6:36 i saw it, you cant hide it from me.. I SEE EVERYTHING!!!

Swapped grenade with the safe rotor 😆

[@LEGE7VD]

You make it look so easy! Props to you man. I took my 04 r1 apart in the hopes of working on in the winter but life happened and now it's at the shop 🙃

[@mateodiaz109]

Lol

[@interrogationfiles]

I did the same engine out forgot how to put it bk together 😂😂😂

[@EnterpriseXI]

Amazing how tough motorcycles are. If you know what your doing, you can get a crashed bike fixed relatively quick compared to a car

[@abhijitsonowal8633]

bruhh really? comparing a car to a bike?

[@alanwatts8239]

Wait until you find out that the frame is bent. lol

[@chrisbauman2562]

Cars suck bro. Bike life where it's at

[@raselsk7111]

​@@abhijitsonowal8633 *zw❤wwjj

[@Near2Future]

Dpeneds on a crash. You can't loop a car & if a bike slams into a guard rail. It'll be a write off as the frame will take alot of damage. Can only be welded by a pro if it's cracked.

[@gabrielfraenkel2473]

I love when people work so hard to bring bikes back to life. Thanks!

A 636 at 6:36 you're a dork. Appreciate the upload. I just picked up a 06 and I'll be doing a rebuild as well. You're inspiring me to make a video on it.

[@robertfletcher9761]

I was wondering if anyone else caught this lol

[@lanthan598]

it's honestly wild to me beyond belief that you can strip a motorcycle clean and know where all the wires, bolts and nuts and everything goes back meanwhile I'm too scared to even snip one wire off of my motorcycle lmao

[@alanwatts8239]

In all honesty though, if he screws up and doesn't remember where something goes he can always check the footage. lol

[@MrFPSWisconsin]

Once you work on them enough they are all so similar kinda like how it’s similar to guy a deer and a squirrel. Sure there are some differences but for the most part they all have the same parts

[@thebigoaktree8401]

Yeah he’s a bad bad man. He brought my 02’ 955i back from the brink of death when everyone else couldn’t or said scrap it. He’s the only technician that I’ll go to time and time again! Love this dude brah.

[@willieboy8798]

try being a race mechanic .... rebuild after a rebuild after a rebuild every race season....

[@NoReverse77]

Bikes are pretty easy when you’ve done it a time or two.

[@michaelb4060]

Fantastic work! I have that same bike in my garage and love it. Such a beautiful design and the exhaust under the seat keeps your butt warm on cold nights. Not so great on warm days, but nothing a shower will not fix. Thank you for bringing it back to its original beauty. Makes me want to take mine out for a ride.

[@rinchhana94]

of all the rebuild I've watched you're the guys i trust....i like the nice minute cleanup you've done......part replacement seems trust worthy.....love your video......keep making bike videos....... I've watched some of your videos for like 3-4 times like for same video to calm my mood and be satisfied.......loved from india

[@RKMotorsports]

Thank you!

[@thomasmorrison6068]

This is a phenomenal video for reference. I am actually in the process of doing the exact thing with 2005 R1. I got the bike back up and running and fixed the engine light issues. Now I just need to fix the brakes and work on plastics

[@verdeboyo]

That's damned good profit. The oldies are holding good value in 2022. I had the same bike and colour 10 years ago and think it is one of the best Yam gens ever. Great build Sir👍🏻

[@RKMotorsports]

Thanks Gio!

[@busterstyle6902]

Such a nice work! I brought my R1 2004 in 2010 and have it still now. I love this bike with all my heard. It was my dream and come true. It was such a pleasure 2 watch you working on this bike and i learn an important thing. I do the oil change every spring by my own but never before i fill up the oilfilter when i change him. I will do this from now on becourse i think it is better for the engine if the oil is faster where it have to be. So thx from germany.

[@blackmore6468]

This is better than any ASMR ever! Gladly subscribed, looking forward to more vids! That generation of R1 is, and always will be, timeless looking. It's only second to the Big Bang restyled version (only because they removed the glass from the headlights). It still looks better than any modern R1 !

[@RKMotorsports]

Thanks brother! plenty more videos like this to come! And I have to agree the styling of this bike is on point!

[@Asylum3D]

Just did a R1 for my brother that was in a fire. Injectors, wiring harness, plastic, fuel pump... People don't realize how much time you get invested working on these. That is why people shouldn't freak when you say the dirty word 'profit'. Yours turned out great and glad you made some $$$ on the job.

[@PMichaelS04]

This video was an absolute eye opener for me and an inspiration. This last week I took apart my 150cc scooter as a first project to try and fix it. Great start to bike mechanics though 🏍

[@THE-APEX]

Excellent job Rob. Came out so nice. Consider getting in the habit of hitting a timer, physical or electronic, whenever you start work on a bike to make certain you are profitable. Lets call those billable hours. Once you've done a few, you'll be able to measure those hours into how much you actually earn an hour and ultimately become even more efficient in your process to achieve greater profitability. Just a thought. Again, great work and you've inspired me to pickup my first damaged bike!

