and thanks for watching.
lee
we need way more of these!! like a proper bulding of a TT bike !!!
Excellent as ever Lee. "Tractor nerds " 🤓
Thanks for bringing us along to see how things are done behind the scenes. Love these VLOGS!
When he said 'they're busy doing fuck-all' I had literally just lifted my bottle of cold beer to my lips and couldn't help but agree.
Uncle neil bike building yoga. Sounds lovely. Great video
Lovin the workshop bits I could watch a pro mechanic all day long great video Lee 🤪🏍🎉🎉👍
O what a beauty , sounds amazing and with the colour blue ,be standing out in the pits and road please keep videos coming ( enjoyable from start to finish) keep safe ❤️🦂
Really enjoyed this one, thanks. Love the workshop Vlogs as much as the race meeting Vlogs.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks 👍🏻
The bike is stupid fast as soon as you pull the 27lb factory exhaust off it. Great time lapse
That has to be the cleanest and tidiest workshop I've seen yet!! Fair play!
Honestly it’s not that tidy at the min cause there is so much going on
I've really missed the tt these last 2years can't wait til it kicks off again fingers crossed for some good results lee
Lee, on your Go Pro set the frequency to 50hz and it won't filcker no more with lights. It's because our British electric grid frequency is different to the GoPro standard of 60hz 👍 Great video, love the bike.
good tip mate
@@derekbond3512 Yeah it used to wind me up when it kept doing it for my videos 🤣
awesome bike , i am excited
Roger! Bloody top man!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good luck Lee for the up and coming new season, stay safe.
A great behind the scenes strip ‘n’ build vlog Lee, thanks for the insight, keep em coming.
Thanks for watching
Thumbs up from me. love this sort of vlog. I'm so sad I would watch a strip and rebuild it in real time.
You need discount codes for yout sponsors stuff. nice video.
I had no idea how much of the stock bike is removed…..fantastic video and she sounds sweet as!
Awesome chap's cheers 👍🏻
Mesmerised by the lift slowly dropping as they work on it. Wouldn’t notice without the timelapse.😀
I know I thought that 🤦🏻♂️😂
Sounds sweet, Did have a laugh at the battery that didnt have enough power to start it, been there, and done it, jump leads from the car worked back then, Good luck Lee,
Nice one Lee, you’re going to have some fun on that! 😜😜👍👍
Another fantastic vlog Lee, keep them coming.
"They're busy doing F*ck All"... in my case you are 100% correct sir! LOL!
Looking forward to your 2022 content Lee keep up the great work all the best Les.
modern bikes are so good you dont really need much just race pads high temp braking fluid race body works and ergo mods like clip on rear sets and the right setup on the suspenion for your weight and if your really flush exhuast filter tuned and you have yourself a superstock class race bike.
Once again a great blog, thanks Lee
Thanks
Enjoyed that ✊
I loved the "obviously" at the loom explanation.
Mate nowt was obvious hahahaha
I really appreciate all off you doing these vids will i c u at Cookstown 🤔 keep it between the hedges 👍
Possibly, I won’t be riding but might go to watch
Just zooming in on the tractor while Roger furiously pressing the start button 😂😂
Haha love a good tractor
Love the music rock on U2
great vid again and I wish you all the luck in the TT.
Thanks for support
Bloody awesome Lee great stuff cheers : )
Can't believe the amount of stuff on the road bike you had to remove. Looking good.
I struggled to pass one of those tractors round Manston airport. I was in my little van and it was doing 55mph. I kid you not
Hallelujah… the TT is back! This is for all those that think sticking a race can, lights removal & aftermarket fairing on their bike = TT bike 😄
Roger Less F words You Come Over Better. Great Blog Lee
another great video blog, Roger needs his own show
Result lads, good crack that is the banta just gets better.
great film Lee , excuse my ignorance, but why don't the manufacturer's just sell a frame and engine kit to race teams . Would it not be cheaper for the teams, or does it have to be registered as a road bike ? cheers sean
They need to sell units especially 600’s as they are not too bigger sellers just now.Yamaha are good as they also have a YEC catalog where if available you can buy a complete engine brand new and wheels with bearings and disks all ready fitted and kits full of head gaskets covers pipes.These are slightly cheaper than std but if you crash and do in a frame and a set of forks and say the clutch cover is smashed and full of gravel its just cheaper to buy a new bike for cost from your friendly yamaha dealer (Raceways) then you get a spare subframe more wheels and disks,forks yolks.Just makes more sense especially if your running some talentless kid who crashes all the time.Luckily Lee is a top drawer rider although a little ugly, and he does smell of greasy soda bread sometimes but no harm in the boy so there isnt!x.
What he said lol
You have definitely got to do this with all your machines, and tell us more details cos its really interesting
its not easy boy, bike looks great driver, good luck.
