On the display it keeps track of how much gas it’s used. If you use the scroller wheel on the right handle bar you can scroll though temp, gas and odo readings. You can reset it after every fill up and the low fuel light comes on with one gallon left. Also, the headers are titanium and that’s the reason why most exhaust manufacturers don’t care to make headers for it. - 2018 R1 owner.
@@Kc2Heatz the nice thing is if r1 owners complain enough, with everything being as high tech as it is, they could just put in a recall and add it with a ecm update.
Use the Fuel Consumption display as a gas gauge. It's WAY more accurate than a shitty fuel gauge. Also, the light comes on at 3.5 gallons consumed, leaving you 1 gallon in reserve.
Yammie , I'm on year 3 of my 15 R1 , MANY Mod's !!! I'm Experienced , 40 Yrs + Riding !!! 190 HP !! It's a DREAM Bike !!!! And On The Top Step of the Podium in Qatar 2021 thank's to Maverick !!!!!!!!!!!
Had those same metal pegs on my R3, also it has the same one bolt fuel tanks deal. Though I always thought that the bolt was just securing the plastic cover that goes over the tank.
I wish seeing a cable operated clutch didn’t bother me, but I just love having that smooth hydraulic clutch and I expect one on that tier of motorcycle
Nice vid. Unfortunately it's hard to resist for amateurs like me to chime in. I really wanted to like the R1 but after a good long test ride I decided to stick with my 2010 R6. The R1 felt like an old man compared to my R6. Sure it would smoke the R6 in a line but the R1 felt lazy in the corners, the front brake felt weak, and as expected the engine wasn't as smooth. And don't even get me started on the electronics. They may appeal to the iPad fan but the electronic nannies are pointless even for an intermediate rider. Yamaha could have used that part of the budget on better hardware. I get your fuel gauge complaint for a street bike but if costs have to be cut that's not a bad choice. A trip meter on the street is just as accurate and a fuel gauge is pointless on a track. Just an fyi, the "one" tank bolt isn't a tank bolt. It holds the plastic cover in front of the tank which is a finishing piece with no structural purpose. The tank is secured to the frame with pretty substantial bolts that are hidden.
Nothing weird about no gas guage. Old Honda Hornets ( my first ) had no warning lights at all. Instead it had kind of a switch next to the left knee that you had to flip to reserve before the bike dies. You had to be quick about it. Suprised me and had me walk next to her more than once.
I disagree with you saying its small and lightweight. My 2020 r1 feels taller, larger, and significantly heavier than my 2008 r1 i had before it. Im my opinion its one of the heaviest bikes ive ever rode. Even compared to cruisers. I blame that mostly on the fact its so tall that its hard to flat foot it. So you dont get a lot of foot on the ground when backing it out of a garage etc. Which gives an illusion its hard to move. But objectively its heavier than previous years back. And as for the brakes they are not very good. Yamaha yzf series have notoriously shit wooden brakes. Every professional agrees with that basically.
The foot pegs aren’t special. They look identical to the ones on my MT09 Tracer. I was more surprised the XSR had rubber pegs as I assume these would cost more to make.
I don't think the one bolt for the gas tank is wierd, have had plenty of bikes with one gas tank bolt. Lots of bikes don't havd fuel gauges, I assume it has a low fuel light. That caliper is pretty ugly, but like the clutch lever, and the left hand switches, Yamaha has to do stuff like that to build to a price point. I'm not really into sport bikes, but I think the R1 is a nice looking bike.
I wish the Yamaha r1m was offered with a red tank or a blue tank something besides that God awful ugly silver. I love the carbon fiber but I absolutely despise that damn silver paint. And when is Yamaha going to put Brembo brakes on their bikes. I mean Yamaha should have Brembo brakes by now
I just got out and tried one myself, holy smokes from 8k rpm it warps you into another dimension A mode is fully track day B mode is track day training C is Road D is Rain (Official Yamaha dealer statement )
I Have a 2015, Once you get used to it, B Mode on mountain roads is a blast. Personally I think they have really messed up the fuelling in D Mode, I prefer C In all conditions to D Because it is more predictable and is smoother. If I ever flash mine I will be getting D Completely redone, it is useless as it is. But now that I am used to it, B Mode is my default all the time.
i tried all the modes on my 2020 r1. I simply ride in A mode all the time. Ive yet to ride it in the rain but C mode would be ok for that. Ive owned a 2008 r1 before with no riding modes like the newer ones so im used to it. I started riding in C and within a mile i changed it to B at the first red light. Then for my 2nd ride i realized A is not really unrideably powerful. Its just the normal engine mode..not anymore powerful than any other year or liter bike. Its simply a machine and it gives what you tell it to do.
