I'm wondering why no one stunts a R1? I herd that they got a oil problem when u stand them up. I got a 02 R1 thats more show than stunt but it's hard to resist doing wheely's. i dont want to blow my bike up so any help would be appreciated. thanks

trust me, your r1 will not blow up... checkout acfarias.com

i think hardly anyone stunts the r1 cause i dont think it can take a beating like the other bikes........aint the frame made outta aluminum???i picked up a R1 frame before and it was like a feather compared to my gsxr's. but ive seen people stunt the hell outta their r1's

KC Tony

Just about all sportbike frames are aluminum

a56kuser

let me rephrase that then......
arent they made out of less aluminum than the rest?

GSXR WS6

Are you talking???????

HAHAH 'made out of less', your cracking me up

one downfall to r1's is that you can not unbolt the subframe if you bend it up it is welded on.

i have a 98 with 18,000 stunted miles on it and im getting rid of it in favor of a dub r the r1 is 2 twichy sub frame is 1 piece with frame and a **** through clutch and baskets about 3 a season . motor held up just fine !

02 and up have a removable sub frame. I do know how weak the frame is on these bikes cause this is my second. the pic is of my 03. It got totled cuz the frame gave way to the slider. Mostly i'm just wondering about oil starving the motor. Maybe you just have to worry about that when your doing 12's.

thers no need to worry about oil starvation if your worried that much run a lil extra oil 1/2 quart

This motor is bulletproof,don't worry about it.A friend of mine rides an r1 with full exhaust,cams,ported head and stuff and has 32000 miles on and never had a problem no matter how bad he tread it.It's a 98 r1 and still gives gixxer's and busa's a hard time.

My buddy recently traded his 02 R1 for the 04 R1. He loved his 02 R1 and that thing will wheelie like no tomorrow with the right skillz. He did have a problem with the crank and we know of about 5 or 6 other bikes both 02 R1's and 02 R6's that had the same problem with the cranks when doing long *** wheelies. He told me that after he spoke with a Yamaha specialist they were claiming it was a defect from the factory not because of the wheelie itself, some of the cranks were not manufactured correctly causing the crank to wear very very badly with very low miles. He still has the old crank and maybe some time I'll get a picture of it and post it up. I'm a honda fan myself but if someone were to give me a R1 or 6 I wouldn't turn it down.

I got an 00 r1 can you all tell me how to keep it running while in a twelve? is acts like its running outta gas, never had this problem with my 900 of the f4i. thanks

ryanaka99cents

you don't keep it running and to get rid of the problem trade it for the old 900
