Great interview!

Good job, Sam. I've been racing my Evo2R for three seasons now. It is a very easy bike to go fast on, work on, tune, and repair. Parts and knowledge are readily available in the US. The geometry can be made ideal for just about any rider. I took my bike to Computrack Atlanta last winter. Kent seemed disturbed initially when I said I had no handling issues but once he measured it, he said it was right where it should be, so we made no changes.

Thank you so much for the TM Racing Factory tour. I appreciate a lot. - I started with Fantic early in the 80s and ended up with a TM 250 2 stroke dirt bike, mod 2001, I think. Never regret. Hope my sons will restore the bike. I think the bike had 70 HP and out raced many similar dirt bikes.... Regards Kenneth the Norseman.

Need you guy to overall one of this crossplan engine in Jamaica

If that 690 naked was road registered I would buy it.

Congratulation! Very nice documentary 👍🏻

Great inside from an awesome venture!

When will you see these in the USA?

Ok please hurry up and give us part 2!! 😂😂😂 Great job BTW!

Does this have auto blippers?

Nice work! When the Part 2?

Very cool!

Great tour, I am fascinated with Kramer!

Excellent, Sam. I was one of those "Old school " machinists, I felt like it was more rewarding ( not in pay) than trying to stay awake while watching a CNC do its work. I'm now a Vintage Machinist (retired).

Rebuilding my 14b gearbox currently as cant change from 3rd to 4th under load, most likely bent shift fork. To be fair, 6 years of hard hard street riding, almost always on the upper end of the rpm, surprised it lasted this long and its such a small failure. But i have a question for you guys.. since i have engine apart again (2nd engine rebuild first time blew bottom bearings). I have a complete spare engine as i bought another engine when i blew the bearings.. so i have the time right now for some "correcting". Do you guys have any suggestions on what i should be on the lookout to improve and or modify? I don't want race performance, but i do want a little more oomph out of her, so im thinking already to send head off to be cut and ground for better airflow. I don't want to buy cams or such, but just looking to get a bit more power whilst the engine is apart?

Thanks for the Conti SM2 tire review, love the historical background too. Makes me wanna go use up the last gen Conti SM evo’s on my 690smc-r asap And PS, I Really appreciated your Italian TM Factory tour series, will be referencing that fine work and insight when I have Iconic motorbikes put all my practically new track bikes up for sale, a newer KTech’d Yamaha R3, TM 450smx sumo and Kramer 690 evo2 S up on their site. (Shameless plug just in case you could know anyone who could use one of them;)

They are VERY fast bikes!! anyone want to purchase mine??

Where do you guys order you engine parts from ??????

Top informative 👍

What do you think about the ZX4RR?

If this is an OEM engine rebuild, just spend the $8-$9k for a brand new motor. Unless you do the work yourself, then you save.

1999 is proving to be a legit party year by todays standards

What great interesting material to share with us .. thank you

Injection is the bullshit of 2 stroke

Tn 300 se Deus quiser vou comprar.

Awful sound quality

28,000😮

The 5vy has 3 intake valves, but it’s the same idea. Buy some gaskets, that valve spring tool and a valve and shim kit. Pray nothing is missing when you lift the cams, pray more, find a sharpie 😂

This review is so good! So much detail. Quick question. I'm looking to do 50/50 track days/street(on nice days). Does abs get in the way on track? Would you go abs or non abs?

Watching this made one to buy one now! companies like this must be supported!

the amount of money it takes to go 5% faster is crazy. definitely not for the average track rider.

Gee the workers look happy, must be under paid

Hi sir I have one of the R1 crossplane but the engine jam up hi think hi need a crankshaft and bearings

3:33 I didn’t really like that the front brake hose was routed around the outside of the fork lower.

That Moto 3 bike was sweet.

how long did it take in real time?

we raced and serviced more then 10 bikes, 2015+ 2018 2020 R1s and never ever had a gearbox issue. We have our own Dyno as well where we test he hell out of these after engine rebuilds. Engines with more than 13000 km of racing only. How you guys 'managed 'to fuck up that gearbox, is .. science fiction.. Anyway, good work for the rest of the vid - KUDOS and keep up the good job :)

How did u clean the combustion chamber?

Too bad that this model has a short 12000 km valve service interval.

Nice, love the walkthrough and commentary. You forgot to ask why they are charging so much more than they are really worth though 😃

Hello, great work! The windscreen is the corsa zero gravity?

Is there any difference in 2009 r1 engines and 2020 are there parts interchangeable such as the crank pistons. I live in a country where motorcycle parts are extremely hard to come byyou have to make the best of it ! Please help

I’m a subscriber to the magazine. Loved the article that this video is the companion to! This video is the cherry on top. Thanks for posting! Very informative and entertaining. Looking forward to future postings.

Why didn't Kawasaki fit a steering Dampner????????

Which country is this place

Great video looking forward to more R1 content.

👍

So much awesome engine talk in 1 short video. I do not know how I missed this when it came out. Let's go!

Awesome review you know your stuff really impressed!

I loved the 3 part tour. I understand the big trend now is to break videos down into bite size chunks to cater to to majority who have the attention span of a fruit fly, but honestly I'd love to see these kinds of videos in a single view. Hunting down all the parts can be such a pain. Otherwise thank you for a most excellent presentation.
