My Abused Yamaha R1 Has More Problems | Track Bike to Street Bike EP.2

[@r1_fanaticbikelife213]

Use aluminum foil to cover the mid pipe when doing oil changes so u don’t get oil on it and done have to wait for it to burn off

[@512460]

Second this

[@SirTyron]

Thats exactly what I did after learning about it from another channel. Tinfoil works like a bomb.

[@HarryNoze]

Great tip

[@ruthlesstrades2184]

Was just about to comment the same. Works great

[@dennisgibb7958]

If you do your oil change right you don’t need lame hacks.

[@disekjoumoer]

The upper fuel injectors are probably what's causing the engine cutting out. There is a bike garage channel on YT (in German) where the guy often has to deal with R1s, and this seems to be the most common problem. The upper injectors open at about 9k RPM. He has a special pump to clean them in place, but you'll probably have to strip them and clean them.

[@dennisgibb7958]

Plausible issue if the uppers are clogged. Most likely issue is ELECTRICAL. Either in the harness to the ecu or some other add on. Since it was a track bike there has been some wiring creativity.

[@r1_fanaticbikelife213]

If the previous owner was using race gas and not cleaning the injectors after use than I would definitely check but if it was only pump fuel no so much the case. Doesn’t hurt to check since I personally don’t like to just eliminate someone’s theory on the matter.

[@UpsideDownFork]

This. We clean clogged injectors in an ultrasonic cleaner.

[@Automan9]

Doesnt make sense to me. It would just make less power since the bottom ones are still firing. This bike actually entirely cuts out..

[@disekjoumoer]

@@dennisgibb7958 The same YT garage (Stecher Motorradtechnik) has seen R1s where the side stand sensor was connected to the manifold switch!

[@mtnbkreric1]

Love your channel ❤

[@domenic_f]

Can’t wait to see where this series goes!

[@NVK85]

4:36 simple cooking foil over the headers will help to keep them clean )

[@aaa_batteries]

Sad to see some of the intermittent issues like it cutting out, but this bike is going to be 10/10 once finished! 🙌 Track content is always fun to watch, and that carbon fibre intake duct looks so sick🔥

[@FergardHS]

I have to say I'm a 35 y.o. dad of two kids, IT office guy, and fully casual rider with my CBR650R fullstock, who's servicing the bike at the dealership, and I fucking love your channel and your videos. I don't know what makes them so entertaining and fun to watch, but man - it's super fun and engaging. Thanks, CC! P.S. Make it Orange Metallic/Black.

[@22smcrrider96]

You killed it bro! 1st place in your class! 🥇🏆

[@spartanx169x]

Some of the best motorcycle content on youtube.

[@deanfeyt6953]

I had great fun with my S22's at Phakisa. Great tyres.

[@ChaosCauses]

Impressed me too. Tyres can easily destroy confidence but these had great feedback

[@Christopher_Hall]

I am really loving this R1 content!!! Can't wait to see more (3 weeks is going to also be a long wait for us).

[@thepsychicpeach8425]

the cut on and off is scary with that much power. Imagine coming out a corner hard on the apex and the bike starts doing that. Its gonna be welcome to Yamaha Airways Flight 847

[@cmx31]

I love this series. I have a KTM rc390 which too is an ex track bike. I had a similar issue with the it cutting out but more at idle rev range. Recently it got so bad that I experienced power loss like in the video. Turns out my tank was completely rusted inside as well as my fuel pump. This rust was blocking the filter causing a lack of fuel to the engine and delay with the throttle. I recommend that you take out the petrol in the bike now and syphon is through a fuel filter to catch any particles. This will might save you sometime before you have to remove the tank. If it is the case that your tank is rusted, you can get the inside coated with a special paint instead of needing to replace the tank. Sending live love from CPT

[@abhishekghosal4460]

I love to see people restoring these pieces of history to their original form.... Keep up with the work... More than cosmetic mods, modifying the internal systems to improve its performance is my kind of thing... Do consider this if you like.. Can't wait to see where this goes...

[@motobazuka2535]

I like how open and honest this journey is. This is pretty much what I expected from buying a flogged out track bike. If I was rich I'd buy you a fresh R1

[@jacksona654]

I really enjoyed every minute of this series! Can’t wait for the next episode!

[@1683clifton]

Your dead batery start reminded me of "chim chimney" that old move marry poppins.