I only ride in A mode. I'm an extremely aggressive rider. I remember when I purchased my 2018 after having my 2014 stolen. Driving from the dealer I didn't feel the power and didn't understand the hype of the bike. That all changed as soon as I hit the expressway. I love the aesthetics of the 2014 but I will NEVER go back after having this bike. I'll purchase the 2021 as a second bike and perhaps use one of them for track
I don’t know if this is similar to the one from 2019.... but I remember having to drive to meet my late husband cuz he ran out of gas. Gosh I miss him and Penny, his R1
Yep. The lack of a gas gage is crazy. I have a 2019 R6 and I still can’t figure out why they wouldn’t put a gas gauge on a motorcycle with a much tech as these bikes have ....it’s the year 2020. A gas gauge should freaking come standard ...,
Right? Like 95% of sport bikes don't have a fuel gauge haha. It's only been in the last few years that OEMs have started putting them on, and usually only the 1000's. Ex. gsxr1000, and zx10r
SuperBoomer95 my duke 125 has one (2019 model) but ktm does put the same display and software on the 125 and the superduke so that’s probably why. Same tech basically.
karl kukk my first bike was a 30 year old Suzuki GS1100EZ. KING OF THE SUPERBIKES. Absolutely terrible first bike. I was also 30 when I picked it up. It had a fuel gauge, AND self canceling turn signals. The fuel gauge was WILDLY inaccurate. Sport bike tanks have weird contours that don’t easily resolve into a float level system that accurately indicates remaining fuel. The best, and most common way of estimating range, is to keep accurate records of your fill ups. Regardless of the level indicated in the gauge, or lack there of, your personal riding habits are going to dictate your fill ups.
@@brandonkeithley7464 sport touring bikes are different. Alot of them have fuel gauges. But sport bikes like the gsxr, zx, CBR, yzfr, etc.. rarely have fuel gauges for both weight savings, and like mark said their tanks are usually weird shapes
the r1 wants to kill its rider always it's a caged lion NOT a beginner bike it does 100+ mph in first gear an r3 is a starter bike if u jump on an r1 without 100 plus hours riding r3 then r6 you'll be spattered on the road
I have a 2018 R1M and it doesn't have a gas gauge, but it tells you your exact gas consumption. I actually like it better than a gauge. Another feature they have is there is 2 different apps for smart devices.
There is actually like 1 bolt and 2 screws to remove what you called the gas tank or whatever. But that just removes the airbox cover which is also held down by 2 tabs of 3M or Scotch fasteners. And to remove the rank you remove 2 more bolts on the side and then the pivot bolt for the actual tank.
That single bolt isn’t holding the gas tank. It’s only holding down the front cover to the gas tank which is also attached with Velcro to the gas tank. The tank is held down by 2 bolts (one on each side of the bike). I own a 2016 R1 and removed the cover to get it painted.
It baffles my brain why the R1 doesn't have a fuel gage or cruise control like the MT-10 has because majority of the customers that buy an R1 are people that will ride them on the street so what gives Yamaha? It's not hard to code one into the computer right? I mean the MT-10 has the same engine and computer software just slightly different so it wouldn't be hard to integrate the two systems into 1 awesome system that the MT-10 can also have.
Never underestimate yamaha brakes yamaha once had 6pot callipers but they made them smaller because they where way better then needed so made m smaller for less unsprung weight. And if you gonna look most Yamaha bikes dont have things like brembos because they make their own that work better and are cheaper then most
Yamaha has been doing 1 bolt on tank forever man.. If you mount a GPR it's on bolt on! Yamaha... never put a gas gauge on the r1 since 2003. The R-1 2021 weighs 458lb dry.... Adaptability... That isn't adjustable with all that computer BS it's limiting.. noting changes man!
My first bike was a ninja 300. It had one. I think a lot of the kawasaki series do. Not sure aside from the 300. But yes, the overwhelming majority do not have one
Everyone knows to check the gas in the tank you shake the bike inbetween your legs to feel the slosh of how much gas is left. I thought this was common knowledge? Also resetting the "trip miles on the dash can also give you reference of how long you have until very close to empty." 80s child here. My first bike was the Yamaha Seca 2 600 1992 model but i got her in 1996 at 15 years of age. Had a custom Vance n Hines exhaust 4 into 1...custom CORBIN seat... Was a close fight between the Suzuki Bandit 600...i did like that one and considered it highly . i considered no gas guage to be an honor? To learn like all of the beasts before us? just my opinion folks calm down. But really...a gas light isnt needed if you understand and love the machine like your suppossed too.
