MAN FITS PARTS TO YAMAHA R1 | Road Bike to Race Bike

[@noudgoertz]

I am one of the ones that LOVES this stuff. Pretty cool to see how much more comfortable you have become with working on a bike, Chris. Everyone starts somewhere!

[@Daggerit]

Really like watching all the upgrades go on, and great to see that you’re able to do a lot of it yourself too. Look forward to seeing what you think of them on track.

[@CrouchyOnBikes]

Love it Chris, I’d have preferred to see more of the fitting action but I understand only possible when Al’s not imbibing at Glasto! Loving this project, can’t wait to see it back on the track.

[@archangeltwelv]

As a 2023 R1 owner; I love this series. Seeing what some people love and want to change and following the road to race route myself

[@code3ryder]

I agree, the more you do, the more comfy you get. I remember back in the day when I was scared shitless just to put a shim on rear shock to get some more height. Got to the point that I was able to tear new-to-me trackday project pretty damn far. Saves a lot of money and is very relaxing.

[@steverielly]

Bit of advice for the oil change....open the 'other' cap on the oil pan, which gives the airlflow to stop that 'bubbling' and oil spraying everywhere.

[@Anonymous-ro5fv]

Came here to comment this

[@sd5458]

My dude, I love working on bikes. Next time you do an oil change, open the other plug on the drain pan so that you don't have the bubbling shooting oil everywhere. Also - pro tip push upward while unscrewing on the oil drain nut in order to keep oil from spewing all over your hand. Wait until the last thread and carefully pull it away quickly.

[@DL180sx]

Love this content mate, its great to see what parts are out and about. I had no idea there were lock stoppers for example. Cheers!

[@hristo633]

For the record: I love this video with DIY stuff! You are not spending too much time on each part so it is quite satisfying to watch :)

[@martinfpss]

Mark me down as another one who LOVES these videos. Great content Chris! So good to see the bike coming together, doing an amazing job with it

[@chrispawlak14]

Good work Chris. Satisfying to be getting things done on your own . You got this ! Pawlak

[@TheJulioGeee]

Top work sir. Not going to lie, that satin blue look on the bike is bringing on a mild semi.

[@izzy8609]

I absolutely love following this series, seeing the bike change and grow into an absolute beast

[@dozer877]

Great video, genuinely interesting watching you work on your own bikes, we all love a bit of JHS but this was a treat

[@CESONER]

A nice finishing touch for a track bike is the pillion cowling, to replace that goofy passenger seat. I’m sure you already know, Baron. Since you’re a cool kid… Bike’s coming along well nice. I did many of these same upgrades to my 2022 SC-77. They ain’t cheap, but they’re right. Carry on, mate. ✌🏼

[@dermott87]

You won't need to go full race ECU. You can get the Woolich race tools flash on the stock ECU. 1:1 throttle map is a must as well as a tune since you removed the CAT. 👌

[@pablononpicasso1977]

That wrap is exemplarity lovely. Thanks for giving me an idea to fix some horrible dodgy pain on an F800.

[@shadowred1980]

Great stuff, like the nod to the 06 R1 sp with that colour scheme.

[@petethemod1]

The bike is looking gorgeous Chris, and bravo you for giving it a go yourself. 🤓👏

[@SeanMountifield]

I can’t see the reservoir socks in the merch store ? 😢

[@Liamsvids]

Yeah me too, ready to send the boys my ££

[@static369]

Love the blue! Looking awesome.

[@fuller9x]

Would like to see a breakdown of the budget showing what Stage-1 set you back in Spain and what Stage-2 cost to get you to Mugello

[@dscclay7084]

Top job Chris. These vids give bikers a good foundation of where buck for bang improvements can be made and a bit of mechanical knowledge. 44 Teeth channel has a great variety of content for everybody.

[@michaelrussom9347]

Really enjoy these vids, all part of the experience of owning a bike, riding it, working on it or just sitting and admiring it.

[@gcm747]

Nothing boring about this content! Love it! Some really sweet mods going on to the R1.

[@mickusable]

Looked on your merch site, can’t find the reservoir sock??

[@gerrievl]

that excalated quickly.... from budget upgrades to spending a fortune :D good to see ur having fun getting ur hands dirty and learning. as always its been a pleasure watching

[@mickenoss]

The gold fork legs look amazing on the bike, was half expecting the wrap to get the usual loud 44Teeth treatment though. =)

[@aarongraham7177]

That's like the best Christmas morning ever opening all those goodies. Good to see you using the spanners more!

[@boyle1990]

You are right about working on your own bike. Especially if it's an older one, you've got nothing to lose and you save a good chunk of change doing the work yourself.

[@gards17]

This is cool Chris, love watching these upgrades and your learning along the way!

[@bengoel5019]

Best content on youtube! I'm so excited to see this go round the track

[@WestCoastVisitor]

I get the previous videos showing step-by-step modifications and how each one effects the performance on track. With this one that idea is blown out of the water by adding loads of mods without testing each one in turn. It's like skipping to the end of the project without looking at the impact of some of the most important mods, i.e. brakes and forks, etc.

