Just came across this channel, this guy is hilarious and clearly knows his stuff. Will recommend this to all my biker mates. Great viewing !, off-roading on the gsxr great viewing ! :)
That silver thing you point to and refer to as a "horn" looks a lot like a vacuum actuator to open a flap in the air intake. It could probably be removed in a track application. It'll be connected to various sensors and vacuum lines that comprise their own circuit and no doubt could be isolated or plugged to facilitate removal of the system. Saved weight and better air flow into the pressurised airbox. ECU looks good for some Velcro adhesive tape to affix it onto frame. And yes, Titanium Akrapovic system, jizzy!
Some of the older cities in the US have those small garages as well. Like here in Seattle, Washington, all the garages in the city were originally horse stables or whatever, which were added onto in order to make them garages. But they're like the size of sheds. Pretty much the same as your tiny garage.
Baron, go to a place that does PPF ( paint protection film and get it applied to your fairings, tank and any other exposed body work, including your lights :) itll save you a shit load of stone chips and all chips, cuts, scratches that happen on the PPF can be made good as new with a bit of head from a hair dryer if you dont have a heat gun :)
there are shops that put on clear bras you can use to protect the tank . mostly used on cars for door dings and rock chips . 3m makes a good product . an Audi dealer I worked for installed them. flawless look. in fact I couldn't tell there was anything on the car when the car got a full wrap in it. once you mess the brushed look up there's really no fixing it without a big cost. well big cost to me
Sat on one of these in a showroom this week. It's like sitting on a stone. I'd get myself a gel seat right away if I ever was stupid enough to get a new R1.
Once you put the smog block off plates on it will reduce, but not eliminate the flames. I've done that and the cat delete. I'm waiting on my laser etched R1 Akrapovic slip on coming from Australia next week. Can't get that one in the U.S. because of the Yoshimura deal.
Thanks for the decals buddy can't wait to get them in! I'm going to secretly put one on my girlfriends helmet. I'm starting to take my little ninja 300 apart. That's the best thing about it it can teach me all because it has less bits and bobs on it! So what can I really mess up besides a plastic tab or such. Then I won't be afraid to "make it rain... Jizz?" on a sexy bike like the r1. Maybe a middleweight if they still make them. 9,700 miles in 7 months of riding. I just mounted my first helmet camera yay! I want to arrange meeting family I have in England for the first time. I doubt I could meet you as well but it would be fantastic.
I would make a square bag from thermal cover/heat shield (the silver stuff) for the ecu unit put velcro on one side to attach it to the side. You can buy thermal cover from your local hardware for a few quid a meter.
I hate driving in the cities up here, so I dread to think what it's like in the London area. I get that some people need to live there for their job, but when I was at uni 5 days a week of living in in a city was more than enough for me. Good luck with the bike though. Does it ever feel a bit demoralising when you buy a bike from new and then start stripping bits off it, or do you get over the urge to keep your sexy new bike looking pristine after a while?
Did you bypass the air circulation system after you installed the full exhaust? If not, it can worsen that sort of thing and also give you false AFR ratios if you're running a piggy back.
Yummy doodads. Sorry for such a non-bikey question, but wondered what cameras you're using for walkaround shots? I just downsized from full-size SLR to a Panasonic GH4 as I found I just kept leaving the SLR at home on trips because it was too big.
Canada Greetings lads The 44 teeth and BVG vids are top notch! Gents you and Al should come on out to British Columbia some time and ride the Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler....she's a beauty! Say I'm damn close on deciding between the R1 or an S1000RR. Are the frequent petrol stops and mediocre breaks on the R1 enough of a reason to lean toward the BMW? ......My gut is telling me get the R1...... argh....Cheers
Dude, may I ask where did you get those fairings? They look like CRC but carbon? BTW, best way to fit the ECU is chopping off the top of the OEM plastic holder, and leaving the heat shield on. It should fit under the race fairing.. Cheers.
@BaronVonGrumble. I have the 3/4 system on mine which is a pain in the arse to sort out for track days. what DB is yours putting out with and without a baffle. As im considering the upgrade to it!! Great content mate.. Love the vids👍
Nice vid, I recently bought an R1M that I am converting for track use. Dont know how you are going to get the Akro full system thro a noise test??? Please let me know what make your front paddock stand is as mine squashes the underside on the nose cone regardless of sportsbike shop assuring me it would fit?
Well! You've stripped him down and all his guts are hanging out. :) Waiting for the finished product. Is this the one that had a white tank with red pin stripping, No that was a BMW. I do pay attention sometimes. LOL I would be afraid that exhaust; I don't like fire mixed with gasoline. Sound is good though (imaging going thru a tunnel... Jizzy!) Keep on keeping on Baron.
hello mate I have the same system on my 2015 r1 n was wondering where ya get the baffle from I haven't seen any baffles at all for that system had mine dB checked at cadwell and it was 114.3db at 5500 revs lol. cheers bud keep up the good work!
I definitely think you should leave the ding dang doodley bit, change the other thingamy jig, and stick that other bit on the other bit, so the other bit looks good. That's my professional opinion anyway. I get nervous just changing a lightbulb, I think I would have an anxiety break down, if I attempted to dismantle something like an R1m. Fair play that's going to be some serious jizz machine.
baronvongrumble, I know your from the UK, but I think I recall you in your 125 video that you are from the south west, am I right and if so where abouts?
Just wondering if you can recommend the best exhaust system which removes the cat box but comes with a db killer so you can go on trackdays on a 2016 r1? Its mainly for donington where they have a 98-100db limit. Its not going to be a full on track bike but will be going on track days. Just dont want to have the hassle of removing parts and placing cat box for the track day. Just want to the easiness of screwing in a baffle and then removing afterwards.
Hey, I'm getting my first bike in September when I'm 17. By law I can only get a 125cc. Any tips or ideas? thinking of a Yamaha yzf(r) 125 but its out my price range..... would a Chinese import be okay? they are based on the yzf and have the same engine??
@BaronVonGrumble any ideas on DB levels? Had the Akra slip on and link pipe on my 15 R1 and it was stupid loud. Looking for something a bit more track friendly for my 16 R1M
Peter Stringfellow ..... and a flame-shooting Akro.... mmmmm, yes, had m' self a moment there. Soooooo... oui, d'accord, I'm down with the Jizzy mmmm, savoie faire of the BvG.
The exhaust looks and sounds awesome! Sorry about your small gay-roge.
hahahaha
I like barons videos before I've even started watching them just because I know they're gonna be great, anyone else?