Mega stuff as usual Lee. Love the vids. Will we be getting an update on the Aprilias?
Yes going testing soon so will be plenty of aprilia action
Nice one lads 🎯✊🏼
Cool video.👍
He's pretty confident if he goes to get his laptop instead of a fire extinguisher...
Brilliant
"we build it" - hmmm Lee not sure how much you built lol. Where was the braaaaaap ? So looking forward to the TT this year. Will you be doing the Classic this year?
Yes hopefully
Sounds good mate👍
Hope the bike gives you a win at this years TT 👍👍
So do I lol
she sounds a beauty mate. I cant wait to see you rip her around the Island.
Me too 👍🏻
As usual, interesting. See you in going past in hopeful a winning blur at the TT.
Hopefully 👍🏻
beautiful video , good job man 💪
Sound F@@King mint 👍🏻
R6 Disein Most Perfect😎😎😎😎💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
As someone who has no clue about racing bikes - I love to watch but have not desire to ride one even just to go to the shops. Did you take the stock parts off the R6 and soup them up or did you replace the stock parts with race spec parts? Can you not just buy a chassis and build around it?
thanks guys 😂👍👍
Interesting, i would think team just send you a frame and parts in boxes instead of stripping down a complete stock bike......stock parts that don't get used go back to factory I am guessing......alot of work stripping a street bike
Don't know if it's copyright bs but what happened to the intro music love the content 👍
I’m having the exact start up problems with my bn6 with the woolich software
As you can see I have no idea how to help you lol
@@Leejohnston You’ve helped already helped cause mines has been back on the Dyno so if it still struggles to start I can tell em to watch this
Is that Roger from 3till3 nuts and bolt back in the day.
“Winner✌️”
what is the aluminum brace on top of the subframe above the battery?
Nice! With you getting the RS660, do you think many people will be running the R7 at the TT?
Honestly don’t know I’m that busy trying to sort my own stuff I don’t know what anyone else is doing lol
I wonder how these boys drive/ride on their civvy days i.e. when not in competition
Ulster this year 😍
That’s the plan
@@Leejohnston Podium man,fast as around Dundrod,Gary Jess Trophy 😍
the lift is leaking past the seals i think lol
Are there any modifications to the engine internals?
Great vlog.. as norm 👍🏼 so what tyres you using for the tt ?
I’m using Dunlop’s might do a little feature on them closer to the time
So what happens to all the road parts that are taken off the bike ? Are they sold or kept ? Nice sound from the can once it finally started.
It all gets sold
Bring the Lee Johnston show to Tandragee 💯 and smoke em please 👍🏼
I’m not brave enough for that place lol
OMG the accent makes me melt!!!!
_do you still use stock brakes and pads for the race? ty_
We have to use stock callipers but not pads we use brembo
So why does the R6 come with lights and mirrors if they are only sold for track use now 🤔 ?
That was the road bike that was on order from last year there is such a waiting time 🤦🏻♂️
Lee do you need bigger tank on the 600
For the roads yes mate
Shame you can't get a similar spec bike from Yamaha than the aprilia. Seems a lot of new parts to be removed.
That’s just the way it goes
now if yall just take my 1996 honda 900rr put fuel injection on it digital speed ometter and dyno it would be great 236 hp please
🤣🤣👍🏻
how many break horse on that beast?
I thot u where running Aprilla’s this year
I am but they are for a different class on the roads
Lee, what paddock stands do you use? 👍🏻
What do you guys do with all the stock parts after you take them off?
Sell most of it
What is done to the engine with full tune?
LoveIt
Your lucky Neal is a gentle soul or we may see you stuffed in a trash can one day.....which would probably get a tremendous amount views.😄😄😄
I’ve trained him to be gentle 😂😂
👍
👍👍
Erm if its finished where do you sit.
On my bum what about you lol
I got mine from road bike to -----> a better road bike. 😂😂😂😂
It's sounds 😎👍🍻
*good!
Thanks man
Let me get this right You buy a bike strip it change everything bar the frame and job done ????? Well appart from a tuned engine ???? Can you not just buy a frame
from Yamaha and be done with it ?? L.O.L..................... and what happens to all the parts youdont use ??
No that’s not possible 🤦🏻♂️
@@Leejohnston Well I will eat me boots ???? You would think they would give a little for all the promo you give them ?? Get racing Lee and whip ass!!!!!!!!!!!
Why don't bike manufacturers just give bikes in creates?
Aa Crap O vich = Akrapovic , correct pronunciation
😂😂😂
Lee johnston it just happens I’m living in Slovenia where the factory is, we have a laugh when the yank pronounce it too! Have a great season!
she a live
What happens to all the standard parts after the build?
Thanks for this! Need more subs? -> P R O M O S M!
