Motoholders 15-17 Yamaha R1 Fairing Stay Install | Sportbiketrackgear.com-

[@barbaphoto]

I just bought this Motoholder's high quality aftermarket fairing stay for my 2016 R1M from STG. I could've spent around $50 less on a another aftermarket manufacturer's high quality fairing stay. I am loyal to STG for many reasons. Firstly, their customer service and company policies are unparalled for a relatively small company who's margins are tight. Next, I like them for the passion the sales/techs people have when chatting with them about the best solution for my bikes when I call them with questions. Finally, and this is less quantifiable yet maybe most valuable, is the amount of damn time and money that I DID NOT WASTE by watching Brian's videos! I can only hope Brian keep's them coming! Thank you Brian and I thank you all at STG!

You are welcome and thank you for the order as well as taking time to leave this comment! I will be doing these videos for a long time, it is a blessing to be able to work at something you love everyday. - Brian Van

Thank you so much for this video my OEM fairing stay cracked on my 17’ R1 and watching this video along with your explanations helped me make my decision on my new assembly! I subscribed👍🏽

You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van

[@merc7paul]

yo i swear the OEM ones keep cracking, I just replaced one wheni got it last year and it cracked again, surprised i'm not hearing much about it anywhere in the forums and such

[@simojoundy6769]

I noticed comments saying that they made the part stronger for street riding to hold mirrors and headlights, but when i contacted them they said that their part is not made for street riding. Interesintg.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The part is not made for street riding. That said people do what people do and use it on the street as well as the track. It is a track only part. - Van

[@maxtran6500]

for those who concerned, this will NOT fit your road bike, it will get in the way of your headlight assembly. To be able to fit, you gotta modify it by trimming the fairing stay's nose tip.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Thanks for sharing. We have not attempted to install this on a street bike. - Van

[@welingtonreynoso789]

Very helpful video. what I will like to know if any engine light going to show up with the new installation? Thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This should not cause any check engine lights. - Van

[@yamipizza8357]

My OEM one broke on me so I am considering getting this one assuming it works all with OEM fairings and whatnot? OE duct work is barely cheaper than this so I figured why not but the little close-out panels are necessary in my opinion and idk if I have the creativity to make a bracket.

[@merc7paul]

It broke in me twice, did you get this one?

[@yamipizza8357]

@@merc7paul No I just got the OEM one. Didn't want to chance something not fitting. I've been through two as well. I think next time I will just get the carbon one and say screw the little panels.

[@luisduran4053]

@@yamipizza8357do you happen to have the part number for the oem stay?

[@warmech2125]

You'll love it . The oem duck break easily . I did it twice and expensive to replace and hard to find a used one. The motoholders subframe should be next its a little heavier then stock but it's durable .

[@manrayr1]

how heavy is stock?

[@johnb4445]

Absolutely gorgeous piece of kit

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you own an R1 with race body work you need this IMO. - Van

[@-DC-]

Fantastic product Brian looks a much cleaner set up.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The end result was exactly what I was looking for and would recommend this to anyone who has installed race bodywork on their 2015-2017 Yamaha R1. - Brian Van

[@r1raulito]

Okay so install is coming along great. What to do with the vacuum hose? Could you be more specific?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This eliminates the flapper so you no longer need the hose. - Van

[@r1raulito]

@@sportbiketrackgear Love this R1 build. Did you ever do a video install on power commander? I saw the ECU Flash video.

[@paintballmonster24]

Great video and i love you guys, question tho could I utilize this for street purposes? I need to replace my airbox because it got damaged and thought I might as well upgrade

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Yes we have had a ton of riders use these on the street. MotoHolders actually made it a little stronger for this reason. - Van

[@menace2society310]

With all the different exhaust modifications, you'v done. how come you never added a power commander to the motorcycle? Can you guys do a power commander install video?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I used the FTECU flash tune on this bike as I feel it was the best option out there for the R1. Here is a link to the listing on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/flashtune-ecu-type-18-bench-tuner-kit-yamaha-yzf-r1-15-17/ There is a video in the listing. - Brian Van

[@jefftaylor6487]

Brian are you throwing a code because the flapper solenoid is disconnected? Thanks!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The bike did not have an engine light. - Van

[@zbyh2011]

Any mesh or grill to clean air from bugs and track debris? The stock has a grill for that purpose. Any thought on that? Thank you.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

IMO the grill is not necessary, you have an air filter in the box to keep the debris out. I had ours apart several times after installing this and never found any issues. - Van

[@A_Man_Named_Mark]

Hey Brian, first off, thanks for all these videos. I've used them to do everything on my 16 R1 from installing my full Ti Graves kit, smog block off plates, and setting up my ftecu bench kit (the only thing I couldn't find a video for was my active tune, but it was easy enough). So please keep up the great work! Quick question about this part... I went on to your website to order this piece for my R1, and it says it's a race only part. Just curious if there is any certain reason why it can't be used on a road bike? I have an 06 R1 I use for the track, and my 16 is just more of a fun/show bike. I've done a full carbon fairing body, and would like to add this part to finish it off. Obviously if this piece won't work on road fairings or something like that, then it makes sense. But wanted to check with you before I ordered it. Thanks again!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The carbon model has been beefed up to carry the headlights so you are good to go. We just updated the listing to make note of this. Thanks for watching the videos and I am happy to hear they are helpful! - Brian Van

[@derrickwing7969]

@@sportbiketrackgear so I should be able to install my light assembly to this MotoHolder no problem then?