hey BaZ i want to see more of the r100 why take so long
+Steven Bertie, realise people who put stuff on the internet have lives too, work etc. Don't be entitled to anything..
BaronVonGrumble awww i dunno how u cope with the replies? that puts me off posting anything! nice bit of kit...goodluck on it
Just came across this channel, this guy is hilarious and clearly knows his stuff. Will recommend this to all my biker mates. Great viewing !, off-roading on the gsxr great viewing ! :)
There are no words to describe how amazing this bike is
I love how everyone always starts off with "well if I could do that, then I can do this..." Good video man!
daaamn she is looking amazing, that fire exhaust tho, love it
little late but congrats on 200k and your track bikes are sexy as fuck dude looking forward to this one being built
Enjoy the Slovakia Ring! I was there for the first time a few weeks ago for 4 days, fantastic track and we all really liked Slovakia and Bratislava.
That makes UK the best and wonderful place to be...miss home!!!
Glad to see that when you rev the bike the rear wheel spins... It did on mine the other day and I thought something was wrong

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. REALLY LOVE THIS BIKE. CONGRATS

Looking great so far can't wait to see it once it's all done!
Keep doing the videos Baron,they are amazing to watch as I am new to riding.
Spectacular mate, truely special. Love what your doing and where your moving toward. Just put the same system on my 16 'M' and it sounds amazballs.
I love the Öhlins Dibbly Do Dadds ;)
Amazing ! Your looks so one off then most r1ms. I really love the tail and chrome finish.
You can get clear film to protect the surface of the tank. Most people use it to protect the bonnet on sports cars they use for track days.
Baron, go to a place that does PPF ( paint protection film and get it applied to your fairings, tank and any other exposed body work, including your lights :) itll save you a shit load of stone chips and all chips, cuts, scratches that happen on the PPF can be made good as new with a bit of head from a hair dryer if you dont have a heat gun :)
I def. thought that was just a HUGE LUMPY CAM in the beginning just making his bike idle that way. Sounds great!
Spotted the carrera virago on the wall, nice bike, I have the same model
+10 points for the song in the background at 9.43
Jizzy! Looking forward on the finished bike..

Needs a ecu tune, power commander and block of plates. beautiful bike and the sound is just eargasmic!
Once you put the smog block off plates on it will reduce, but not eliminate the flames. I've done that and the cat delete. I'm waiting on my laser etched R1 Akrapovic slip on coming from Australia next week. Can't get that one in the U.S. because of the Yoshimura deal.
Full jizzzzzzzz... My R6 w/ full Akrapovic shoots fireballs too :D It's a real good time really..
Gratz on the 200k subs Baron!
Jesus Christ!!
A whole new level on MotorPorn...
in love with Yamaha since childhood.....and I really like your videos man @baronvongrumble
Gotta hand it to you BVG with always throwing in a film reference :)
Cool stuff man. Bikewise and humanwise.
That is a ridiculously cool gague cluster
I miss the everyday ride to work on your channel.
I love the tank, but side tank grips are so helpful imo!
It is all about that tank, I want one just so I can look at it all day.

