Yamaha YZF R1ders

[XxPJYxX]

Im not sure how to control the temperature thing, it kicks in after 3rd gear and sometimes kick in at 110degrees. I researched on coolant and best i heard is water wetter or Ice. I really really need help with R1 im really hell noob. Please advice! anything!.

Also im still looking for pillion seat 05 model if anyone know where to get or selling .. Thanks!

 

Try martini racing coolant and put a switch to manually on the fan?

Use maxima cool-aide....use only the premixed 1 and not the concentrated kind mechanics use to mix with water. Trust me, it will make a world of difference...

 

Personally I tried engine ice and it's just not as good for my 04 model.

the engine ice last used temp usually warm very fast while idle, when on the move it cooled down very fast.

Best combination for a cooler engine for my R1 previously was Amsoil EO with Maxima Cool-Aide. Temperature doesn't rise up as fast and stabilizes below 90 degrees while cruising...

Thanks all for coolant part. I'm frustrated. im a kid with a R1 and i bought full cash but shop gave me a "Thrashed up bike". 3rd day i already complain magnet coil problem hard to start.. Any idea why the coil even has problems? cause i surveyed and people say the common problem of R1 is Coil and last i heard from a racer R1 is that his coil only went faulty after 2 years...But 3 days is -.- ...

 

I feel so cheated...I'm always nice but the least i expect is be treated like a human. Advice Please.. Am I allowed to force shop to do a overhaul for me? cause engine sound is very "Chor" . R1 is my dream bike ((

Can any pro like someday do a meetup with me and see my bike and advice, I can pay abit or something

[JosephLam]

I'm doing around 200-230km every full tank before reserve comes up. Whats the normal range??

Hi there, sorry to hear your plight. I am no pro but I can still advise you on some little things here and there.

 

1) why would you want to overhaul your engine? It's normal for yamaha engines to sound rough. Unless your engine is eating engine oil bit by bit, or there are white smoke coming out from your exhaust after warming up and when your bike is moving off then you will definitely need an overhaul.

 

2) when getting a 2nd hand bike, luck plays the most important factor cause you wont know how the previous owner maintains his bike unless you know the owner. So with your magnet coil problem, consider yourself a bit unlucky and get it rectify so that you wont be facing that in the short future.

How rough does your engine sound? Take note that yamaha bikes are very famous for having rattling noises coming from the clutch housing...why don't you bring it down to a good workshop for a second opinion?

[JosephLam]

When i start bike, i wait awhile before moving off and its jerky. The Engine sound is like sounding as if any moment it can just die as in stall or just off.

 

And My god, I paid tow go bike and back my place, fixed magnet problem can start but the moment I switch to gear 1 the engine dies straight away...

 

Just sent my mom to work this morning and engine die 5-6times in gear 1 the moment i switched to neutral at traffic junction...holy crap...I really duno where to hide my face to be sitting on that kinda bike..

 

Just sent back to the idiot shop again..

 

Is there a FB chat page for the R1ders? so prolly i can video every **** down and show u guys...

How do you fix the magnet problem?

Without the generator/coil working the bike will use up the battery in under 10 minutes flat and the bike will not start at all.

 

What you have sounds like the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) issue. Google it. You will find more information and see if it relates to what you're experiencing.

 

Someone said Yamaha engines are not smooth? Since when?

I have owned 5 R1s and the engines have been smooth as butter.

Besides the fabled Yamatick the engine is fine. Clutch noises have nothing to do with the engine.

Trying to repair/replace the clutch plates arent going to make a difference because they will start clacking within a week.

 

Trying to keep the bike cool is also going to be a useless/expensive task.

The bike is not made to ride in stop go traffic at 50kmh.

Trying riding at night at 90kmh. The bike will remain in mid to low 80degrees.

 

Anytime the shop/mechanic says they need to change a part find out how much that part cost.

There's a few shops that sell Yamaha parts like Auto Machinery.

I have heard exorbitant prices on this forum when shops engage in their normal ****ery.

I changed the coil and rectifier as well as battery on my 04 R1 for under 500.

I changed the entire clutch on my 09 R1 for 150.

 

Equip yourself with the right information and youre less likely to get ****ed-over.

Clutch worn out, time to change clutch plates...

[JosephLam]

Thanks so far all the replies and good advices,

To be more specific about my bike "jerking" when first moving off in the morning, example, (Change gear 1, throttle abit and release clutch slowly, at this point, i wont be moving for abit but only hear the throttle making the ascending sound even with half clutch almost out already.)

 

After i received the "Proper" bike handing over from LTA or whatever isit, i see 4 ex owners. but bike shop tell me second hand. hais. And also i not going to say bike shop name first till after they keep their promise in helping fix all free with warranty.

 

Previous owner was racer, I mean im ok with that cos it looks like he took care of bike pretty well in looks and other stuffs. only problem now is my engine sound. Imagine a heart pumping and it suddenly misses a beat, thats how my engine is. Somehow i still okay with bike cos i love the arrow pipes ,

 

Can i ask laojiaos, normally what you recommend for each gear when to change?

Example gear 1, when should i change to gear 2? after hitting what speed, so as to just maintain bike health not to drag or doing too high of a gear yet little throttle and spoiling machine.

 

So far fan working good, 105 degree fan kick in cool to 83degrees and i just going smooth . But the traffic is like pack daily. all car moving 20km or so. from 1 end to another ..Daily.. -.-

 

Can i ask whats "ride in stop go traffic at 50kmh."

And what does "Engine overhaul" actually mean? do they give u a totally new certified engine or something?

And whats "End Cans", like slip on whatever whatever thing. Mine is arrow but i saw what slip on end cans thing like look nice. Can i use those slip ons?

 

I'm dumb, only know how to ride, sorry all! and Thanks for keeping the good advices coming~

[fufu]

normally for me i change my gear from 4k to 6k rpm.

 

when u feel like ur dragging the gears, actually u r just letting the bike get started to run smoothly and correctly. its just that inline-4 makes u feel like u r dragging the gears but actually its not.
