Thanks man. I’m going to try and have them both at the track this summer. I want a 10.5 1/4 mile on the bike and hopefully a 9.9 out of the supra but we will see!
Hi mate thanks for the vid I used to to put mine on today… was just wondering if arounf where the 02 sensor is at he the bottom does yours kinda feel like it’s leaking ?
I struggled with the same issue! No matter how tight the clamp was it still leaked a bit. Take it back off and put a thin layer of muffler sealant paste on the joint. You should be good after that. I used muffler cement
Hi , I recently bought the 2012 Big Bang, prior to buying the bike it was running with both running lights on but flickering , when I picked up the bike they had rewired it to just the one running light , is that standard ? , if o do you have a clip on how to rewir to both running lights on together .Thanks in advance , Steve
That doesn’t sound normal to me. You should have two outer running lights and two low beam headlights on at all times. Make sure your stator output is good if you had flickering lights. I don’t have any other videos on this situation unfortunately
People will say you need to reflash the ecu or get a fuel commander when removing the cat to keep fuel trims safe but honestly I’ve put over 10,000 kms on bikes without a tune and ones with a tune and they both run flawlessly without having any issues. My R6 has no cat and is not tuned to this day, still runs perfect no issues. So to answer your question, is a tune 100% mandatory? I would say no from my experience.
They run just fine. Don’t let the internet scare you to much when it comes to this topic. I’ve ran bikes for years without retunes and have never had any issues
The flat plane crank sound is so much freaking smoother. I don't like the cross plane sound at all. Which is kind of weird, because I love the sound of a 3 cylinder -- which is a sort of tri-plane crank -- and it still sounds much much smother than a 4 cylinder cross plane crank. But amazingly, it accomplishes this with one less cylinder and yet, it still only sounds slightly less smooth than a 4 cylinder flat plane crank.
The flat plate is definitely a smoother more efficient running engine at lower rpm. A lot better fuel mileage too. The Crossplane doesn’t really smooth out until it’s over 8000rpm if not more.
@@JT2JZ What do you think of 3 cylinder bike engines? I was a diehard 4 cylinder guy until I listened to a few 3 cylinder bikes and I really really fell in love with them. In fact, my girlfriend's daughter bought a Triumph Trident 660 and I really like that bike a lot! It has such a nice torque solid range and it sounds so amazing! I would really love to get the Trident Speed Triple 1200 RR myself, but I doubt I would ever spend the money on one.
I haven’t had the chance to ride a triple yet but I definitely like them. Triumph make a great bike and they sound awesome. The Yamaha MT-09 in-line 3 cylinder bikes seem to be getting very popular. They must be a fun ride!
@@JT2JZ Oh, nice! I didn't know Yamaha made a 3 cylinder bike. I used to own a Yamaha: an old FXR1000 with 5 valves per cylinder from the late 80s. It was a monster for it's time.
My engine went bad lol. That’s why it was struggling to start up. Low comp. 120 100 140 and 160. Getting a swap right now. Apparently 09 had casting issues. Getting a 2013
Originally I had a power commander 5 but they are honestly not that great. You can get a real ecu flash for almost the same price and get way better performance
Hey bro, question is not related to the video however I wanted some feedback on the braking capability on this bike. I've previously owned an cbr650f and then an 899 Panigale all having abs and now I'm in the market for one of these beauties now. Given the fact that I've never owned a bike without abs before should I be concerned about not having it here? I consider myself a seasoned rider with a decent amount of experience handling big bikes just for the sake of your reference....Cheers...!!
I’ve only had the privilege to ride a newer bike with ABS twice in my ten years of riding. Maybe I’m a bit old school but I actually prefer the raw feel of the older bikes most of the time. Maybe I’m a little bias and just haven’t had enough seat time on the newer machines but these bikes handle so well already I don’t really think you need or use the ABS 99% of the time. In a panic stop situation I’ve locked up the rear wheel before and the bike is still pretty planted. With all the weight on the front wheel I find an experienced rider still has plenty of control as the back wheel doesn’t do a whole lot and is more or less just along for the ride. I think I would be doing a stoppie with the back wheel in the air before loosing traction on a weighted front tire. Poor weather and rain it may be nice to have for a newer rider but if you are experienced and ride to the condition it’s still not bad. I do like the traction control as it seems to work pretty smooth and help put the power down but in conclusion I wouldn’t let ABS be the deciding factor for me buying a bike or not.