[@RKMotorsports]

Great idea with the timer, i'll remember that for next time!

[@kingofkings852]

I’ve done this to my 07 R1 after I hit a deer. Needed just about the same in rebuild/restore. While it was fun and I learned a lot with bikes (being a car guy my whole life) I must say one has to weigh what the cost in vs cost of the bike itself. Once you start buying OEM fairings, which they’re painted and is the only way to go, the price adds up quick. I mean quick. To fully restore my bike from a hit head on with a deer and road rash on one side it cost me around $2k in just parts. Most was OEM, several were aftermarket. And I did it all myself = $0 labor. So if you paid someone to do it then of course you’re looking at a way diff price. Take that and the price of looking around for another bike.

[@otiberino1926]

LISTENING TO IT WHEN IT TURNS ON IS LIKE THE CALM BEFORE THE HURRICANE 😂🎉😮😮❤😂😂❤

[@markosz22]

Wow that bike sounds amazing! So deep and smooth, not farty and crackly like what most have nowadays.

[@Isha048]

I can't believe what you just did! Great job! Thank you for sharing, I was watching and asking how can it be possible... and step by step it happened... amazing! When I was much younger I wanted to learn how to assemble and disassemble bikes, but it didn't happen and now it's too late. OK, let's see in the next life 😄

[@nkosiwalters2195]

Watching this video reminded me of those lifetime movies where things start off bad, but the movie closes with a happy ending. Thank you for giving this bike a second chance and a new home.

[@RKMotorsports]

Gotta love those lifetime movies! Always pulling through with a positive ending! lol

[@ask4george1]

Excellent video. I like the way you speed things up, just cut to the chase, stop talking, and repair the bike. That was awesome. I get impatient when they talk too much on a build.

[@waseemkhan0312]

Well done 👏 you made it like a new. The thing I appreciate that it cost you. 2454 usd sold it for 6000. That is great. You spent a decent time to make it like new. Well done 👏 keep it up

[@davidmacdonald7841]

Amazing results, well done to you 👌👍 Enjoy all the content, keep up the brilliant work 👍 watching all the way here in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@RKMotorsports]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@RealRickCox]

Wow!! You did a great job getting that bike restored!! I'm about to take on a 2007 R6 build. And I think I just might (accidentally) throw an R1 motor I have laying around into it. Whoops! LOL

[@j.a.r.family2576]

Just discovered your channel on this video. And I love it!!! Absolutely going to continue following.

[@sagarkamble4114]

Soo satisfying 😍 You're Amazing brother! I wish, I could do what you do.. That R1 is just dope now! Love from India 😊

[@RKMotorsports]

Thank you so much 😀

[@boostleakboys4387]

If you have a background in auto, these things just seem like oversimplified vehicles. Real easy and simple to work on. Spend 30 bucks on a a manual and you are off.

[@liontsbeast462]

Very awesome to see how well you can do that, that's what you call a professional.

[@thisisben3593]

But man, what a sick looking machine! I bleed blue and man you've done an incredible job

[@owen368]

[@armandomendoza4441]

That R1 style is the best bike from Yamaha

[@mrkthmn]

Phenomenal work on such a beautiful bike! Owning an ‘06 R1 is high on my bucket list. I love my MT09 but the ‘06 R1 bike just might be my all time favorite.

I am doing the same thing to an 06 r1. Cool to see another same gen r1 rebuild.

That is freaking awesome that somebody had a BRAND NEW gas tank from 2004 laying around.

[@MC909Garfield]

I Love the "Hooow that's satisfying" when you peel off the back of the tank's cover :) :) Hu' , Nice job , to reveal a bike like this you made an hard job and you made it nicely. Respect .

[@koosgabor4946]

Szép munka! Gyönyörű lett az R1!

[@ahmendy]

Great effort. I think the cost of refurbishing it was higher than the cost of buying one used and completed

[@rustytanks]

Traded my 04' in for an 07' V-Strom (old age) seeing this video I suddenly miss my R1, nothing moves you faster over the earth than a R1

[@whomi2379]

You guys did some awesome rebuild I'm an IT expert and bike fan so i think if I live in your country I would love to take an internship of your garage

[@LostLarz]

I remember when i still had my 03 r6 and i basically did the same thing damage wise and that gas tank was a pain to find Looool

[@frankiemarchese2978]

Nice!! Doing something similar now. Bought a 05 r1 with a locked motor for $900. Turned out to be the top end. I put a pretty good amount into but but am hoping to get around $6,000 like you if I’m lucky. Mine has 21k miles
