Since you're the only active account, still reviewing these wonderful glorious legendary bikes, I recently picked one up. It's running pretty smooth, but I noticed that it doesn't read a extremely high temperature, but the engine gets warm enough that the frame is hot. Is that normal? Cuz I've never experienced it on any of my bikes that are 20 years old

Is there a place to buy replacement pin?

As a 2002 5JJ R1 owner / rider, I too can thoroughly recommend ownership.

The gear selector rod you briefly tickle @04:49 in the video, shouldn`t that go through the frame and not in front of it? The only reason I ask is; That is one of my favourite features of the 1999 Yamaha YZF R1. Sorry, I seem to be all over your channel at the moment but, I am truly interested in this motorcycle. I used to own the 2015 60th anniversary ~ Kenny Roberts replica R1 but sadly the ABS failed on me and I ended up throwing it down the road. Now, I ride the 1997 Yamaha YZF1000R ~ Thunderace in Vivid red cocktail and blueish white colour scheme, similar to your stunningly beautiful R1. Awesome machines... 8500rpm is where the fun starts. 🤟🤪 Please, for the love of all that`s motorcycling, get your Go-Pro chin mounted on your helmet, get a sound mod and let us see and hear more of this beautiful classic actually being ridden. Take it easy and enjoy the ride. Best wishes from the Lone Wolf in the lakes. 🕊

I don't know which bike I think is cooler, the FJ or the R1 Both cool in my eyes. I have a 2001/2 5jj R1 but would love an FJ too. I enjoy your videos mate, 👍

I would be interested to know what camera you`re using and how the camera is mounted to the bike and how does the camera move in some of the corners to follow the road? I must be blind because, when you showed the bike at the start of this video, I saw no camera or mount for it.

I might be wrong but... We see you at somewhere, we see the bike stood while the engine is running, we hear you turn the bike off. we see the bike from the side and you stood there talking a lot and not saying much. We see good clear footage of the road ahead of you, but we see no beautiful vivid cocktail red of the `99 R1 in shot. Why don`t we ever see you actually riding this bike, hm? I have the Yamaha YZF1000R, the predecessor to the R1 and I carry a tool roll under the seat as that is all that fits under there. The rest of this "must carry" fits in my jacket pockets. Come on dude, ask the guy that actually owns the bike to let you ride it and make a video with some substance. Best wishes from the Lone Wolf in the lakes. 🕊

you need some tools, the bike and the videos are exactly what we need, but buy some tools ☑️

I like a lot how you take care of her. I look for a good one to buy in the winter🎉

I mean that's cool it's super unlikely to fit on anything modern, even adventure bikes don't have that sort of under seat space now days

Happened to me, lost the seat cover,

Apparently hotter gases flow faster so you might gain some extra performance

I know you've done it now but for anyone else thinking of doing this, soak the wrap in water overnight before applying. It stops the fibre itch and also help the wrap shrink round the pipe when it heats up 👍

Hey is 66,000 km alot for this bike

I watched your video of buying this R1 and talking about the dislikes of tacky sh i t and what people do to their bikes etc and then you just go and butcher a classic with those stupid things. Unsubscribed.

Where can I get these Emgos?

Greetings from Ireland, You mentioned Seven sisters, I went to London to buy a car before and had to get a train to Seven sisters to get the car lol. I like your attitude and and taste and looking to buy the same or next model up soon.

0:26 you what mate? You paid 1,900 quid, in japan thats yen? Must be as 1,900 quid. Maybe i misheard. Mine cost me about 200 quid and im in poland (moved from the uk 4 years ago)

I had exactly the same problem on my 84 FJ1100 ! I followed your video and it's fixed ! Saved me just buying a new starter motor. I wouldn't have had the confidence to do it without your video. Huge thanks 😁👍

Numbers one motor

Did the same thing on my 05 Yamaha R1 with changing the gear ratio. I didn't like the low-end speed with the stock gear. BTW, nice 99 R1 in the other video!