Always rode non abs bikes.. had a 17 plate cbr650f for work.. the abs is terrible I'd be worried having the abs on that more so than having a bike without it.. doesn't like to brake at all on bumpy surfaces. And you can't apply the brakes any kind of hard without it kicking in. Wasn't an issue either.. we had a fleet of 15 to 17 plates
Love your content brother. I have a 2012 R1 and looking forward to ripping off some of your ideas. Lol. Could you tell where did you get those flush mount turn signals?
No worries man. I’m glad you enjoy the channel. Thanks for the support! Unfortunately the flush mount signals are a discontinued product. They are crazy bright to! The good stuff never sticks around.
I recently got my 2009 R1 with MJS mid pipe and Akra skip ons, the popping happens when I am deccelerating but I have not actually noticed at which RPM does the popping happens. Usually when does it happens. Its my first litre bike
For my bike it crackles pretty good between 4000-5500rpm but the big backfires with flames are usually around 6000-6500rpm or so. Each bike can be slightly different though.
popping is a lean condition. you altered the stoichiometric ratio (air-fuel ratio) by removing the cat. your fuel map for your ECU was designed to work just right with the cat in place, so without it you’ll need to add fuel to the ratio with a power commander. the goal air fuel ratio is around 14.7 :1
I do have a power commander 5 delivering correct fueling for the intake and exhaust modifications. The crackles and pops are somewhat of a normal characteristic of the unique crossplane firing sequence.
@@ramos5875 Thanks Matt, I reckoned so as well, gonan get it tuned properly but on the fence as my country has really fxxed up and strict exhaust and emmission regulations.... sighs..... Right here we are getting a $1000 ticket for any illegal exhaust modifications. Sucks right??
@@JT2JZ Even with just the end cans will it throw off the air fuel ratio even when i leave the stock mid pipe on? I got to hear my bike when my friend rode it and it sounded really hollow. Seems like other than the decat midpipe, the previous owner had removed a portion of the exhaust packings in the exhaust
Hey man great vid ! Thank you for it ! One questions regarding the R1, I'm currently looking at this bike 2009-2012 & R6 2006-2014, And I've heard quite a few times that it heats up a lot, especially in city. Would you say R1 so hot that it's uncomfortable to ride sometimes ? And if so you is the difference between it and R6 significant ?(should I get r6 instead?)
The Crossplane r1 does run hotter than the r6 but not enough to where I would let that alone be the deciding factor on what bike you choose. It doesn’t bother me at all but I feel like some people are just picky. Both of these bikes will still run hot in start and stop traffic. They are both race bikes at the end of the day! I would say choose the bike based on the power / weight / handling / looks. Not on the heat that they make.
@@JT2JZ tbh my dilemma here is not power, I think 600cc is more than enough. But I just love the sound of the crossplane R1, it's larger size (I'm 6 1), and the way R1 looks with it's dual exhaust & fascia over the R6 Might sound ridiculous, but these are the only reasons I prefer R1 over the R6, am I crazy ? lol
I think you answered your own question. Buy the R1! That’s not crazy at all. At the end of the day these are toys we buy to enjoy and make us happy when we use them. If the sound and looks of the R1 are part of that experience for you then I say go for it. I agree every time I grab a hand full of throttle on my Crossplane I enjoy it more than any other bike I have rode. Sounds amazing and has the perfect amount of power for me. I absolutely love it.
I got a 2011 R1 with Two brothers slip on. What would you suggest, a cat delete or a full system? Also planning to tune it but the margins of tuning are pretty low in old gen, so how did the power commander hold up?
The full system would be a sweet set up if you have the money but I know they are not cheap. If you are going for value I would say start with the cat delete. The stock header seems to flow ok for what it is. You won’t really get alot of performance out of the power commander 5, it’s more for keeping the bikes fuel trims safe. I’ve played around with the fuel maps a little bit but didn’t really notice a big change power wise when riding. The PC5 is going to be your easiest and best value when it comes to the tuning side. My bike does run perfect using it. If you are trying to squeeze every last horse power out of the bike I would say do the full exhaust and look into other tuning options for adjusting ignition timing. If you can advance ignition timing that’s where you will see big power gains.
full system is near pintless, cat delete and muffler is all you need. I gained a whole 2whp on mine with a set of $1200 headers...ended up selling them and going back to stock TI headers
@@JT2JZ yes, many others on the forums net 2-3hp max also. No way would i spend that money again. Luckily i bought it used before i realized how pointless they are after the tune and research, and then sold it for what i paid once i did realize it was a waste.
