2006-2014 Yamaha FZ1 Factory Rotor Replacement (Pre-Destruction) with RMStator (FZ8 & R1's as well!)

- I decided not to wait for my rotor/stator to become a grenade inside my 2012 Yamaha FZ1. I have about 13k miles, and no signs of any issues. I bought my FZ1 in 2014, so the updated Yamaha OEM rotor that came out on the 2015 FZ1 had not been interfaced or available for purchase yet, so I knew my FZ1 was a ticking time bomb. These FZ1's can do 80k+ miles, why ruin it over something this trivial? Maybe you're scared to do the job yourself.
*Did you know the 2011-2013 FZ8 and 2004-2008 R1 are also affected?
Here's the thing:
1. It's technically not a very technical job, it may sound scary, but my video shows everything you need to do the job.
2. If you already got sticker shock over the OEM Yamaha rotor rebuild at $639 MSRP, you may have walked away without realizing an aftermarket company called RMStator has a replacement for only $199. Honestly, I'd rather give RMStator my money because they solved an issue anyone would have on an FZ1 of overpaying Yamaha for something that Yamaha should have done a recall on for us in the 1st place. Yamaha doesn't deserve my rotor money!
3. And last but not least, if you caught my posts on the FB FZ1 groups, Amazon has a deal still going on as of 4/9/22 that you can get $40 off, plus am additional 15% off if you buy more than 1 part at the same time from RMStator. You're going to need to buy 2 parts; the rotor and the replacement gasket, cause that gasket isn't going to be reusable! So now you can get both the replacement rotor and the gasket to do this job for...wait for it...$148.54 including tax! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!
Follow my step by step video tutorial and you can keep your FZ1 from becoming a boat anchor by replacing your rotor before time runs out...KABOOM!
I recommend this product.
Amazon RMStator Rotor plus Gasket kit:

*If you have any issues getting the discount, try adding the rotor and gasket to your cart separately.
*For anyone in the UK, there have been some issues with buyers trying to make the purchase and Amazon says it's not available to ship, there is apparently a button you can click on the order page to change it to calculate shipping to the UK.
*For anyone in Australia, I've not been told of a way to make the Amazon order work for you, but maybe it would be best to contact Amazon and ask them.
Hi, I'm Evan, Engineer for RMSTATOR. Great video! Thanks for making this showing off an excellent installation of our product!
@Evan Grist that's really cool for you to check out my video! I do all kinds of installs and reviews, trying to get people the right product for the right price then show them how-to install it! Thank you for the comment! If there is anything else you guys need a review/install for let me know!
@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Great! Do you have any other motorcycles or ATV's we might have parts for?
@@EvanGrist I have the 2012 FZ1 and the rotor and gasket are all I've done on it and I have a 2009 Yamaha TTR125 if you have anything for it. Do you do automobile parts?
@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN Not much for the TTR unfortunately. Voltage regulator, starter relay, spark plug wire. We only do powersports electronics, nothing for automobiles.
Hey Evan. Just an FYI, I just ordered this exact kit because of Shawn’s Facebook post. I’ll be installing mine this weekend, and I know a few others are doing the same. Just thought you should know… ya know??
😉😉
Hi. Thanks for a nice balanced video and description. This is my next job on my FZ1N.
@andypeach3226 excellent! Peace of mind is worth it. Pj'sChurchofSpeed has a good deal on the rotor and gasket. He's in the FZ1 Facebook groups too.
Happy to be your first comment in English. Great video!
@The Traveling Fireman thanks! Well you know I'm international and all!
Nice video! Thanks!
You bet!
Great video
@thankthemosthighgod9135 thank you for the feedback I appreciate you checking out my video!
It is written in the manual ! M6= 12Nm (8.7 ft.lb) M8=22Nm (16 ft.lb)
Great video, just got a question,
do I need to drain the engine oil???
Thank you very much
@Lou Teix definitely not. I would have included that in the video for sure! No need to drain. You're way above the pan where the oil sits.
@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN bless you
@@louteix9981 oh man that's too kind of you I appreciate it.
Just did the change a few days ago from RMSTATOR. My gasket is leaking very small amount, so I may need to buy a OEM gasket time will tell.
it will be leaking at the cable grommet likely? Theres actualy some black RTV paste in there and people refit them after ripping the samwich grommet out without repasting. It only needs a little and you put it in the grommet sides and fill it like a samwich then you smear some in the case bit that comes of the engine. If you pop it out and look inside you see a recess cut, yeah that needs it smeared in there too only a little.
It stopped leaking about 5 days after install, and hasnt leaked since. when I say "leak" It was really just sweating tiny tiny tiny amount of oil on edge of the case where the new gasket was.
@@crazycrookerryesh the rubber grommet has found its natural sealing position after a few heat cycles by the sounds of it. Its nearly always that grommet causing leaks on them it even gives the false "seapage from gasket" look to it as any oil that gets squished or leaks out that samwich grommet finds its way right around the gasket perimeter of the case real quick. From factory they are smeared lightly with black RTV paste and i mean Lightly, its hard to even tell they have.
Is it worth replacing the stator too? Do stators go bad?
@mobley Mobley stator's don't usually go bad.
you need to damage the stator with the magnets or they last forever. The only known issue they ever get bar that is pinched wiring on refits or they have got water in the connector as its been hit or damaged. If the bike charged fine when you take it apart and you are only doing this out of precaution then you Dont need a new Stator at all mate.