So you figure you should disconnect the brake linkage, a safety feature that saves lives? Yamaha didn’t install it just to have one more feature to brag about. The R1 is a no-nonsense bike. Everything on it is there for a reason, often an important one. Anyway, ride safe!
Yamaha R1 owners club members: iT hAs a GaS gAuGe No, no it doesn’t. Resetting the consumption trip is not a gas gauge, owners. Get over yourselves. An Ex 2CR owner
@7:30 I would like to note that, though that pillion seat is tiny, the Aprilia Tuono and rsv4 tf models also have minute pillion seats, possibly smaller than the R1. Not taking anything away from the bike thougj
The 2011 ninja 650 has 0 bolts at the top of the gas tank, just 2 rubber bumps it hold onto and 2 bolts at the bottom, YZF-R125 only has 1 bolt on either end of the bike, interesting detail but it's like saying some cars have 5 spokes in the wheels, some have 6, doesn't really bear any significance lol
Cause it's a race bike, most all sportbikes with the exception of a few all have gas lights. That's for cruisers. To many features on a motorcycle too in my opinion, but others like it I guess.
No liter bikes have fuel gauges. I guess all that weight, ha. Most liter bikes are street driven. I know they are track weapons but come on already. The 3% of people (made up number) that really race these bikes can take the fuel gauge system out and save that 80 - 90 lbs. Put a fuel gauge on the bikes already.
There is only one bolt on the front of the xsr700 actual gas tank. It has 4 smaller bolts holding on the rear of the tank. The two bolts you pointed out just hold on the plastic/metal cover to the real tank. Fz07/xsr700 owner.
Hey Dude look at the original 1998 R1 it only has one bolt on the gas tank so not a big surprise as you think ,seriously I know your a young man but check it out,and yeah set a mode you like then after a while change them ,it literally like having a new bike ,if your gonna buy this sort off bike it’s a must.ride safe stay safe .👍
And also the ride by wire throttle system...this cables coming off the grip...much like the newer zx10r...the cables go to a type of servo which reads how much throttle your giving it ....the computer then takes that info and translates it to the amount that the computer wants to open the throttle bodies....believe it or not the bike is de-tuned from what its actually capable of due to euro 4 emission standards...and that electronic throttle system is one of the ways that they do it....for instance .....at 5k rpm you may be giving it 50% throttle but the way the bike is tuned stock it may only be giving you 35% of the 50% that your telling it to give you......its wonky as hell ...but the bike is capable of way more ...and if its tuned right it will come alive!!
Yeah my 2020 r1 is a bit wacky on the throttle. Yanky and torquey. And low rpms from a start it feels like you are starting from a stop in like 5th gear. It does that classic too low of a speed for the gear stutter. I too blame it on the magnetic throttle as opposed to a cable. Its strange and requires a total relearning of throttle control.
Yamaha is smart enough to not waste money on a lever that over half of riders will swap out for shorter ones in the first month anyway. Why waste R&D on something aftermarket companies will ultimately replace almost immediately?
That is not one bold for the gas tank. That is for the plastic tank faring in front of the tank. And if you look closely you will see that it is held on in 3 spots. Stop man-scaping and step up your game.
It's the same for my zx10r and most liter bikes. I can see on my digital dash that there is an option for it but it was only implemented in Japan and Europe to have it actually on

The 2011 ninja 650 has 0 bolts at the top of the gas tank, just 2 rubber bumps it hold onto and 2 bolts at the bottom, YZF-R125 only has 1 bolt on either end of the bike, interesting detail but it's like saying some cars have 5 spokes in the wheels, some have 6, doesn't really bear any significance lol
Cause it's a race bike, most all sportbikes with the exception of a few all have gas lights. That's for cruisers. To many features on a motorcycle too in my opinion, but others like it I guess.
No liter bikes have fuel gauges. I guess all that weight, ha. Most liter bikes are street driven. I know they are track weapons but come on already. The 3% of people (made up number) that really race these bikes can take the fuel gauge system out and save that 80 - 90 lbs. Put a fuel gauge on the bikes already.
R1 ain't a sport tourer. This is typical for a true sport bike. Thatt said I wouldn't mind a gas gauge.
There is only one bolt on the front of the xsr700 actual gas tank. It has 4 smaller bolts holding on the rear of the tank. The two bolts you pointed out just hold on the plastic/metal cover to the real tank. Fz07/xsr700 owner.
