order it off a newer R1, they are all the same

 

seems like it is only the same up till 2006 model, but even that one is obsolete. will the lock washer from an r6 work?

Looks like a great project; keep us updated with progress.

 

been doing a bit of work on the bike. Changed the carbs over, had the jets all cleaned out, changed all the fuel lines, reinstalled all the fairing brackets, and also replaced the throttle cables.

Now I have another problem on hand. I can easily turn the throttle plates by hand and by pulling on the cables when the carbs are off the bike. But when I have the throttle cables re-attached to the handle bar,the first little bit is very sticky and when it is at wide open, the throttle does not return to full close. What would be the cause of this? works perfectly fine when it is off the bike, but as soon as it is re-connected to the handle bar it sticks.

 

Do you have a slight bit of slack in the cables?

 

Been a while since I have updated, but I lowsided the bike, and this bike is now becoming a street fighter. I am having an issue with the cooling fan. I knew the switch went fault after i started storing it for winter as it didnt come on at all. Now I have changed the thermoswitch with a OEM yamaha switch, but it doesn't come on until 118-120C degrees. Before the old switch stopped working, it would come on at 106C-109C. Is there a different part number for canadian models or a switch that comes on at colder temps?

 

I have checked the free play and it seems to be the right amount.

 

So now I have tried to adjust it according to the manual, no matter what I do, the throttle does not want to snap shut freely when the cables are installed. And same thing when opening, it is pretty hard to open the first little bit and then I can hear a click and it opens up freely, let go of the throttle and then it snap back to the point where I have to manually turn it to close. When I turn it, it makes that same click.

 

Did you lube the throttle cables? Most come dry and require a dry lubricant.

 

May sound stupid but are the cables routed right. Looking fwd to this rebuild as the 99 r1 was my first r1. Good luck with the build. Also check the throttle tube housing to make sure nothing is binding inside just a suggestion.

Little Wayne edition...

 

Here it is with new head lights


Shitty gas tank it came with


pulled the coils and cover


got a used kick stand as the bike didnt come with one. I had to use a stand every time I am not holding it up. Not that it really mattered as this bike had been down quite a few times.


carbs being cleaned on my cooler/workbench


how it sits now

 

Finally back together and running. After many coolant leaks, I got it back together and running. Still missing a few bits and pieces that I would like to add. but good enough to ride.

Looking great. Nice car too.

 

what pieces are you missing?

 

I still have to install the crash bars, stunt pegs, and 12 o'clock bars. All by 905 racing and they fit horrible, I am going to resize holes and maybe even reweld some mounts they made for those parts
