Yamaha YZF R1ders

hi guys, here is some info on the benefits of using the smog block off plates on just about every model motorcycle. Hope can explain it.

 

If you have something to add please feel free.

From the factory most motorcycles will come with a pair valve system on them. This is basically an air pump that pulls fresh air from your air box, sends it through a bunch of hoses, and then pumps that fresh air into your exhaust ports on your cylinder head.

There is unburned fuel that makes it through the combustion stroke, exits the cylinder head, and makes its way down the exhaust system to finally exit into the atmosphere. The pair valve system adds fresh Oxygen to the exhaust so that as the unburned fuel comes into contact with the extremely hot catalytic converter, the additional fresh air will aerate the fuel for a more efficient burn and keep the exhaust cooler. This equals less emissions being released into the atmosphere and lower emission readings when tested. Here are some of the main reasons you should consider installing the smog block off kit on your motorcycle.

 

(1) The pair valve system really requires a catalytic converter to complete its job of burning off excess fuel. Once you have installed a full race system and have removed the cat, all this fresh air will do is mix with the unburned fuel vapors and beginning to burn up while exiting the exhaust. This create the popping and back firing that throws those incredibly cool but damaging flames out of your exhaust. Great for night riding, but terrible for tail sections and leg hairs. To eliminate this add the smog block off plates.

 

(2) If you decide to have your bike dyno tuned then you cannot run the pair valve system because as it adds oxygen to the exhaust gases. This causes dyno sniffer (reads the air/fuel mixture exiting the motor) to pick up false A/F readings due to the additional Oxygen that is added after combustion. When it reads the extra O2 it thinks the bike is running lean and will compensate by adding fuel to the fuel map. Now you have a map that is much fat (too much fuel) and the bike will run terrible. The person that is tuning the bike will have to pinch these off every time you dyno the bike. To eliminate this add the smog block off plates.

 

(3) The tubes, pump, and wires that are included in the pair valve smog system add unnecessary clutter and weight to the motorcycle. To eliminate this add the smog block off plates.

 

(4) lastly but not mainly, next time you change the plug will be more easy.

 

If i'm wrong feel free to add comment

 

Have a safe ride.......

 

oh.. how is the plate being install? do we have to remove the engine and install it?? or??

It is at the left and right side of your fairings.

 

The pic is after i installed it.

The best is ask bike shop to get it done for you,

cos it took hrs to get it done.

what if i install this plate but no PC?

[Anakin7744]

what if i install this plate but no PC?

 

hi,

 

No problem, you can install it without a pc.

[Anakin7744]

Cool stuff...

 

hi, thank you... I'm still learning too

[DaN zI]

hi,

 

No problem, you can install it without a pc.

 

would it still help ?

[Anakin7744]

would it still help ?

 

It still help...not to worry about it.

[DaN zI]

It still help...not to worry about it.

 

Sorry bro but to ask u again , if i just install the plate nia no PC , it improve in ?? don really understand

[lo-on]

well to put it simple .... this will help to pull in more air to make your bike run smoother as more air that mix with the correct amount of petrol will reduces backfire for full system and reduces weight

 

that means your bike's response will be increase also

any 09 rider here got this problem loud clicking at cold start? when ever in the morning or left it park a long hours.. start the bike got this loud crank then goes off for like 3 sec=.=

guess i will be visiting the dealer to screw them

All 09-10 R1 worldwide have the problem caused by the cam chain tensioner lacked of oil.. once engine is started oil will circulate n lubricate the chain thus the 3 sec loud sound is gone..

 

If u want to fix it right away.. install "Ape" manual cam chain tensioner.. ebay ard US69, i havent fix yet..

 

If u go to Hong Leong it is useless to get a replacement if its the same product unless they manufacture a different one to solve the problem.. u can try ur luck

THE PROBLEM

As phenomenal as the 2009-10 Yamaha R1 is, it does come with it's faults. Some are subtle....... some not so subtle, however in the opinion of Garage Endeavors, they are all important to address as soon as possible.

 

One of these issues we have found is with the OEM or "stock" Cam Chain Tensioner. Our 2009 R1 test bike began showing signs of tensioner trouble relatively early in her mileage ............ at just around 4000 miles. Anyone who has experienced a bad cam chain tensioner knows....... it can make an awful, clacking sound that would raise the neck hairs of even the most advanced motorcycle mechanic.

 

AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION

To eliminate this problem we installed an APE manual cam chain tensioner in place of the factory automatic one. Using basic tools, the installation was completed in around 20 minutes and immediately resolved our loose cam chain issue. We have been testing at the track and out on the streets for well over a month with the tensioner installed and we have had no issues and has required no adjustments. The motor consistently sounds nice and tight with zero cam chain noise.

yamaha is well known for its lound cam chain tensioner ....

 

Hi, lo-on help me to explain it. Hope he give you the ans you wan.

And lo-on thank's for it

 

its ok u welcome

You can get it straight from the makers at US$52 plus gasket at http://yamahazone.biz/tensioners.html

 

However not that this is a MANUAL tensioner - you will have to adjust it over time yourself. If you have no idea what youre doing youre better off with the stock cct.

[R1Rider]

there are some people report that they change to ape manual tensioner, and after a while, the loud clack back again and he has to adjust it manually....plaese think about it again....

this loud clack is one of my main reason i sold my 09 R1.....i cant deal with change the cam chain etc on a brand new bike.....just my opinion

[lo-on]

well as what FB666Y posted for the manual cam chain tensioner, u have to adjust it yourself provided if u know how to .... if not u can ask a very experience mechanic to do for u