If it's like my R6 there's 2 more bolts on the sides for the gas tank and a hinge bolt in the back
Yeah that bolt he's talking about is just for the cover I believe. The real tank bolts are the ones you're talking about.
Hey Dude look at the original 1998 R1 it only has one bolt on the gas tank so not a big surprise as you think ,seriously I know your a young man but check it out,and yeah set a mode you like then after a while change them ,it literally like having a new bike ,if your gonna buy this sort off bike it’s a must.ride safe stay safe .👍
All modern motorcycles should have fuel gauge or range, no excuses. It is just programming in the electronics these days. Btw, my R3 has a fuel gauge.
Believe it or not the cheapo calipers cost 2x as much as the Brembo units on the GSXR when you look on an OEM site like partzilla .
The clutch lever is not the same as my 2019 FJR...
I owned Yamaha FZR 1000 and it’s also haven’t gas gauge l just don’t understand why... just why..
My 1980 CX500 must be going for ultra weight saving. Doesn't have a bolt on the front of the take at all.
And also the ride by wire throttle system...this cables coming off the grip...much like the newer zx10r...the cables go to a type of servo which reads how much throttle your giving it ....the computer then takes that info and translates it to the amount that the computer wants to open the throttle bodies....believe it or not the bike is de-tuned from what its actually capable of due to euro 4 emission standards...and that electronic throttle system is one of the ways that they do it....for instance .....at 5k rpm you may be giving it 50% throttle but the way the bike is tuned stock it may only be giving you 35% of the 50% that your telling it to give you......its wonky as hell ...but the bike is capable of way more ...and if its tuned right it will come alive!!
Yeah my 2020 r1 is a bit wacky on the throttle. Yanky and torquey. And low rpms from a start it feels like you are starting from a stop in like 5th gear. It does that classic too low of a speed for the gear stutter. I too blame it on the magnetic throttle as opposed to a cable. Its strange and requires a total relearning of throttle control.
Yamaha is smart enough to not waste money on a lever that over half of riders will swap out for shorter ones in the first month anyway. Why waste R&D on something aftermarket companies will ultimately replace almost immediately?
My Yamaha Warrior 1700pc has no fuel gauge either, just a low fuel light....
I’m okay about the gas light I’m used to having gsxr 600 and 750
The R6 doesn't have a has gauge either. The light comes on around 120 miles if I ride hard. I use the trip meter to monitor the gas.
Smart.
Not sue if serious but, rsv4 you can adjust all the modes as well, and no fuel gage just like the r6 I’ve owned as well.
Yam is annoying. It has a gas guage for 1. Just toggle through the interface. 2 the gas tank is bolted in 2 places. 3 yam is annoying.
That is not one bold for the gas tank. That is for the plastic tank faring in front of the tank. And if you look closely you will see that it is held on in 3 spots. Stop man-scaping and step up your game.
Omg, my heart. Its been hurt:(
jk thanks for insight.
I have a Black 14 yamaha r1 and love the bike!
It's the same for my zx10r and most liter bikes. I can see on my digital dash that there is an option for it but it was only implemented in Japan and Europe to have it actually on
There's also 2 bolts on the side of tank under the plastic covers. You have to unscrew all 3 to lift tank or take rear hinge bolt out to remove tank.
Iirc from my old r1, you have your display in track mode. Switch the display and it displays the fuel level
I am a Yamaha man at heart even though I like all 4 Japanese motorcycles but yamaha is the one for me and the R1 is the king
A gas gauge is unnecessary since it usually does not work well. Also this is a Supersport not a tourer. An rsv4 also does not have a gas gauge
The one bolt is for the tank cover and not many Supersport bikes have a fuel gauge.
why do Yamaha foot pegs have that little metal thing sticking off to bottom? It seems like all types of Yamaha bikes have this.
Hondas are red
yamahas are blue
You should have gotten the r1
in preety ocean blue
I tell you whats weird. Air temp is close to a heat source so never correct. Oil site glass is hard to see
It has 3 bolts holding on the gas tank,2 on each side mid way under the little side panels
CBR954RR no gas gauge. Daytona 955i no gas gauge. BMW R Nine T 1200 no gas gage.
I think it might just be a Yamaha thing. My 2016 r3 also only has one bolt on the gas tank
We get knurled pegs on yamaha R15 I in india which is a 150cc bike
this is my dream bike sucks I'll never own one myself :(
Mine too bruh :(