[@wrxzboost]

stupid question, but i'm halfway through this install...but where is the MAF sensor located? i don't recall seeing it on the stock air duct, unless i missplaced it.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

It has been a while since I worked on this bike. That said following the steps in this video will get you the result you need. - Van

[@eduardonunez5058]

Hello it produces some error when disconnecting the ways with the diaphragm and solenoid, leaving only the sensor ??? Or check is turned on, in which it helps to modify this piece, I am interested

[@sportbiketrackgear]

We did not have any check engine light on our 2015 after installing this. - Van

[@DumpThaClutch]

I bought this piece for Yamaha r1 and I'm struggling with the install the 4 big bolts with the metal spacers that attach it to the frame. Do NOT line up 100% like oem and I can only manage to get 3 of the 4 bolts in the holes I've been pushing and forcing trying to get them to fit for 2 + hours and I'm stressed out exhausted. Don't know what to try next. I'm really scared I've worn some of the threads in the hole on the frame for one of the bolts .. 😔

[@merc7paul]

Anyone else keep finding the OEM air intake/stay keeps cracking? no wonder the new 2020 ones are made of metal, without this part the fairings start shaking abnormally

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The OEM one on my bike was fine when I took it off and this Motoholders did not have any issues. If they started making it out of metal rather than the plastic odds are they were trying to correct an issue. - Van

[@merc7paul]

@@sportbiketrackgear it seems to break around the 1 year mark, I ride year around and in spring fall it gets really windy in Toronto wonder if it introduces additional stress

[@slickriderdan]

Yea mine cracked on both sides and bounces really bad on bumps and whatnot, gonna consider this but not carbon fiber 😅

[@grandtaino]

Hey Brian or Max have you done this replacement on a 2021 gen R1M ?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The install is the same on the 2021 as it is on the previous models. - Van

[@trillabp3971]

Brian where can i get those brackets so i can insert the panels next to forks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I made them out of an old horn bracket I had laying around. If you have the horn off your R1 use that bracket. - Van

[@trillabp3971]

Sportbike Track Gear thank you!

[@edrei2u]

Thank you brother! U saving me alot if $$$$

[@LouCFur90]

Have you run this bike on a dyno yet? It would be cool to see if you could get it cleaned up and maybe get more out of it.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I may do this in the next couple weeks before I sell it. End of the day the bike makes more power than I can use and lays it down smooth so I never felt the need to do this. - Brian Van

[@r1raulito]

What happens by removing valve flap and flap? Looking to buy this for R1 18. Thanks.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

As I understand it this valve and flap are designed to help reduce noise levels. You will not notice any real difference and the intake will now be unrestricted. - Van

[@r1raulito]

@@sportbiketrackgear I'll be buying this soon. Thanks!

[@crossplane9894]

Brian I am about to purchase this from you But first I have a few questions. My stock duct already has had the air flapp removed so upgrading to this unit will better air flow be had? Is it a tad bigger better flow. And will this work with my stock fairings and headlights is the next big question

[@sportbiketrackgear]

There are a lot of riders using this on the street with their lights and such. Motoholders had to beef the thing up so it would hold up on the street. As for the air flow you should get a little more than with the stock bits. - Van

[@sjmonty19]

Did you have to reset your tune on the bazzaz from the less frictional losses due to the removal of the flapper?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I have a Flash Tune done and did not reflash. Just rode it last weekend and it ran no different IMO. If there is a difference I could not pick up on it. - Brian Van

French amator here, working on a Triumph Daytona 675 2007. Congratz for the vidéo Nice tuto. Nice shop. Asking a question : How do you take out the rubbers from the stock fairing for reusing it on the aluminium fairing ? Without breaking it of course ?

[@FiiM]

Sorry, wrong vocabulary. I mean the front subframes.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I am not very familiar with the 675 so I won't be much help to be honest. Normally you can push the metal busing out of the rubber grommet and then push the grommet out. Not sure how the 675 is set up. - Brian Van

hey, am i able to use this along with the stock headlight assembly and stock front fairing?? and is it possible to get the long air duct with the black stay? please let me know asap so i can order. thanks

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would not recommend this part for street use as it is designed to carry the weight of the race bodywork without headlights. As I understand it they are working on a version to manage the weight of the headlights. Please email us direct at [e-mail] and the team can look into this further for you. - Brian Van

[@KneeDownRider]

I like the DB Holders one much better. Is less expensive, and bolts to the frame with aluminum. Still has a fiber duct. The MotoHolders is less durable and more expensive.

[@mreyes2633]

I had the same issue, I ended up shaving the hole on the carbon duct to line up with the hole

[@thatfishbreeder]

Hello. Do you still use the DB holder? I am considering the DB Holder option instead. How does it work for you? Durable? Fitment with Stock fairings or race fairings?

[@slickriderdan]

I checked this part out on the website but says its not for street fairings but in comments you said it is compatible, any help?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

It is designed for use on the race track but we have had several riders use this on a street bike. Motoholders actually beefed up the design in response to street riders using it to help carry the weight of the headlights. - Van
