Yamaha R1 Intake Flap Removal & Delete! A MUST DO for your Air Box!

[@KHIJAPAN]

The question is why Yamaha put those parts there? This is the first question you should ask before removing anything on an R1 or R1M. Parts are weight and on Superbikes are always a no-go zone. There must be something more advantageous than the weight to force Yamaha engineers to put it there. Firstly, engine needs more air than the small duct can provide, when it revs over an X number of revs. At lower revs it doesn't need that max volume of air. THAT PART IS NOT RESTRICTING THE VOLUME OF AIR. THAT FLAP OPEN AND CLOSE TO INCREASE THE SPEED OF AIR ENTERING THE AIR BOX!!! YOUR BIKE WILL BE SLOWER AT LOW SPEED BECAUES YOU REMOVE THIS FLAP. You are good on screwing and unscrewing parts, but that's your limit in engineering. Good luck

Then why would the McAms World Superbike Yamaha mechanic remove this flapper on all their race bikes? There’s a video of him doing it. Go on KZbin and type in how to get the most power out of your engine lighter , its a 3 part series by FAST BIKES with 2021 world sbk champ Taz Mackenzie and his McAms Yamaha mechanic remove this flap. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWKrYoyogKaLaKc

@@TrickRacing You said it. They race the bike, not for street use. Racing bikes are not for road use because of the way they build them. Like for example, removing the flap...

[@TrickRacing]

@@KHIJAPAN true

[@AaronMcKeel]

Agree 100% - I work for an engineering firm though we don't work on engines we still put a lot of resources into establishing the best process for the application. Removing a process needs to be carefully considered, weighing the pros and cons, then testing the said proposals. I also have an R1, I have done many modifications to the exhaust system, and the ECU for track purposes, but I would never remove this part without serious consideration and testing. Additionally, think about the next person who will buy this bike are you going to keep the parts if they want to revert back to stock or just let them guess why the bike is so sluggish at low speeds?

[@zilch3791]

I love that you show full process

[@300blkaac]

Wow that’s a lot of work, I’ve heard you can just reach up the intake funnel and break the flapper right out

[@cbr1thou]

Man crazy

[@jeremyh172]

I did this. I put a bore scope up there from the front and took snips and snipped both sides of it pulled it out. Took me 10 mins.

[@shakezula6388]

Hey man, not using it to remove my flap but to replace the intake due to it cracking at the frame. (Don’t bring down wheelies to hard 😅) I appreciate the video showing how to remove it!

[@jeremyh172]

I can save you hours of time. Get a cheap bore scope and a long pair of cutters. I just watched the camera feed and cut it in two spots and pulled it out. Took me 10 mins and 5 of that was looking for a pair of cutters.

[@hezzryhmoe1509]

What is this removal for?

[@Dizon_G]

I know I'm late to the video but I just picked up a 2022 r1. I like a lot of the parts you got. Thanks

[@MotoViceOfficial]

No problem 👍

[@bedlinerveterans2318]

Wow, I did the valves on my 06 R1, shimmed a few and this looks like a bigger job lol

[@MotoViceOfficial]

Definitely not easy but also not too hard. Just takes a good bit of time!

[@oscarmeliansuarez75]

Hi , good tutorial :). Have you noticed better engine response since you made the modification?

[@Doc_on2s]

Love the build series. I have a 2021 myself. Not sure if anyone has already asked this but can't Bren tuning tune the ecu to just leave the flap open? Or is removal necessary to achieve desired airflow? Thanks.

[@MotoViceOfficial]

So since this is controlled through vaccum from the motor, I dont believe it can be turned off by a flash/tune. When i got my tune done at a local shop in So Cal, they high recommended removing it.

[@scjdiving7067]

Yes, they did it for me on my 2021 R1M

[@whipMaNpleaserun]

@@MotoViceOfficial hey bro ik I'm late but what all should I get if I want to increase air intake ik I'm should get a aftermarket airbox but what else is needed I'm not experienced with motorcycles.

[@twowheelsr6]

Im getting those bar ends. I need to reduce my r6 vibration for sure

[@MotoViceOfficial]

I love them! They definitely reduce vibration and help on longer rides!

[@twowheelsr6]

@@MotoViceOfficial thanks man. Keep up the good work. Definitely need them

[@MisterWide-ng6qj]

Where the heck is the air temperature sensor? Why is it missing?

[@Tha1mikemike]

Thanks for this! Are you going to go through Brentune for an updated map for the flap removal or getting it tuned at a local shop on the dyno?

[@MotoViceOfficial]

Not sure which direction yet. Spent a lot of money on the Dyno with the previous R1.

[@half_blaked33]

Kind of of topic but.. whats your opinion on a hard break in for a new bike ? Did you baby yours or ride it hard?

[@MotoViceOfficial]

Ehhh, for me presonally I definitely stay on the softer side up until 600mi and then at about 800mi, I feel its ready to go. Yes they redline them at the factory prefor shipment, but I personally think that it makes sense to ease the piston and rings in properly at an incremental rate of load.

[@half_blaked33]

@@MotoViceOfficial I've watched a few videos and I know everyone has their options on the matter. For me I have no self control ha so I've already had mine up to about 150 in 6th gear 😅 it has right under 300 miles at the moment. I've never redlined it or anything but I don't just putt around in the low rpms all the time. I do tend to short shift alot. But just wondering. Ill be getting my first service done at 600 and I guess we shall see. 🤞

[@travishamilton9732]

Legend mate Love your work very informative, Well Done 👏

[@michalbaran3088]

So what do block off plates do?

[@MotoViceOfficial]

Block of plates just help the tuning the bike on a dyno, they dont really do anything in terms of performance.

[@fredflintstone4087]

Wow! That’s a big job!

[@MotoViceOfficial]

It definitely was and harder to film at the same time 😂😂

[@HarmlessP0TAT0]

i like how all the haters hate you but in the end they prolly still watched the whole video..... you do you bro. nice bike

[@cbr1thou]

Rage is the goods

[@IanSamos]

Hi bro can you help me out to put back 20 r1 body I can’t doit I’ll pay you I’m van nuys i can come to you

[@FlaGatorL]

I messaged you about those parts

[@MotoViceOfficial]

Let me check and I will get back to you shortly!

[@Ronnie_Barber]

what year bike is this?

[@MotoViceOfficial]

2020

[@travisburnett120]

You should Not do this mod. Any educated tuner will tell you not to do this. This guy has no idea what he is talking about.

[@foodmaniac9339]

I've never seen any tuner or rider doing this to the bike. Of all the KZbin videos of R1, this is the only one I have seen

[@aldrichhalili]

I have the same bike. Would you be willing to to do this job for me if i paid you?!?

[@MotoViceOfficial]

If you are in LA sure.

[@aldrichhalili]

@@MotoViceOfficial San Diego but I can travel

[@MotoViceOfficial]

@@aldrichhalili Ok let me get out of my cast from surgery and we can talk!

[@youradhere6204]

the Japanese tech is more advanced than yours no doubt. they put that there for a reason. Higher pressure maybe.

[@PeacemakerPL]

So, You think You are smarter than Yamaha’s engineers? Ok…

[@MotoViceOfficial]

Nope not at all.

[@rocknraptor3195]

They have to abide by laws these days.... Pollution\exhaust emissions & also noise emissions. Do you think this would affect one of those?🤔 Seems a smart guy like you would know that!