Bent the number plate up cause I'm a bad-ass. Mint 👌 🤣😂🤣

Do you have any social medias to follow to see more of the fj?

Mate I've had my 99 R1 same as yours 😊 Had her since 99. She's now 25 & I'm 64 years old Lucky lucky me 😀😀 25 years of happy funn 😂😂😂😂 Still riding I have no need to change 😊😊😊 Enjoy yours Ride hard Ride safe 190 rear is standard But if you wish for her to turn tighter in the corners Fit a 180 on the rear She will tern a lot sharper 😊 Ya speedo she as standard switch from miles to kilometers trip it 😂

Looks good 😎 I just have gaiters on mine. I had a nice looking fj12 before the accident last September. So took off the damaged fairing and more or less what you have done apart from instead of a nice looking caff racer look. I have gone for the rat/survival look. Great channel!

You have the upgraded 4 brush starter motor found in the fjr1300 much stronger than the stock 2 brush fj1200.

Functionality? Probably not. Cool factor? totally! Looks mean!

Alô Can I exchange the R1 98 body for one from the R1 2002?

You answered your own problem ‘say you’re going a bit too fast for a corner’. Anticipate, read the road and make the necessary adjustments and avoid ‘reacting’ (in this case - trail braking) I know I’ll never change the trail braking brigades minds, but if you’re riding correctly, you shouldn’t need it.

ACF50!!!

Mate I'm 64 years old Had my 99 since almost new she was sex months old when I got her Still having lodes of fun 😂😊

Great video brother, thanks!

The clutch fluid is DOT 4 brake fluid?

Hi , I find your content really nice. I ride a similar motorcycle, so I find your videos useful and entertaining. If possible, keep posting trips around Japan, the motorcycle culture in Japan, and the R1 maintenance. Safe rides, all the best :)

It may have been Built in 96, but it was Designed in like 86. And its also more of a Sport/Touring Bike. Waaayyy heavier.

Like the states in the 60's. Full service

You should do a video on adjusting the carbs on the R1 just the idle screw because i cant find mine lol. All the forums say left side under the tank there is a thumb screw but idk.

Can you suggest a good loss traffic Mountain roads and sight seeing from the ferry point of tokushima - mt tsurugi and then heading towards okayama and osaka by the evening.

Just got me a 99 R1 and soon as I did it got cold again so I am waiting for that spring weather to kick in.

Recentyl got myself an FJ and I gotta say they're really nice to ride. I was wondering how you were able to shorten the seat? I'd also really appreciate it if you could tell me if that's an aftermarket belly fairing and where you got it if it is. The guy I bought mine from lost it :(

Do you know what size fuel line you bought and what size clips please? Cheers

Quite funny. I think GP bikes have become so ugly since all the aero mods. And now new bikes have useless aero wings on them. And there are even people putting wings on classic bikes. :') Complaining about the perfectly sized R1 tail. Just buy a modern bike already.

Pump the throttle 3 times choke all the way out Will start every time I got 2 - 92s 1 Street fighter 1 full fairing And a thundercat 2008 fjr1300

hi we have r1 too do you have instagram or something?

U can change the speedo to kph or mph Google it

Good review, I've had both the early R1 and an FJ . You might revise your view of the FJ a little as it's a mid 80s design a few generations away from the R1.

Also you said the R1 has less clutch leaking problems. Could it be that's not because of a better design but because the FJ is on average five years older making the seal in the slave cylinder simply more likely to fail due to age? I'm wondering since some guys in the FJ1200 facebook group advertise aftermarket clutch slave cylinders for 170 euros which apparently have a better design but I don't think the metal part is the problem, just the seal that will need replacing every so many years. So then this upgrade wouldn't be worth the cost and I'd just use clutch rebuild kits. If however there is a design error in the metal parts of the clutch on the FJ the aftermarket kit may be worth it.

Your taste in what will make this bike look nice is horrible, no one keeps those long levers in the U.S. You have the taste of a 65 year old man.

Had a stock 89 FJ1200...what a beast, the Mid Range King❤
