikes. Okay maybe not going racing but good enough to know where improvements are needed. Definitely not newbs or casual riders.

[@gapmandan-ttv6408]

Not thrown a lot of money into it 😂😂

[@ChumiStu]

Please tell me you can win this in a fast bikes mag competition…?

[@stevedavies1261]

2-3 hp from an exhaust and air filter....Hmmmm, 200hp stock that's 1% to 1.5% gain for how much money??? I bet it's a tad more than 1% to 1.5% of MSRP, right????

[@2002RM]

It's not 200hp stock I don't think and the biggest advantage to the change is opening up the range of performance. Flash, re-map, etc can gain more. You can't do those without upgrading the exhaust. Sure there are other exhaust options too which might be suitable. Still even if it was 10hp gain, I don't think that's the main benefit. The ability to tune the mapping and get more midrange or sit in the bike's sweetspot with the right gearing can take seconds of a laptime. For a trackbike, value of mods should be measured by how much time you save (or better reliability).

[@stephenlacey653]

Unfortunately for me and most, the word ‘budget’ doesn’t have the same meaning as yours, good vids though 👍

[@theflyingyetti_666]

My R1 has got everything on it, then I get on and it all goes to shite 😝

[@jamest5149]

Glad your not changing the OEM air filter, neglable gains (1-2 bhp on most) and a airbox and engine full of dirt and dust… it’s not worth it unless you need those 2 bhp in racing (not track use). For some unknown reason it’s what everyone seems to do… When I see a ‘race’ filter I throw it in the bin and put a standard filter back 👍

[@patthonsirilim5739]

get one form bmc sprint or K and N there pretty good and you can always re oil them

[@K-carbon]

@@patthonsirilim5739 A sprint P-08 air filter I suggest no oiling needed can be cleans with compressed air or mild soapy water and will out perform both a K&N and BMC air filters

[@K-carbon]

How many has such an expensive exhaust in there van 😄

[@Speedracer155]

Why no real calipers!?

[@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou]

I wonder if he knows what Kay Gees actually means?

[@kmac5849]

For not a lot of money🤔🤣 well how much ? !

[@tracktime1196]

Budget!!!??? What a load of BS for starters I don't know many average people that buy a £15k bike just to do trackdays then shell out another £7-8k on parts?

[@malcolmbates4563]

Budget my ass... you have money falling out your pockets

[@DirtGearTv]

"How to get the most engine POWER!" - changes gearing, seat and brake pads 🤦‍♂️🙃

[@mrslunker]

Budget my arse

[@sophonchan4402]

How to get the most power out of your engine ? That’s easy….buy an aprilia

[@thengine7]

Yeah, this is a ridiculous video. How about you show the retail price of all the parts, and then add in what a mechanic shop would charge to install it all? Oh golly gee, it's 10k?! Who could have guessed? This is just an influencer video showing off how they get special treatment above the rest of us.
