Great video. Thanks for sharing the fixes with information on why the items caused problems and what you bought to remedy them.

Same bike as mine. Ive gold marchenisi & over exhaust system 👌

2005 in red original owner here. They are FAST already. I did a 10.04 at dragstrip stock. Save your $$$ for tires and practice. And maybe a clutch eventually, lol. Bike is a beast right off the floor.

Would love to get this beautiful bike man.

Gorgeous, I have nearly identical, everywhere I ride, people gawk, and complement the bike. I was riding a 98, bought new, until July 22, in September I bought an 05 used, RED, with the Devil slipons and the exup, intact.

Perfection

04 best looking r1 over all

The EXUP valve has nothing to do with emissions. It regulates back pressure and boosts midrange torque. Eliminating it is not the best idea unless you just want a loud system on the bike.

Great looking bike eho did u have air fuel mix done when installed block off plates need that done seattle wa

The audio is muddy and giving me a headache but I like the contents. It shows how much heavy garbage you can throw away! EXUP has been around for decades and has been copied by the other manufacturers. Yamaha has always claimed it "tunes" the exhaust for more low-mid torque, but you have to wonder if it's actually noise/emissions related. The hoses certainly are, and I swear the ugly "Hydrofoil" license plate mounts are part of deal with the aftermarket companies. The emissions standards are only getting worse and make for very lean running engines which also run hot. It's great that they can still be bypassed but enjoy your gas engines while you can. They are going bye-bye.

Hey man, I just bought a 2005 r1 that's also red. I also live in Michigan would love to come and ride with you some time next year.

Awesome r1 I have one on blue where did you buy those frame sliders?

I feel like the front blinkers are not as noticable to other other drivers as the ones that stick out.

What is the current mileage of the bike. Did you change the generator rotor with updated one. I heard that old type of rotor have problem with magnets, they tend to fall of the rotor and mess the stator, magnets are glued inside rotor. It is advisable to change the rotor bearings too. Yamaha never recall this and they installed same type of generator rotor into 04-08 R1 and FZ1 up to 2014. Another thing is starter motor, it get dirty inside from brush wear, hard to start when engine is hot, real pain in the ass to pull it out (must remove throttle bodies) and put i back in. Two components poorly designed by Yamaha.

installing that kawi led relay necessary for the flush mount signals to stay on?

Bro I wanted to ask you regarding this R1 2004,how is the clutch pull on it? I had a gsxr600 k6 ,clutch pull was not so nice…hard,brought it to service,they said everything ok with clutch,my wrist is fucked up only looks like,thats why I am asking xD

Will the bike still turn on without that plug? My bike wont turn over after i replaced my full exhaust.

Bro does this model has a quick shifter ?

How you find your rear wheel I like em

Have you had the ecu flashed?

I took my exup valve out and my bike didnt run as good.

FYI two people watching this video block off plates are in no way a performance mod. You are only deleting emissions system off your bikes and all it will do is reduce the amount of pops and cracks when decelerating. You would also have to remove it if you wanted the bike tuned or wanted to use an auto-tune system. But it is in no way a performance mod.
