Great video. Thanks for sharing the fixes with information on why the items caused problems and what you bought to remedy them.
Would love to get this beautiful bike man.
Same bike as mine. Ive gold marchenisi & over exhaust system 👌
Gorgeous, I have nearly identical, everywhere I ride, people gawk, and complement the bike.
I was riding a 98, bought new, until July 22, in September I bought an 05 used, RED, with the Devil slipons and the exup, intact.
Did it have chrome wheels?
2005 in red original owner here. They are FAST already. I did a 10.04 at dragstrip stock. Save your $$$ for tires and practice. And maybe a clutch eventually, lol. Bike is a beast right off the floor.
What type of tires do you recommend? I just got and r1 with Diablo rosso 3
depends on how you ride.. Rosso 3 are a good soft tire, so they will have an excellent grip, but will wear down fairly fast. Michelin Road 4s are good for mostly all road/highway riding - longer life.
Perfection
04 best looking r1 over all
I would say the 2004 - 2008. Cool that they went with the Crossplane but made the side fairings so ugly in 2009.
The best!
@@captainamerica9353 07-08 best R1 ever made! anything that was wrong with the 06 was corrected in 07
The EXUP valve has nothing to do with emissions. It regulates back pressure and boosts midrange torque. Eliminating it is not the best idea unless you just want a loud system on the bike.
Good call, thanks.
Not When you get a full exhaust you don't need it that's what a tune and power commander are for
@@odidy2127 exactly the full system plus ecu flash and a nice tune is a lot better than that stock "exup system "
@@fishmonger3796 but do you get that low end torque back with that tune? Eliminating the backpressure might not be fully remedied with a tune. From what I've read, full systems give more high rpm hp but can't give you the low end torque you get with an EXUP.
@Christopher Nuzzo too right ✅️ , uprating an exhaust system is always a compromise, quoted gains are usually aimed @ gigh up in the rev range, everything has a price & its @ the cost of low / mid range . They don't often show you losses . The sweet spot is a half system from exup back to keep the exup then a power commander, & a map . Its the best all round.
But then again if its a track bike & you only keep the bike above 8k rpm , then yea full system all the way . But for fast road use gotta leave that exup in place
Great looking bike eho did u have air fuel mix done when installed block off plates need that done seattle wa
I have a power commander on the bike, so I tweaked the map a bit. I read that it helped to lean it out a bit up to 5k, if I remember correctly. I can pull the map up and see exactly what I set it to if you are interested.
Hey man, I just bought a 2005 r1 that's also red. I also live in Michigan would love to come and ride with you some time next year.
Congrats on getting an awesome bike! Just let me know when you want to ride out. =)
Caleb Ford congrats man. There's an 08 cbr600rr for sale near me and also a 04 r1. The r1 is $500 less. I'm stuck between deciding which to buy. I started on a Yamaha r3 for a few months and I occasionally ride my friends gsxr1000 just fine. Which bike would you guys recommend?
If you can afford the insurance go with the R1, granted that it’s in decent condition. How many miles on both bikes and what mods do they have?
MotoMaximus the Cbr has 20,000miles. Yoshimura exhaust,Custom grips, and shorty levers. The r1 has 18,000 miles. Two brothers exhaust and levers. I'm not sure if it has power Commander. The r1 is from a dealership. The Cbr is private owner.
I think the R1 would be a better option as long as it’s clean. For reference, I got my 04 for $5k with 8k miles, with some of the mods you saw in the vid (private party).
installing that kawi led relay necessary for the flush mount signals to stay on?
Naw, the relay is for the flash speed, it makes the lights blink at a normal speed.
Just make sure you have the 3 wire signals. If you get the 2 wire, those do NOT have “running light” capability. They will only flash when turn signal is engaged.
What is the current mileage of the bike. Did you change the generator rotor with updated one. I heard that old type of rotor have problem with magnets, they tend to fall of the rotor and mess the stator, magnets are glued inside rotor. It is advisable to change the rotor bearings too. Yamaha never recall this and they installed same type of generator rotor into 04-08 R1 and FZ1 up to 2014. Another thing is starter motor, it get dirty inside from brush wear, hard to start when engine is hot, real pain in the ass to pull it out (must remove throttle bodies) and put i back in. Two components poorly designed by Yamaha.
The bike is onto the new owner, a friend of mine, and he’s at 19k miles. No issues this far.
New owner here! Just passed 19k last week. No issues, I’ve taken the cover off and to my (untrained) eye, everything appears to be on spec
I just bought a used 08 r1 & the stator cover has been off & resealed with black gasket sealer & i guess reading your comment makes sense now that it had previously failed , or mayb replaced before a failure, mines @ 22k miles . Cheers
Awesome r1 I have one on blue where did you buy those frame sliders?
Should be avail on RevZilla still… look for Woodcraft sliders.