It sounds different but the performance gains are very small. You won’t feel it in the seat. If you want big power gains that you will actually feel get the ecu tuned.
hi bro, i've recently bought a 2013 R1, and wondered if this cat delete mid pipe would work fine without the need of a ecu reflash? cheers in advance, and great video! 👍
@@JT2JZ thanks for the reply dude, after watching your video, numerous times, I’m extremely tempted to get the mid pipe! Keep up the great work, and thanks again 👍
@@JT2JZ thanks for the info bro, I’m thinking of getting the same decat that you got, and being in the U.K., and delkavic being based in the U.K., I’ll be able to get it and fitted in no time 👌
I have a power commander 5 installed right now. I know that’s definitely not as good as a real tune but it’s better than nothing for now. It would be nice to get a proper tune where you can adjust ignition timing as well because that’s where you would actually gain power. Only adjusting fuel trims with the PC5 is basically just for safety and no major power gains.
If my R1 was a 2015 or newer I would definitely get a dyno tune because they have a lot more freedom reading and modifying the stock ecu. I think options for real tunes are a lot more limited for the older generation bikes like mine unfortunately. I will probably just enjoy the bike how it’s currently set up and maybe play around with the power commander 5 setting a little bit more.
Definitely consider ecu flash it's the best $200 mod for these bikes it removes all the restrictions it really wakes these bikes up look up xplaner1customtuning.com Nick Marino is the best in the business as far as ecu tuning goes
Thanks for sharing that link! So it looks like you buy the datalink harness in order to unlock / flash the factory ecu? Then a tuner has complete control over the factory ecu similar to the newer 2015+ body style bikes?
I can confirm that! My starter failed immediately after I bought this bike. Check out my other starter replacement video if you are curious how bad it was!
@@Simonn.i are you sure? You need somebody behind you with at camera at NIGHT! Youll almost never see it in the day! Plus the longer the pipe the harder it is to see it.
@ it crackles the exact same as it did with the cat, there's no sudden pops and bangs out of the ordinary so I'd assume there's no fire out the back when riding I've recorded the back end stationary just reving it like in this video and no flames Other then that performance wise it does feel like it's smoother to ride, has a deeper tone to it and the exhaust heat dropped heaps
Hey man caught a quick moment in your video where the cans were off. Looked like oem exhaust gasket was gone -- did you have to remove the exhaust gaskets before installing the slipons?
2012-2014 will be the same sexy body style with the updated face lift from previous years (2009-2011). I would say buy what ever you can find a good deal on between the good years 12-14. I don’t really think they made any changes to the bike over the last few years of this body’s style. For me the hardest part was finding one black in colour. Seems like the majority of them are bright or multi colour schemes.
My 09 has a 3/4 Yoshi system and I notice that most of the pops on decel happen around the 5500-6200rpm range, which is nice because in 3rd gear that pretty much standard traffic speeds :D
@@JT2JZ you're the man! Tysm. The gasket appears all but welded to the pipe, how did you take yours off? I've heard cutting it with a dremel or something similar to that
Lol… that’s like Captain America having a big breakfast! Ikr… we must all remember it’s a motor with a seat & 2 wheels….. it’s already blowing doors off cars & trucks! 150-190 horsepower! My friend has a 1300 Hayabusa! Yamaha R1 is already a light frame with 150 plus horsepower…. It’s fast enough for the streets already. I jus bought a 2001! Gtg new tires & helmet next!👌 Let’s ride everybody 🤠😲😂

Still one of my favourite looking bikes!

Ive owned a lot of bikes in my time. This R1 is hands down my favourite.
Nice modification. Looks awesome
Those exhaust look amazing. The carbons 😍
Best slip on pipes in my opinion 👌
Definitely getting a mid-pipe on mine. The heat alone is the main reason. I hate feeling the heat riding up my leg.
It’s definitely worth the upgrade 👌
How did you know how to set the fueling for the mid-pipe? Where do I get this information from. I have a power commander
There are pre set power commander settings online you can download for the specific exhaust set up you have.
Just go to power commanders web sight.

Nick Marino is the best in the business as far as ecu tuning goes
Thanks for sharing that link!
So it looks like you buy the datalink harness in order to unlock / flash the factory ecu? Then a tuner has complete control over the factory ecu similar to the newer 2015+ body style bikes?
just scooped my own 2014 r1!!! can it just be summer already.....
Nice buy! I’ve rode a lot of bikes over the last decade and the 2012-14 R1 is still hands down my favourite! You will love it.
