Looking to replace my r/r with an upgrade. I have checked out my options and it looks like a variety of r/r's will work, so I will likely pick up the least expensive one. My question is which r/r from the R1 will work or will both. From what I can tell there are two, one has a single connection...
Hey any of you guys make these and if so, Whats your price? I am changing every other piece of this bike, so why not put an r1 front end in. That way it will match the rear wheel as well. Thanks guys
I just picked up this 2007 R1 complete front end as well as a cycle one off tripple tree for usd forks. I'm excited to install, which doesn't seem to be very much trouble, but does anybody know what type of timeframe I'm looking at? 8 hours expectancy overkill? 4 hours? Thanks!
Question for anyone running one of these calipers on the rear wheel. Do you have a lot of brake pedal travel?
With the OEM caliper, I had very little pedal travel and the pedal was pretty firm. I switched over to the R1 caliper and it seems like the pedal is much softer and has a lot of...

Is there a sealing o-ring or anything on the inserts or "spots" on a blue spot or gold spot caliper?
I'm looking to get one powder coated but I am not planning on removing the inserts since I don't have the tool. Just curious if there was a seal on the spots that would be harmed in the oven.
Firstly, hi to everyone. As a new poster to this (or any) vmax forum I'd like to thank you fellas - and gals? - in advance. I bought a 95 Vmax a year ago and I'm starting my journey from stock to rock with R1 front calipers. I've gleaned as much as I can from this forum and other sources, but...
Hi guys, new to the forum and to the Vmax, and sizing one up with a view to it being a project. I've moved from the country to the city and as such the twisties are going to be a rarety, so something that goes like stink in a straight line and looks brutal is the order of the day - hence the...
I am in the process of changing over to R1 yr 04 thru 06 rims on my max. I got a problem and need some ideas, the rear rim is sitting about 1/4 to 3/8 inch off center to right facing rear of bike. There is no spacers i can remove and looks like i will have to do some machining to the crusher...
I've seen on a thread here where '91-'92 FZR 1000 triples are a simple swap for the stock Gen 1, and guys have used R1 forks, I was wondering if the R1 tubes would work/fit with the FZR triples?
From what I been able to conclude from reading threads here, R1 and FZR750 calipers are direct bolt on replacements for 93-07 calipers. It seems the FZR's are considered much better than stock and the R1's are slightly better than stock. However, on FZR750 forums they change out the stock...
I have done all the searches. I'm needing the part number for the R1/R6 regulator mod. I need a R/R badly. I've read about the mod but cannot find the Yamaha part number. I want to get this thing running this weekend. So I have no problem paying a little extra to get it quickly. Or what years...
I just picked up a 2007 R1 tail and am planning on modding it to fit my 93 Vmax. Has anyone done this and if so, what kind of advice could you offer up?
Just got busa 6 pot calipers an r1 rotors just put on today. They are feeling a little weak. I ran the stock lines and they feel worse than my stock brakes. I bought some new galfer clutch and front brake lines to put on. Is this my problem or is there air in the line?
Or specifically, the engine in my Yamaha RX-series snowmobile. The "genesis extreme", or a tweaked/tuned for snow R1 engine. 1000cc I4, quad carbs. Motor is all stock except for muffler(equivalent of slip-ons to a bike).
Anyway, I was out riding today and got onto a lake. Absolute perfect...
Hi guys.
Im in the need of some goof advice here... I have a leak on my stock radiator and im gonna get that fixed but in the process to find another one i got across with an opportunity to fit a R1 curved one... The question is... Is it possible? I like the curved ones and if the fix on my...
A Crotch Rocketeer Friend, Ken came over today. 2 up, his 100 lb GF on the back of his 05 R1. We took the Interstate to Tampa and stayed out of the gas pretty much. It seemed to take Strafer a long time before the oil pressure dropped to normal. Took a twisty road down to Gandy and back home...
i just did mine and noticed the brake line looking kinked. does anyone have pictures of their conversion? i attached the picture of mine and would like to compare. i'm thinking about getting sean to hook me up with some aftermarket lines and he was thinking a couple of inches shorter would...