[@BRMCaptChaos]

I wasnt expecting all of that. That's a lot of stuff, and a lot of work we'd all think was done by fairies until you showed us. Stunning bike.

[@castro6966]

The build is coming out. Definitely change that battery and put a antigravity ATZ-7 it weighs in at 1.32lb and keep in mind that you are removing this weight from underneath your seat, which is at a high point on your bike. And some Vesrah SYJL XX brake pads

[@flatcapcaferacer]

Chris I hope your luck is better than mine when it comes to crashing right after putting on a bunch of pricey bits and pieces.

[@macc1370]

Haha…Always crash BEFORE putting the expensive bits on!

[@lukerichards970]

Great Video Chris, wrap looks mega! geek us up with gearing changes from stock sound interesting mate

[@Scenium]

I haven't had any bike since My Honda MT5 back when I was a teenager. Yet I still watch all of Your videos, after your channel appeard in My feed a few years ago. They are always entertaining to watch. Keep the videos coming! :)

[@Wats1984]

Really enjoy this tinkering style of content! Good colour choice with that wrap!

[@AnthonyYacucci]

I love these type videos. I do all my own work to my 2018 BMW S1000R. So it helps seeing how things get done.😊

[@normiesammie]

I mean this is awesome.. love it... very relaxing and informative as well i gotta say .... keep up the great work ....

[@lordnibs758]

Epic! Takes me back to doing my K6 Thou and upgrading it over a couple of summers. I learned so much, and now I'm not phased trying to try to do anything. plus the colour you have choice is absolutely bloody gorgeous!

[@ΝίκοςΚ-υ7θ]

Finally a really decent R1 project and not another “full carbon build” etc… awesome work sir!

[@Alic_R1]

Great series lads always looking forward to the next one

[@NexusVibee]

Hi Chris. With the buttons on the throttle side why not go for some billet style race buttons might extend the cable?

[@doomfathertm8771]

Ffs, my 7 year old daughter just walks in as I am watching this at 2:53 and I have to try and get out of answering "daddy what's a soapy tit wank"? I know this channel swears sometimes but I didn't see that coming.

[@mathiashammar1]

So your running a stock size chain Renthal R4 "525" . 4:06. No 520 moto gp chain :D Episode 2. 27 min into video you fitting a 3 tooth larger rear sprocket 44 -teeth (41stock) but keep stock front sprocket. So that means a bit longer gears in corners and final drive. Are you happy with gearing or you reduce front for better acceleration ?

[@marcosalvarenga75]

I loved the video! More of this! Thanks Cris! And cheers from Brasil!

[@robbown164]

I had a footpeg come off at 140kph in a turn because I hadn't locktite'd it. Aftermarket pegs for a superduke to replace the shit stock ones. That was fun.

[@Steves-Bikes]

Great vid. Good to see you doing stuff yourself and learning.

[@the_grumpybiker]

Loved it! Thanks for uploading. My next addition to the garage is an R1M so very interested in this series :)

[@jediknight1294]

It's amazing how used to stuff we get, that Arrow sticker/plate on the can just... Looks wrong coz I'm so used to one particular look. Sounds good though. The bar drilling be really careful. Secure and solid and rigid.

[@Vindaloobeast]

Looks really smart but you could do with just a dab of blue or green Loctite on the rearsets and other bits. My mates sprocket studs undid themselves on his MT10 and caught the swing arm. There was no Loctite on the studs which simply screw in unlike Suzuki which have a retainer. The studs now have red Loctite on them. Yamaha were not interested. Keep an eye on them Chris...

[@EVO_Engineering]

Love it. Fairings looking awesome, would have loved to see how the wrap job, how the foil edge ends on the inside.

[@kbeightyseven]

The colour is awesome!

[@robertclark5733]

Love it but an R1 has to in Yamaha America black and yellow!

[@robertclark5733]

Can't believe your comment hasn't got 1000's of likes!!

[@MrPADDYOT]

Bloody hell Chris, I'm well impressed with the spannering skills!

[@kingGar27]

Great video. Nice that you combined a few days work into one vid.

[@jondoe5532]

I would like to see you fit the ima adjustable triple clamps and give us some feedback on how it transforms the bikes steering, the offset can be adjusted in 1mm increments from 25mm to 31mm. It is a product that i am considering since the r1 seems to have some heavy steering and understeer for me.

[@castro6966]

Can’t wait to see the install for the quick change underslung rear wheel system

[@morganmartin9286]

I find these types of videos very satisfying to watch and that is one hell of a sexy bike ! Thanks for making my day 👍👍

[@nqobimaseko7380]

Awesome Vid, great parts! I can't wait wait to see it when it all comes together.

[@spoonowl]

Love watching the fitting of all the parts ! Keep it coming !

[@curtdog5109]

Bike looks epic with the added blue. Loved the video❤

[@kenwolfe5697]

Loved this video and seeing the progress of the R1.

[@silentassassin0843]

Bike looks fantastic, can’t seem to see the break resivour sock on the merch store ??

[@Blazemon9999]

Amazing to see how much your riding and wrenching has progressed in such a short time. Love this type of video!

