i lIke you and your opinions mate. ive got the same bike, very helpful

I got one! Waiting for good weather now…

hello from Vancouver, Canada. I had that bike some years ago and I have been enjoying seeing you getting yours running well - I liked it but always had intermittent issues with starting, especially in cold, moved to a 98 CBR1100xx, and now on a 15 CBR1000rr+09 WR250X

Hey, play Ride 5 with all this assists off and tell me how close it is. It has me wanting this specific R1. On too much power, this has 149, not like the new ones. I think 149 is perfect.

Nice job . I have to do it next week !! Greetings from Spain !!!😊

Awesome bike, still got mine had it 20yrs 4xv r1s rock. Ride safe buddy. 👍👍

I currently drive a Suzuki 1999 GSX 750F. And i seriously consider buying one like yours. Do you have any tips or something I need to look out for? Typical failures or anything like that? Nichlas

Hello Rider Japan, I recently joined the channel and I'm really excited about it. I’m currently in the process of purchasing the same model Yamaha R1 (1999), and just like you, I rode an R6 back in the early 2000s. I feel like we share the same mindset when it comes to riding and working on bikes. It's a shame you live so far from the Netherlands 😕. I’ve already watched many of your videos, and each one has been enjoyable, informative, and helpful. I can’t wait until the R1 is here in my garage! Keep up the great work with your videos. It might be fun to connect, either personally or otherwise. Cheers!

Anyone with one of these in the UK, E5 fuel only that E10 will wreak havoc on the seals in the carbs

Hey. Why did you change from pos. 3 to 4 ?

Ooooh man, that OVER exhaust. Very nice. Love that brand.

i dropped my 1st bike the 2nd day i got it. i forgot to unlock the fork lock...lol

i started with a cruiser...then i thought i want more thrill and i bought a hornet 600....now i want a liter bike 😁

Lamp oil is awesome cleaning oil... Especially for the chain very good!

I have the same bike, got it because of your videos. How often do you have to fill up your tires? Thanks

I have a 2001 r1 . Im 6'7" and its so comfortable and even with my big arse on it ,it goes like a train! Rode it 400 miles in 24 hrs and could have rode 400 more!

Yo. I reckon the ideal number of bikes is 4. I keep revising this up but you need 1) road 2) off-road 3) track, and 4) a PROJECT. I have a ‘99 R1 as my number 4. It’s currently running on 1 cylinder but I will spend some time in the garage this winter and get it right. Thanks for the content. I share your enthusiasm for bikes/cars/whatever with less modes/assistance/etc

I have nine bikes. I ride 5 all the time. I have the same bike but in blue.

Nice! Next week i'm going to look for a R1 same model! Love your footage. Keep going... Cheers, Matt from NL

Nice channel man! How did you end up in Japan btw ? I'm planning to buy a R1 myself. Comming from a VFR800 now. Had a R6 as well in the past ;) Can't wait to try the R1!

Ciao puoi aiutarmi? Ho un fj 1100 ho un problema con il carburatore non so quale tubo va collegato all pompa mi aiuti

The original R1s like yours always get serious attention in the UK, they are that good.

THank you. I needed a look inside, and this is the same as my Suzuki has. Fuel pumps on m/c is really new to me. They all were gravity fed in my previous experience.

What size clip ons, can i use

Hey I took the carbs apart on mine and forgot to place floats in correct spots do u know where they go ...they have numbers on them and mine are original

I just picked up a 86 for $100. Working on getting it to fire up

What year is that I have a 1986 that’s been sitting for 15 years

Hey Man! love your videos but i think we need some riding videos of you and this beautiful Bike! get yourself a helmetz cam and just record. i bet it would be incredible. Hope to someday see some of this!

All that bike Needs is a good pair of frame sliders, as those tacky pieces of plastic will not save your fairing when you drop it!

Better Aero, for sure, but be carefull they may not offer as wide a rear veiw. Thanks for sharing.

Nice, but how did you get the shots from the bike, so steady ? Are the roads there, like billiard tables ?