@@JT2JZ just sold my 07 r6 which im already regretting....
but this was the bike ive always wanted. so glad i got a rlly clean one, only 7000 miles!
The R6 is a great machine but once you ride an R1 you will never go back.
A lot of people have complaints about the starter it’s bad on r1
I can confirm that! My starter failed immediately after I bought this bike.
Check out my other starter replacement video if you are curious how bad it was!
Shoots fire now nice! Take a video at night!
Ya she’s a fun bike to ride now! You can feel the back fires in the seat.
I got the same cat delete pipe as you but have dual Yoshi's instead, mine doesn't back fire for some reason
Would you have any idea why?
@@Simonn.i are you sure? You need somebody behind you with at camera at NIGHT! Youll almost never see it in the day! Plus the longer the pipe the harder it is to see it.
@ it crackles the exact same as it did with the cat, there's no sudden pops and bangs out of the ordinary so I'd assume there's no fire out the back when riding
I've recorded the back end stationary just reving it like in this video and no flames
Other then that performance wise it does feel like it's smoother to ride, has a deeper tone to it and the exhaust heat dropped heaps
"Such a nice pipe"
That's what she said!
Hell yeah brother 😆
Glsd you said it, bike sounded the same. Shame caise normally a cat delete is the real game changer for sound
I was surprised as well
Hey man caught a quick moment in your video where the cans were off. Looked like oem exhaust gasket was gone -- did you have to remove the exhaust gaskets before installing the slipons?
The oem gasket no longer fits. You will just be using the clamps
@@JT2JZ sorry about the redundant question haha also the bike looks sick
Thanks man and no worries. I enjoy helping other when I get the chance.
Nice bike bro i also have one!
Thanks man. How long have you owned yours? Do you love it?
@@JT2JZ I've only had it for a month but already love it
Same as me! I’m excited to get more seat time. Such a fun bike.
Lay in to her. What you hit. 110kph? Weak
Everything always looks slow on camera.
insane
What year is this sexy beast?
2012
@@JT2JZ ok thanks
@@JT2JZ I can’t decide 2012 or 2014 I was considering 2014 then I seen you’re sexy 2012 😂
2012-2014 will be the same sexy body style with the updated face lift from previous years (2009-2011).
I would say buy what ever you can find a good deal on between the good years 12-14.
I don’t really think they made any changes to the bike over the last few years of this body’s style. For me the hardest part was finding one black in colour. Seems like the majority of them are bright or multi colour schemes.
@@JT2JZ oh alright that helps a lot thanks 🙏
My 09 has a 3/4 Yoshi system and I notice that most of the pops on decel happen around the 5500-6200rpm range, which is nice because in 3rd gear that pretty much standard traffic speeds :D
It’s such a satisfying sound eh?
Did your oem exhaust gaskets need to be removed when installing?
@@michaelwells12 no idea. Bought mine back in march and the system was installed same day bike was first sold.
Yes the oem gasket comes off, it is to big to fit. The aftermarket pipes are a pretty tight fit and then just use the clamps
@@JT2JZ you're the man! Tysm. The gasket appears all but welded to the pipe, how did you take yours off? I've heard cutting it with a dremel or something similar to that
me losing 7 lbs as a human i feel good asf i can only imagine this bike.
Right
@@JT2JZ Did you have to cut the pipe ?
If anything, you saved 5 lbs.
Ya not enough weight savings to notice when riding. It does sound good though!
Lol… that’s like Captain America having a big breakfast! Ikr… we must all remember it’s a motor with a seat & 2 wheels….. it’s already blowing doors off cars & trucks! 150-190 horsepower!
My friend has a 1300 Hayabusa! Yamaha R1 is already a light frame with 150 plus horsepower…. It’s fast enough for the streets already. I jus bought a 2001! Gtg new tires & helmet next!👌
Let’s ride everybody 🤠😲😂
I want to put the cat because of police where I live. What's your location I can buy the original mid pipe from you!!
Private message me on Instagram and we can set something up. I can ship anywhere.
My insta is jt2jz
@@JT2JZ sent you a dm
Sounds better before
I bet everyone don't see the flame
Stock sounds way better 🤓🤓🤓
I can’t keep anything stock
Alot of back fires
Yes lots of backfires with the power commander. Recently got it pro tuned ( ecu flash from bauce racing ) no more back fires after.
I feel like yoshimura i must louder stock then akra
I think you are right. The yoshi pipes are louder
love the bike and what i want next, but no difference except littler and maybe a tiny bit more of a difference sorry lol
