Building a SUPER Lightweight Yamaha R1

[@dute007]

Removing and Disabling the emission would do some weight savings such as Purge valve, Block off plates/Pair valve, Stock o2 sensor, and Exhaust Valve through woolich... 👍

[@LeeTillbury]

Good job. Its worth greasing up the caliper bolts as titanium tends to corode the aluminum and become real hard to undo.

[@whudup_doe]

Very tastefully done… I was going to inquire about a few parts but realized you haven’t responded to any questions previously asked by your followers, that’s a bummer dude.
Regardless I’d love to see more vids of the R1, keep em coming.

Is 400lbs dry or wet? How do you know it's 400lbs? I have the same machine and I intend to use it for competition, so I'm very interested to know how you got 20kg/50 pounds of the bike!

[@hectorallanrivera9334]

Really enjoying your content. Can you please share where you got the carbon tank extender? Looks amazing.

[@VuThai-8X]

Very impressive!
Can you list out where to get these BT bolt billet titanium
Appreciate

[@YAMYR1000]

Up two on the rear sprocket is the way to go. Best way to get the most out of the bike.

[@ChevyCorvetteZ]

Why is that?

[@-mystical-16]

I like that you stuck with all GYTR parts. I have a 2023 and so far added GYTR Gilles Axle Sliders and GYTR Gilles Crankcase Protectors. I’m on the fence about continuing the GYTR theme because shipping is expensive from Europe. Which GYTR dealer did you go through?

[@matheewj]

Where did you get those tank extension tank grips?

[@citocaraballo7839]

Unless your making over 300whp you shouldn't worry about the strength of 520 chain. It will hold up

[@oldm8alfie]

Was that chain a rivet type master link ? Or was it an R clip style master link ?
Only asking as I want a new chain for mine

Looking at R1 mods when I don’t even have 1 😂dammit go like and subscribe

[@stephencarbajal5657]

You never said how much weight you saved or did I miss it?

[@edgarv.611]

Hey man, how tall are you? I’m 1,86 m and I’d like to know if that bike would fit me. Thanks

[@davidmoore_723]

I am 1,91m and I find it comfortable, however that is quite subjective. Aftermarket clip-ons can help with hand position rotated a little forward at the ends, less angle down, and wider at your hands given your height.

[@edgarv.611]

@@davidmoore_723 Thank you for taking the time to answer me

[@castro6966]

Bike is looking good. You are not going to stretch that 520 chain that easily. On my R1M I’m running 15/42 and it was flashed and turned to 188 to the wheel which is more than enough for me. Good job she is looking awesome

[@the_rush_to_nothing]

Should have weighted everything first, then weighed the parts taken off to see the difference. Good video though.

[@motowerkz3678]

"your" level not "our". lol, you got a mouse in your pocket? Using rear brake on a liter bike is a fundamental way to get better drive on exits and settle the bike mid corner.

[@elskipador]

So basically a race bike, lol. Our moto america bike is just over 390 😉

[@SGU.TF-141]

No way those mods makes the r1 weight under 400 lbs

[@BWeathers89]

Can someone tell the cameraman he's not in the video......

[@greatestevar]

$115 for a battery is not cheap 😂

[@edwardthekingofthestreets]

You obviously haven’t purchased a regular battery in 20years

[@amasamadi4560]

so hawt