[@loiblanche5863]

I would take the original yellow farings they beautiful. Love the video

[@Lupo2punto0]

You should get a polariser (CPL filter) for the Go3 next time you put it in the helmet, it will reduce the glare from the visor and should make for a better result.

[@TaiPassionGP]

4:40 Go to che kitchen and take some piece of square aluminum tin foil to wrap on the exhaust. Much more cleaner job without smelling worrying smells of burnt oil.

[@DarkHorse08]

All normal stuff for the bike you bought. Bike runs well. Your issues are purely cosmetic. And safety wired drilled bolts…..just leave them be. The aftermarket suspension on that bike cost more than your total replacement parts list. Enjoy the bike.

[@hum-3597]

loving this series bro, i look forward the next ep 🤙

[@covid-192]

This is a series I’m really excited about!

[@845racingworks]

@chaos causes you can still ride the bike on the track with trackday tires like the Bridgestone R11 and it won't cost an arm and a leg. But to each his own. Good thing you spoke to Morney at RedStar, I presume. He really knows the R1 and R6 and can help you setup that sweet suspension for the road setting you need.

[@denist1593]

I like videos when you have sportbikes , they suit you verywell :D Nice R1 btw ,can't wait to see it complete ;)

[@stephentalent]

Love this series. I’m even tempted to buy a ‘project’ bike. But given I don’t know one end of a screwdriver from the other that could be lethal 😂

[@tacomunch4016]

I had a stand alone quick shifter that was causing cut out issues, on my 2016 r6. It was very intermittent until it almost left me stranded.

[@WaRn00b85]

Sooooooo amped to see this transofrmation! Keep up the hard work bud! Cheers from Cape Town!

[@tiernosoldado]

Problems? I say learning opportunity! Thanks for the videos bro!

[@lackedchief6644]

Amazing how hot headers get after about 30 seconds of running. Accidentally knelt against mine once and looked down to see bare leg where my trousers once were, spent the next few minutes trying to get smoking melted nylon off the exhaust...🤣

[@sooyster4033]

Goin' all Maverick Vinales on us with that shifting problem. I see what you did there :D

[@Evo_Spec]

You should see if the track guys have some of the stock parts since they're probably often pulling these stock parts off to replace them with the race parts.

[@CyberChrist]

I like the red and white Haga-era livery.

[@kilian9448]

old school white with red racing stripes!!

[@jayonbikes4271]

I can't wait for the part 3🔥🔥🔥

[@heldemel2035]

your strip down - rebuild videos are the best!

[@greatkingrat]

Already subscribed but I changed the notifications to all. Pardon the pun but this video channel has really changed gear! The whole production is a lot better I reckon. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do.

[@Jackomo2011]

LOVE the increasing amount of videos! Cannot wait for more

[@armydog1002]

I liked it in race trim. I’m not a fan of black sportbikes, but for some reason, yours works. As far as your fuel cut-off goes, check your fuel line. It might be kinked. That’s what happened to me on my 2009 R1 when I would open it up on the track.

[@bear_moto6749]

I have S22s on my MT10, love them. I will most likely get them for my R1M.

[@jaydenhuang1473]

The anniversary yellow white black or may be custom grey or carbon with florescent yellow detail like Valentino Rossi used in his test bike

[@kangsokhaphirom801]

The color should be GYTR model. Really love it.

That looked like fun My fave colour is sky blue like the old Players racing cars with white accents/livery.

[@nikolager23]

The fuel pump problems had me in giggles hahaha can you show us how'd you clip on your instant go 3? Did you use the hat mount that was provided? I used duct tape to put it on my helmet idk how to do it as nicely as you did cheers ride safe! I'd love to have the 2020 R1 in the future currently riding the 2012 R1

[@MotoDash1100]

5:58 , Bro. You just sold me on that Go 3. I have debated using it and wearing it as a necklace so the camera is hidden from outside view, but uh.. would look like an odd bump, perhaps if I was a female and could hide the camera between two chest pockets that also contain random dollars, cigarettes, lighter, and whatever else people like waitresses stuff in there. Anyways.. but hiding the Go 3 in a helmet? THAT IS BLOODY AWESOME! I hope you seriously showcase how about you went mounting it there.

