I like to take off the clutch thingy n keep reeds n y pipe on and take motor out

Love this bike. Has it for 10 years before I sadly has to sell it due to electrical issues (I park my bike outside and have no garage). The weather and moisture finally got to it despite keeping it covered 24/7.

For the sheer insanity of what it can put you through, the 2007/08 R1 is just so easy to ride. Such a sweet bike to get on with most of the time. The motor absolutely kills above 8k, it starts to wail like a siren at that rpm, then it shifts to real angry snarl around 10k, and from 12k it’s downright furious. The power from 9k on makes your spine tingle as you hold onto the clip-ons. Overall, the engine makes it clear you should absolutely not mess with this motorcycle unless you really know what you’re doing. Sadly - I didn’t, and I had to sell it. It is docile enough for almost anyone to ride, but it allows you to tap into the levels of performance only very few are ready for and can competently handle. I loved it, loved hearing it come onto that 8k wail again and again, loved the Kayaba fork, loved the brakes, the way it was so stable and easy to handle, the seat was comfy enough, it was even suitable for long rides. But under all that I constantly felt like it merely put up with me. Also, the pace that flatters the 4C8 is so far out, you are always in danger of not just losing your license but ending up in prison outright. And it will gladly take you there in 3 - 4 seconds - it wants to take you into that zone and show you what it can do. TLDR: It’s meth. Don’t do meth

I just bought a new GoPro how did you get your audio so clear?

Yes boy!

It looks like you deleted your oil injection

🏁🏁🏁

leave plugs in to prevent anything from falling in there and plug all exhaust and intake ports just blue paper towel works awesome stops small particals from entering the motor.

I had the original 98, now on the 05. The styling on the 07, 08, is somewhat of a characture, of the previous. The 4 valve engine is very powerfull, but the bike also gained weight. Nothing like the first gen cross planes though.

Hey I'm seeing that this video on that these comments are a little bit older but I'm wondering if anybody can help me out I took the top half of the motor out with the cylinders and I was trying to get some of the antifreeze out without draining it and it was using an air hose and it was my first time ever taking an engine apart so I didn't do my research very well. But I'm pretty sure I got antifreeze splashdown into the crank area at the bottom of the Rod's. Do I need to drain it or pull the motor out and get all the antifreeze out of the bottom end of the motor. I would assume so I've always heard that liquid in the motor is not good I'm not sure how much is in there

Had one and regret selling it 💯%

I have an 09 600rs and on a cold start it will run just fine but as soon as the engine gets warm it drops to one cylinder. Any helpful ideas?

Cheers nice video from Nfld Canada ! I almost bought the same sled last week with the same “clutch” noise ! Glad I didn’t get it

Hey are you still on here? I have some questions.

Nice work, I have a new to me 2010 rs600, previous owner didn’t know it was hard jetted and ran 330’s, I ended up throwing some 360’s and the sled ran beautifully, except it melts pistons in the midrange, gotta play with the needle. Just waiting for parts.

At 0:45 Crank bearings that need to be manually greased ? I ve never seen that.

Looks like it was a great day. I’ve got to fix my brothers 05 600 MXz and found your other video on the fuel system. Good vids 😉👍Subbed. I’m in Alberta, which province are you in?

Wait too fast for me to watch and get anything out of it

Coming from a 636r b1h this bike rides lush & comfy , even the mirrors 🪞 work 👌 - no elbows hogging the view

You forgot to do the Y pipe first before tightening the heads if not oil leak lol

Here's a little tip put your exhaust y pipe on cylinders and tighten them before tourqing your cylinders it's centers your cylinders and prevents exhaust leaks .

Nice video

No loctite 518 on the base gasket?

This is my all time fav bike. This gen r1, especially in black. I used to ride with a guy who had one back when i was a new rider. Needless to say I couldn't keep up with him. But i always admired how gorgeous his bike was. 10 years later and now im an experienced rider and i know a lot about motorcycles, and still nothing has come out as sexy as this bike. Maybe the panigale.... maybe...but definitely nothing else on two wheels is as sexy as this gen r1, to me. Not even the newer r1s. Now im on my 3rd bike and still haven't got my hands on an r1 but its definitely bucket list lol

At 10:16 there is a small 90 degree oil port for the water pump, what is the port that is slightly larger to the right (mag side)?

Hi Curtis, any walkaround video of your R1? Would like to check it out!

Hi, Could you comment on the heat dissipation from the bike and would you recommend a R1 for a hot and humid condition . I am from india and the 07-08 R1 has been a childhood dream Thanks

What about the engines temperature while riding in city traffic conditions??

Km/h, right?

I loove these videos!

The stator bolts that go right thru to the crank is where you inject isoflex into the mag side bearing!

great video

Looking to get a skidoo rs what are some things I need to look out for and really know right now I have a 2010 Arctic cat 800

Nice job on your rebuild. Great to see someone go right threw it crank and up. very helpful for us do-it-yourselfers like us. Only advice I can give is putting the wye pipe on before torking the heads helps center the heads avoids leaking exaust gaskets. I'm no pro just watch a lot of videos made sense to me. Thanks and keep up good work.

Getting plastics all off is a pain in the ass. No more lift the cowl on sleds anymore. Geeze, even changing plugs are a pain in the ass on these newer machines. 2012 800 etec tnt.

Good to see you young guys not afraid to tear down and do your own work. We didnt have how to vids or youtube growing up. Service manuals only and they were always brief or confusing. Cheers

Nice upload bud. Was a great watch ! Cheers from ontario

Just wondering how much did the cost you!? I’m doing a rebuild on 800R p-tek from a summit

Can you run the rs’s on 91 octane? Or just race fuel. I am looking at getting one but can’t find any information

Dude you need to get more vids riding at that spot

This is all shit that ive done b4 to a 2014 polaris indy 800sp junk polaris

Big like its Bad for you: you dont have big snow 😭 😂

You obviously don’t understand it.

hi just wonder how many foot pounds you torqued the crank case bolts

Never thought of turn the motor over without torquing the jugs to center them

Excellent

Great job