Hello @rider japan. Do you know what of mufflers can fit on fj1200? Is any muffler just plug on play on fj1200 or should there be any work done beforehand

Is it possible use this device in a car?

Nice classic! I’d give this a little restoration, then stick it in my garage. A nice display piece. Then go out and get a modern R1.

Great looking bike. Truth is, today’s most modern R1 can only best a 1987 FZR1000 1/4 mile time by about 7/10ths of a second, all other things being equal. 0-60 for the 87 FZR was about 3 seconds and it’s about 2.8 for the 2020 R1. Nearly 40 years and that’s all you get. I’d rather ride something like yours knowing full well that a cheap buzz goes a long way. And honestly, I think your bike looks better than anything sold today.

Nicely done.

How does this video not have more views?? This video is gorgeous, really shows how absolutley beautiful Japan is. Can't wait to go there. Awesome video overall.

I found your channel while looking up how to bleed the clutch on my 93 FJ1200 over here in the States (I would also love to find a mint Gen 1 R1 one day). I went to Japan and proposed to my fiancé while in Aomori this past May. Definitely going again. Do you have any experience renting motorcycles in Japan as a foreigner? Would love to ride in Japan next time I go. Got to get use to riding on the wrong side of the road lol.

Since you're the only active account, still reviewing these wonderful glorious legendary bikes, I recently picked one up. It's running pretty smooth, but I noticed that it doesn't read a extremely high temperature, but the engine gets warm enough that the frame is hot. Is that normal? Cuz I've never experienced it on any of my bikes that are 20 years old

Is there a place to buy replacement pin?

As a 2002 5JJ R1 owner / rider, I too can thoroughly recommend ownership.

The gear selector rod you briefly tickle @04:49 in the video, shouldn`t that go through the frame and not in front of it? The only reason I ask is; That is one of my favourite features of the 1999 Yamaha YZF R1. Sorry, I seem to be all over your channel at the moment but, I am truly interested in this motorcycle. I used to own the 2015 60th anniversary ~ Kenny Roberts replica R1 but sadly the ABS failed on me and I ended up throwing it down the road. Now, I ride the 1997 Yamaha YZF1000R ~ Thunderace in Vivid red cocktail and blueish white colour scheme, similar to your stunningly beautiful R1. Awesome machines... 8500rpm is where the fun starts. 🤟🤪 Please, for the love of all that`s motorcycling, get your Go-Pro chin mounted on your helmet, get a sound mod and let us see and hear more of this beautiful classic actually being ridden. Take it easy and enjoy the ride. Best wishes from the Lone Wolf in the lakes. 🕊

I don't know which bike I think is cooler, the FJ or the R1 Both cool in my eyes. I have a 2001/2 5jj R1 but would love an FJ too. I enjoy your videos mate, 👍

I would be interested to know what camera you`re using and how the camera is mounted to the bike and how does the camera move in some of the corners to follow the road? I must be blind because, when you showed the bike at the start of this video, I saw no camera or mount for it.

I might be wrong but... We see you at somewhere, we see the bike stood while the engine is running, we hear you turn the bike off. we see the bike from the side and you stood there talking a lot and not saying much. We see good clear footage of the road ahead of you, but we see no beautiful vivid cocktail red of the `99 R1 in shot. Why don`t we ever see you actually riding this bike, hm? I have the Yamaha YZF1000R, the predecessor to the R1 and I carry a tool roll under the seat as that is all that fits under there. The rest of this "must carry" fits in my jacket pockets. Come on dude, ask the guy that actually owns the bike to let you ride it and make a video with some substance. Best wishes from the Lone Wolf in the lakes. 🕊

you need some tools, the bike and the videos are exactly what we need, but buy some tools ☑️

I like a lot how you take care of her. I look for a good one to buy in the winter🎉

I mean that's cool it's super unlikely to fit on anything modern, even adventure bikes don't have that sort of under seat space now days

Happened to me, lost the seat cover,