Where are the magnets? And what makes this rotor better than original?
@jamescollins-fi3no the magnets on any upgraded rotor are inside a metal sleeve so that they can't come undone from the epoxy like the original rotors do.
Just ordered, promo was still working. My 2007 has 20k miles 😬
@Captain Obvious glad you are getting it before it gets yours! Thanks for the comment! Let me know how the install goes!
@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN installed today and rode 150 miles. All is good and now I have peace of mind
@@TwoWheelNinja heck yeah good job no problems?
@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN no problems and easy install thanks to your video 👍
@@TwoWheelNinja excellent glad to hear it thanks for checking it out!
How much is this replacement kit?
@t8283287 it's in the description.
I got an FZ8 as my first bike two months ago and on the ride home after i bought it guess what...the magnets flew off the rotor.
Yeah I'm in some FZ1 groups so I see this a lot and yeah it affects the FZ8 2011-2013 and YZF R1 2004-2008.
Hopefully it didn't break anything else and you can drop the oil pan, clean up everything real good make sure all the magnets are accounted for then replace the rotor, refill with new oil and get going again! Having a down bike is torture. Thank you for the comment!
What happened to your engine? That was 1st drive? Was it new? Seller may have heard something and sold it quick.
@@mobleyMobley I got it from a dealer that imports used bikes from Italy and they check the rotor on the FZ1's and FZ8's before they ship the bikes to the customers.They changed the bearings and the gasket and they checked the rotor.My bike somehow ended in a shop for a brake fluid change and fork seals and they tought that the shop swapped my good rotor for a bad one...i don't believe that.Anyway...they sent me the upgraded rotor and i paid for an oil change and the labour for dropping the pan and cleaning the engine.The engine runs good after 3000km...
@@liviu9181 swapping Rotors behind customers backs by a shop is absolutely desperado grade stuff and just doesnt make financial sense. I own a garage here in Scotland and know of some dodgy places that overbill for parts that they dont fit if its a car they own and fancy the new part themselves or if they struggling for work that week they think its ok to rince last weeks customers by claiming more work needs done than what is necessary. Removing upgraded parts from a bike though is not in there repertoire as they dont want caught for a start. A surefire way to get caught would be to remove a part that the customer had already payed someone to upgrade it in the past. They would need to be a special kind of stupid to do that given the other well known methods of rincing customers with no way there is any comeback for them other than you leaving a bad review after taking it for a second opinion and the second guy tells you it doesnt need all that work. That story they told you in balance id say its likely 1% true at most mate thats an honest opinion from a legit bike & marine mech
ottimo ,direi che la fortuna ti ha aiutato con l'ultima randella ,di solito cadde nella coppa dell'olio
@Antonio Gobbin what is the club?
Привет.подскажи упала демферная резинка ротора в двигатель,это критично?
@user-pc9it4tq3x there are some people who have dropped them if you can get a little grabber tool and pull it out from the opening it fell through that is best, otherwise you need to remove the exhaust and drop the pan to take it out. A borescope would be a great tool for finding it 1st.
@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN благодарю.спасибо очень помог.от души🤝
@@user-pc9it4tq3x you're very welcome!!
i dropped the wsher in the crank case what do i do
@unruly1ne978 use a magnetic telescope wand and drop it down through the hole it fell in and fish it out. If you can't fish it out you'll have to drop the exhaust and oil pan to get it.
@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN took a trip to harbor freight and got a flexible telescope magnetic and fished it out thank god im in tears rn that was scary!!!
@@unruly1ne978 that's awesome you fished it out!! That's a 15 minute job that can become a nightmare! Those header bolts are known to snap!! So glad you saved it!
@@ShawnMartinNCBIRDMAN note: I had the bike on the kick stand and not the center stand when I removed the stator rotor I believe mad it easier for the washer to drop in the hole or maybe I’m just making excuses
@@unruly1ne978 I think the lean may have contributed. My washer was oil suction stuck to the back wall at the bearing, if I had been on the kick stand the lean may have made the washer fall off after I pulled the rotor assembly out...
Chinese parts. But the Chinese have come along way. I remember buying Chinese plastics before they were any good
Rm stator is Canadian
@@mobleyMobley sure, but it’s made in China. And also I bought one and it was trash. Horrible quality control and it caused damage to my bike. Only buy oem. Cuz you get what you pay for.
@KoKo Beatz you had a rm stator rotor and it didn't fit?
@@mobleyMobley it fit. But then my bike started making bearing noises. And now has a whine noise. Immediately after starting it up. Installed correctly. I could tell when comparing to the oem one that it wasn’t cut the same way. The races were smaller. It may fit peoples bikes. But they’re made in China and the quality control is horrible.
@mobley Mobley I've chatted with an RMStator engineer at their Canada shop. He actually responded to my install video too. It looks like it's all based put of Canada. That doesn't mean they don't have a shop in China actually mill them although it seemed from my interaction that they were made in Canada. Proofing the specs would be done at the Canada shop typically, if that's their warehouse. What I have witnessed is customer's buying them from resellers who have had a previous customer return the item damaged and the reseller puts it back on the shelf for inventory and it was sold to another person. That customer hen goes all over the internet and talks about how horrible RMStator is and not the reseller that sold them a used rotor. It's unethical but a lot of resellers do it.
