You have no idea as to how helpful these vids are, about to rebuild my second R1 and the trans rebuild and engine replating info is sooooo helpful, thanks.guy!.
I have a 99 R1 with 30,000 touring highway miles, rarely ever seen more than 8,000 rpm. Still runs like new, I do all maintenence/repairs. I commend you on your patience; very well thought out and thank you for taking the time to post all these videos, but I was just curious what a low mileage used motor would cost compared to rebuilding?
Thank you for your nice words erbible1. A used motor where I live (southern California) would have been much cheaper than rebuilding, probably around $500. Used R1 motor's aren't worth much on the open market, and the reason is that you don't know what you are getting - it could be a pristine motor with no issues that came from a crashed bike, or it could be trashed. With older motors, its more likely to be trashed.
@BrandonLeeHeryford $600 for replating, $1400 in parts, so about $2000 ballpark. This shouldn't discourage anyone, you can definitely do a motor rebuild for a LOT less, but I wanted a good as new motor so that meant replacing lots of stuff.
you did pretty amazing work by the way! i rebuilt my 02 r6 about 8 months ago and its roughly the same motor so it should be tooo much of a price difference...(i hope -.-)
What direction do the shift forks need to be faced? I tried what I thought it was but doesn’t seem to want to turn in some of the gears and acts like it wants to pop out

Yes, I used the green plastigauge, it was the best for checking the tolerances involved in this rebuild.
@FrankieG426 I got mine done at Millennium Technologies. It cost me $514 plus shipping ($80). I'm very happy with the result.

Fixin to rebuild mine, Where did you get the cylinder work done and how much did they charge.
Thanks

Is it possible to have the address where you performed the cylinder adjustment?
Thank you
out of curiosity, how much $ have you spent rebuilding your motor? just a rough number
it's been long time, but, do you have a spreadsheet or list of parts and prices that you used. also how is the bike now ? do you still have it ?
I have a log book I can copy and send you. do me your email. will take me a few days as I'm traveling on business.
Chris R Millennium Technologies, they are the best.