You could brush the chrome wrap with very fine steel wool to get the mat finish
Great vid Barron. You should get an Austin racing can for that too. Silly loud.
Maybe that's what a garage is like down south, but 2-3 car wide garages are pretty common on houses in the ~£250K area up here in the North.
another reason to leave this congested shitehole they call Surrey.
I hate driving in the cities up here, so I dread to think what it's like in the London area. I get that some people need to live there for their job, but when I was at uni 5 days a week of living in in a city was more than enough for me. Good luck with the bike though.

Where the hell in the UK do garages look like that? I must live in a different UK...
roughly everywhere
Pretty much everywhere
I thought exactly the same thing, haha.
I guess I must be lucky. Maybe it's new houses?
Agreed. lived all round the UK and never had a garage that small.
FINALLY I could order jizz machine stickers! YAY! =)
What a clean garage
Such a nice bike. I'll have one someday.

Bloody legendary bike! By the way, that's not the horn on 9:27 ;)

my dream shed, I live I council house with no side entrance 😢, but look im grateful to have a roof over my head, God willing
we had the Vonda. now the R-von is being created
tail looks nice, and that lovely pipe...
whites walls + electricity in your garage? luxury!
Baron, any news about the Meetup in August?? I would really love to know what date you have planned. I'd love to be there....
@BaronVonGrumble. I have the 3/4 system on mine which is a pain in the arse to sort out for track days. what DB is yours putting out with and without a baffle. As im considering the upgrade to it!! Great content mate.. Love the vids👍

Beavis: "You bought something that starts with A Crap. Heh heh heh..."
That's a nice bit of kit. Thrash it's knickers off on the track!
just curious, what track bikes did you have before this? did you have a 600 or anything? or any suggestions for a first track bike?
Well! You've stripped him down and all his guts are hanging out. :) Waiting for the finished product. Is this the one that had a white tank with red pin stripping, No that was a BMW. I do pay attention sometimes. LOL I would be afraid that exhaust; I don't like fire mixed with gasoline. Sound is good though (imaging going thru a tunnel... Jizzy!) Keep on keeping on Baron.
Great update! Looking forward to the finished result. Do they have those Spider rearsets for the 2015 s1000rr?
yep :)
Awesome, thanks!
oh...and keep the videos coming...best on youtube....
hello mate I have the same system on my 2015 r1 n was wondering where ya get the baffle from I haven't seen any baffles at all for that system had mine dB checked at cadwell and it was 114.3db at 5500 revs lol. cheers bud keep up the good work!

love the video baron! just wish I was able to buy parts for my kawasaki zxr 400 because I could make it look even better then!
baronvongrumble, I know your from the UK, but I think I recall you in your 125 video that you are from the south west, am I right and if so where abouts?
I want him to do a sound comparison with baffle in and out! That would be cool!
Just wondering if you can recommend the best exhaust system which removes the cat box but comes with a db killer so you can go on trackdays on a 2016 r1? Its mainly for donington where they have a 98-100db limit.

Hey Baron, I'm curious. What did you go to Uni for? And is your current job related to that?
how about some carbon rims with the silverish highlights on them? or are you looking to keep the blue?
Well done Barron, great to see you doing these rebuild jobs yourself. How's the r100 coming along?????? Have fun in Slovakia.
La flamage en la garage 👍
Baron - do a video on your Datsun 280Z! I bought a 260z several years ago... brilliant cars.
Notification squad is on fire, sorry for bad pun Baron
that bike looks so much cooler without fairings
Yes Akrapović!
Why does the rear wheel turn forwards slightly when you rev a larger bike in neutral?
On Akro site, it says that system is 107db. How did you manage to do trackdays in UK with it?
I give you a thumps up for the pronunciation of "Akrapovic". I wont be able to spell that like you did in a 100 years.. lol!! P.s I am greek.
You should remove the warning label from the tank... Great bike!
I really don't get why the tires move a lil while revving, is it just because the vibrations?
Have you ever done a day at Anglesey track? its really good!
@BaronVonGrumble any ideas on DB levels? Had the Akra slip on and link pipe on my 15 R1 and it was stupid loud. Looking for something a bit more track friendly for my 16 R1M
When will we get details about the meetup in spielberg?
At least you have a garage... I have a shed for my bike!
Any progress on your R100?
Can we get some track footage of this already please. And get some Techspec tankgrips.
What an amazing bike.
You could use velcro tape to help hold that ecu in place.
So what do you prefer the R1M or the HP4, or are they just different
are you going to put carbon wheels on or leave the stock ones?
I have lived in the uk all my life and never seen a garage that small. If you can not get a full size car in it then its a shed.
I' m also in the uk and that is exactly like my garage.. Believe me they're out there.
never said they are not but none i have seen are.
Peter Stringfellow ..... and a flame-shooting Akro.... mmmmm, yes, had m' self a moment there. Soooooo... oui, d'accord, I'm down with the Jizzy mmmm, savoie faire of the BvG.
Roast some marshmallows in that flame!!!! Can't wait to see what becomes of it
Are you planning on bringing the R1M or HP4 to Estoril?
Wow, hell of a lighter you got now!