I feel like the front blinkers are not as noticable to other other drivers as the ones that stick out.
It's a fair point, I use hand signals in addition, when practical. I've seen a mod the turns the upper fairing running lights into turn signals.
@@maximilliancunningham6091 yup I installed that mod, love the looks of them when they light up
Bro I wanted to ask you regarding this R1 2004,how is the clutch pull on it?
I had a gsxr600 k6 ,clutch pull was not so nice…hard,brought it to service,they said everything ok with clutch,my wrist is fucked up only looks like,thats why I am asking xD
The pull on the 04-08 is much lighter than the following generations… I’ve owned the 2012 and now 2021 R1 and the pull is miserable. I ended up installing the RSC stunt clutch lever which made it so much lighter and better. I highly recommend you doing the same.
@@MotoMaximus thanks for quick reply!♥️ will do that!
Clutch pull is light, and cable, too!
Will the bike still turn on without that plug? My bike wont turn over after i replaced my full exhaust.
Yes, bike will start up fine. Do your gauges work or no power to them? If no power, check your battery connections. If the bike turns on but won’t crank, double check if there is a wiring issue with your power commander (I assume you installed that too). Make sure the power wires from the power commander are connected to the battery and it’s plugged into the wiring harness.
@@MotoMaximus right now light turn on. Battery volt is at 12.9. All i did was replace oem with full titanium exhaust. The exhuast plug is disconnected i dont have the exup plug. Battery seems to drain down to 7 volts when i try to crank it from 12.6v. I drove it before with oem exhaust an hour ago more then 20 miles with no issues. First battery issie
very strange…. I can confirm that not having the exup plug should not prevent starting. Give the battery a quick charge and see if it started then…
@@MotoMaximus thanks. It was the battery! I charged it to 13v and it started. Strangest thing. Might be getting a new lithium battery or something. Thanks for the quick response. Ima sub to you my guy. If you wanna check my new Motovlog im just starting please do! Sub!
Good to hear you got it going. Get that plug to get rid of the check engine light, when it comes on. Thanks for the sub and I will sub you back.
Bro does this model has a quick shifter ?
Not built in, no. Have to purchase the set up separately $$$ ☝️$$$
@@MotoMaximus and it doesn't need it if you learn to clutch upshift fast. Installed on my 2006, costed around €300 (iQSeasy). Has various settings, expert, auto etc., If you are not racing, you don't need it. No regrets installing it, but hardly using it. Clutch is so light comparing to other bikes. A must to install is the GEAR INDICATOR!!! Annoying when I'm in 6th and pull for 7.... :) It's what I'm installing this spring...
@@antonispetrou4472 I agree with you especially the need of gear indicator!!
The audio is muddy and giving me a headache but I like the contents. It shows how much heavy garbage you can throw away! EXUP has been around for decades and has been copied by the other manufacturers. Yamaha has always claimed it "tunes" the exhaust for more low-mid torque, but you have to wonder if it's actually noise/emissions related. The hoses certainly are, and I swear the ugly "Hydrofoil" license plate mounts are part of deal with the aftermarket companies. The emissions standards are only getting worse and make for very lean running engines which also run hot. It's great that they can still be bypassed but enjoy your gas engines while you can. They are going bye-bye.
I rode, FZR-1000s 89 & 91, the YZF-1000 (Ace) the 98 R1 and now the 05, I believe in the exup feature and it's worked for me.
How you find your rear wheel I like em
Are you talking about the Yamaha stickers on the back wheel?
@@MotoMaximus yea?
Ya, it’s something like this: rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F273107719089
Or just search for “inner rim reflective decals”
Thanks man
Have you had the ecu flashed?
Not on this bike, no. I just run the graves map on the dynojet.
Gotcha. I have the same bike. We have similar mods. Having my ecu flashed over the winter. Love this model R1.
One of the best bikes out there! Which flash you going with?
One by XPlane R1. He seems to be the go to for custom tunes.
Let me know how it goes. Are you running a power commander right now?
I took my exup valve out and my bike didnt run as good.
Has to be flashed to a piggyback ecu such as a dynojet for the new amount of air coming in.
2005 in red original owner here. Not worth it. They are FAST already. I did a 10.04 at dragstrip. Tires and practice.
FYI two people watching this video block off plates are in no way a performance mod. You are only deleting emissions system off your bikes and all it will do is reduce the amount of pops and cracks when decelerating. You would also have to remove it if you wanted the bike tuned or wanted to use an auto-tune system. But it is in no way a performance mod.
Cleaner downshifts, less weight…. Some may say that’s a performance gain wink wink
Poor Boy Racing , installing the plates is a performance mod in getting rid of excess weight, clutter, and improving rideability. Yanking the hoses, stock pipes and ecu is all part of making the bike run better and faster.
@@captainamerica9353 still seems redundant