[@Imreadingthisaloud]

Fair play lad, fair hustled that bike around. Sounds epic too!

[@shaunpritchard9476]

Great watch .. Chris is man with spanner, Chris will build awesome track bike , Chris will spend a fortune... looking class 👌

[@Mtool_CZ19]

normally I could watch a video like this for hours.. really cool Baron :D

[@nicoperso2]

Chris: brembo MC disappeared at the end of the video? back to OEM: was it because the corsa corta lever was too short with OEM right switch? I'll pick up the same bike tomorrow and it has to go to valencia on monday.. wondered whether I should bother trying to install the RCS from my previous bike or if I shouldnt bother as i'll have very little time ? clearance issues with the brembo? OEM clipons on mine..

[@rob1k8]

Great video. I love bolting bits on I did my own road - track conversion on my S1000RR learned so much doing it. Only downside is I’m now significantly poorer 😂

[@apexhunter4482]

Love a build like this! Actually loved the whole series so far. Can't wait to see it and you at Mugello. I am there for the whole of September...it's my spiritual home :)

[@poisonzombii]

I'm vinyl wrapping my friends r1 at the moment, it's going to look mint when it's done

[@georgea5335]

So I noticed a bike in the background. I mean the one on an ABBA stand with the green SAMCO hoses. Would be great to see some spannering action with the Kawasaki after you guys are done with the R1. Maybe as punishment Monsieur Fagan could put in some wrench time as well. To be fair he did skip the R1 build for Glastonbury. Or maybe just make him wear a Team Kwak t-shirt for 1 episode. Leave it up to you guys. Love you. 😁

[@CodyHalterman]

God im so happy yall are working on an r1. It is my dream bike and some of these parts im looking at buying for my 23’ r1 as well so this is great to see what troubles your running into and what to expect.

[@discflight]

That was fun dude! A whole lotta blingity bling 😊

[@marcusFZ6]

Great video Chris and you did very well on your own. Nothing better than doing all this type of work yourself to learn more about your bike. It's not quite as bad as you think it will be. Some bits are just time consuming rather than hard. Didn't miss Fagan and his Glasto-furrylovefest, hahahahaha. Can't wait to see the next instalment & the new colour.

[@robintownsend2041]

when refitting the downpipe connection, did you ensure the tabs lined up? else the tighteners can tighten into the bottom fin of the sump and work through, holing your sump. happened to my 2017 twice!!!!!! previous owner!

[@lices]

We love this stuff ❤❤❤❤ maybe one of ur best videos so far

[@irisgardener4141]

Every detail on this bike is beautiful.

[@MrBoggins1234]

Impressive doing the diy work, holding the camera whilst your compardre shoots up in a field, in Gloucestershire.

[@Clint_Moto34]

The new color locks sooo sick! Can wait for the next track video.

[@Dinkymod]

You don't like loctite? I'm curious what your reason is. I can't imagine not using it for certain things. Do you still use it when you want the security of bolts not coming off even though you don't like it?

[@Icemeister10]

This is cool, but one thing that was intriguing me is, at what point does it become cheaper to simply buy a ready made package from the likes of GYTR rather than upgrade a standard bike piece by piece like this?

[@AdamBarr-s5d]

What a video - well done Chris. That bikes lookin the nuts. X

[@myaccount6905]

Chris loves them iconic sports bikes… think I noticed an Aprilia SP, VTR SP2, MV F4 and a Duc 916 or 748… maybe try to find an 888 to add to that collection and you’re done…☺️

[@cfltitan]

Damn I LOVE the sound of the crossplane motor!! I’m really surprised considering the insane amount of money you’ve already thrown at this that you didn’t go with a high end set of Brembo calipers as well. Even M50’s or Stylemas would have been a nice upgrade.

[@laurencelagden]

Great video, really interesting seeing you go thru the same dilemmas as I did when I built my GSXR1000 K6 over lockdown.

[@dustyzj772]

Great video , im doing a lot of these mods to my 2022 R1 and this is definitely helpful thanks

[@karlsumner5594]

Love watching this sort of stuff!

[@kremlinfuize]

Great work mate. I hope you've ended up with a servo buddy or something when you removed the exhaust servo motor. You've probably found out by now if you didn't haha

[@vrfrys]

Love these videos, so many cool bits! It's great seeing the progress of the build

[@henrylewin7677]

This stuff is fantastic, can’t ride at the moment and I get to vicariously experience what I would be doing rn if I were able!

[@Daniel-gb9ex]

18:01 is that a GYTR clip-on in your pocket or are you just happy to see me ?

[@ShaunTriumph]

When you pull brake lever won`t the kink hit the switchgear , with brembo? Bikes a beauty .

[@hanhien1783]

I've been waiting for this video ever since the first video of series was up. Sexy build! Any chance you're giving away those stock mirrors btw?

[@togwilson]

More of these please. Loved it 👍

[@austinspacious1885]

Love these vids. Bike looks sick. Looking forward to the grand reveal 🥴

[@mikeemery8846]

Good stuff Chris, nice to see you get stuck in.