[@OneZoNinja]

Just so you know I got 12,000 miles out of my S22's in the rear and 13,500 miles out of my front tire which was also a Battlax S22. Needless to say Ive ridden in the rain with those tires literally dozens of times and never had an issue. I think they are an excellent tire type for rain to be honest with you. After the S22's I went with a much cheaper Kenda and a Shinko Advance in the rear and let me just say you get what you pay for. Great tire on a budget if you need one quick but you definitely dont get the same performance from the latter of the two pair.

[@K61r]

Try some of the michelin "definitely not slicks I promise" tyres at some point, they're unbelievable

[@RaulH43]

I have Bridgestone S22 in my Duke 390 and they are a very good tyre when it's raining, at least in my bike.

[@amith_kmth]

Yamaha's racing blue color or black (stealth look) would look great on your motorcycle ❤

[@Moose400ex]

I love watching these vidoes. I had an R3 last summer. Bought it smokingly dirt cheap. It was basically brand new. It inky had 2999 miles on it the day i put it in the bed of my truck. It still had stock oem tires with hairs on them! All for $3000 usd (i forget sometimes your at the bottom of the world!) I watched your last vid the road trip one with you and your GF. You need to totally come to Colorado and ride dude! None of that ridding on the wrong side of the road stuff here! No cops stoping ya and checking your papers lol. The Mountain roads here in colorado are killer, twisty and windy. Just mind the sand/ rocks in the corners from winter months. I sold the R3 in the fall last year and bought a brand new ‘24 honda crf450rl, basically street legal motor cross bike! Im gunna super moto it. And be able to switch back and forth of it want to do any off-road trips and dirt road riding. I miss the R3. It was a lot of fun. Quick, lightweight, and nimble. A great beginner bike. Id recommend one for anyone wanting to learn and get better! An r6 is just to much to learn on and an r1 is not for the faint of heart. I got my eye on a new Honda cbr500rr at the Honda dealer down the road here in grand junction colorado. Plan a USA colorado ride trip dude! It would be epic! You’d see and ride places and do things you couldn’t even imagine there in south Africa (?) Id take ya up Pikes Peak. The infamous Pikes Peak hillclimb road? Of oh ya, all the way up to 14,500 feet(ish) Theres more off road dirt roads and trails to ride than you could do in lifetime. Id take you on Schofield pass from crested butte colorado to marble colorado. Eat at the bbq joint and then ride back up and around thru ‘lead king basin’, all in an after noon. Go for a ride on CO highway 92 thru the ‘black canyon of the Gunnison from delta colorado thru Crawford and Hotchkiss Colorado across the blue mesa dam to Gunnison Colorado. Id be afraid you would be able to keep your eyes on the corners or the road! You’d be looking at the Mountains and the scenery and not paying attention to ridding! Look up some of these places! The rides are breathtaking. Colorado has it all. Desert rocky sand, forsest logging roads, sand dunes, high mountain passes and woods ridding, wide open desert ridding, twisty windy paved mtn 2 lanes, wide open 2 and 4 lane interstates that wind and snake their way over the Continental divide above 14,000 feet in elevation. Theres tracks, theres a track in Denver, CO Springs, and theres PPIR which is Pikes Peaks International Raceway which is well known. Not much into track ridding. More off-road ‘dual sport’. It makes sense to have a bike I can ride on and off the street, use to buzz around town and still get on the highways if i need to and go into town, thats why i sold the R3 for a plated street legal ‘dirt bike’. It checks multiple boxes and not stuck in just one category. Doing a supermoto makeover on it opens the door for more ‘street ridding’. Yet easily converted back by just swapping wheels and tires back and forth. Not to much trouble i say now lol. Well see what i feel after doing it a few times. The only downfall to COlorado riding is the short seasons. 3 month summers at most up at substantial elevations, which is anything 7,000 feet above sea level and up. Anything 9,000-10,000+ in elevation it can still snow 12 months outta the year! So being prepared anywhere you go is a must in Colorado!

[@ChaosCauses]

I’d be there in heartbeat if I found someone to marry for a green card lol

[@Moose400ex]

My point being you could just walk right across and they’ll hand you a green card/ 10 year visa what ever with medicaid, a drivers license, and a cell phone, food stamps, and government subsidized housing! There just one thing you gotta do tho! They want you to vote democrat!

[@OomGielie]

The miss matched tyres are actually okay. Ive seen many racers at the track run different brand tyres front and rear, including myself. Should have kept them on for the track day and then swap them man. but the R11 and Power cups do require warmers and alot of pace te keep the heat in them
