Get behind the scenes of the WorldSBK paddock with Toprak and Loka’s mechanics to discover their schedules, skills, top tips, and the precise formulae that means rebuilding an R1 after a crash can take as little as 25 minutes! 🔧💪🏼 #worldsbk #mechanics #yamaharacing #R1

Tremendous insight. It really puts the other side in perspective. When we see a rider crash out on lap 1 of a race, you can appreciate how it must be a technicians worst nightmare after half a week of preparation and fine tuning setup.

After watching a high side crash happen directly in front of me and seeing how broke up the bike was to then be limped back to the pits and 15-20mins later back out on the track like nothing ever happened speaks volumes as to the set of skills y'all have knowing how to build these bikes inside and out!

Racing doesn't start and finish with the riders, there are a whole host of people working flat out behind the scenes to get the riders on track aboard a competitive bike. We will be showing more of these people in future content, as they truly are the engine room of our racing projects.

@tHaH4x0r 10 ай бұрын

I concur. A vlog or series just on the mechanics and what they do (maybe allá wheeler dealers or more of a reality television kind of deal) would be amazing.

@@yamaharacing thinking maybe pit set up + strip down, not too time lapsed + talked through ? Engine swaps maybe? Tyre talk with Pirelli? Factory/ European base walk round with staff ? Tool's needed ? Toprak / Johnny Rea talks (if Johnny signs with you lol) More of regular staff interviews of how they got into racing + what they do now ? Hopefully these will help, and i any fan like myself would thoroughly enjoy all type's of content, seeing as Wsb has been more entertaining than Motop for some year's now.

Great video, i have 2 questions... do you have seperate torque wrenches for each bolt etc, or do you have the values all memorised to change the same one.. and secondly... do the riders say sorry and make the tea/sandwiches/get beers when they wreck a bike and you guys need to work a double shift to rebuild the bike???

They go home. The bikes spend most of the season in the race trucks, only returning to the team workshop twice a year. All the work on the bikes over the course of the season is done in the pit box at the track.

I have a question. I have a 2019 r6 and it’s vibrating on the handlebars and foot pegs as well. I did a test 1 first gear 60 miles per hour, second 60 miles per hour all the way to 6 gear. The higher the RPMS the more vibration I felt the lower the RPMS the less I feel. All that while keeping it at 60 miles per hour. Any guess on what this issue could be? Thank you 🙏🏻
