Yamaha Crossplane Crank - Why the R1 Sounds Like That
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2018
- My favorite supersport. A rather physics heavy explanation as to why the 2009 and up R1s have such a unique sound despite having an inline 4 engine like the rest of them.

Thanks for the shoutout, that video was awesome! the right mix of technical/not technical narration and collection of illestrational videos.
I didn't pay much attention to the Yamaha video with the inertial torque because I assumed it was just tehcnobabble written by the marketing department and was busy squinting at the super low res picture to confirm the crank configuration/firing order but now it makes perfect sense, I had the wrong preconception as a non-rider as I read an explanation of "big bang" firing order that basically said even firing "screamers" tend to wheelspin if they break traction, but uneven firing "bangers" will regain traction after breaking it, I suppose this is partly right but the rotational inertia comes in to it too.
Interestingly some riders prefer Inline 4s and some prefer crossplane 4s. Takes all sorts I guess.
Engine balance (as felt externally) is a whole other issue, I have a better picture of why flatplane I4s "shake" like they do now, this is probably better investigated in inline twins as all sorts of crank angles have been tried with them with all kinds of results.
Your overlay of the flatplane/crossplane videos shows the difference in firing interval very well, my editing skills aren't at that level yet.
Thanks for blessing us with those demonstrations lol, they're brilliant.
Nice last name😉
What a brilliant work 🙂
^This!
Very unique definitely subbed
Insane how much that light things actually sound like the engines 😂
Right? It was such a revelation for me. It also gives a good idea of how quickly the engine is firing when idling because you can kind of make out the combustions still at that point.
- The illestrator - yeah exactly, really fascinating to watch!👌🏼
Yup, take a pulse and speed up enough and you can get a tone. Speed it up and slow it down and you get range. Listen to some speedcore and it works perfectly.
I'll try replicating that sound using a microprocessor controlled sound system and hook it up to my bike with a 🔊😂😂😂😂
Also, half engines sound like their doubles assuming the crank configuration is the same, example the crossplane 4 sounds like a crossplane v8 and so on...
Class is in session with Professor Illestrator 👨🏾💼🤫
Lmao, it was so trippy considering I was actually in a teachers chair in a classroom
@@Theillestrator1050 I peeped that. You really took the teacher role seriously 😂😂
As a pro motorcycle Mechanic (BMW Tech) I think you did a smashing job explaining, well done sir :)
This is such a great channel. Man I am so glad I stumbled upon this a few months back. I learn so much.
I learned more in 20 minutes on youtube than i have at school in 2 weeks.thank you.Motonosity's R1 is what made me love sportbikes
does it have to be Motonosity ? Could it be your neighbors R1?
One of the absolute best videos. No crazy loud music, just lots of solid information. Well done as always sir.
I've had 3 R1, 2007, 2014, and now 2016. Also Yamaha Silver Star technician. You did a damn good job explaining the X plane. I know other techs who are 10 years in and still can't get a grip on this lol
Riders Against Irresponsible Drivers hey bro what was your favorite year r1? There's a 05 r1 near me for sale for a pretty good price. I just wanted to know if I should go for it or get something newer
the illestrator is inclined in life
definitely a motorcyclist's god sent angel

I love the way you narrate your videos! Damn! You should do some full-on 1 hour videos. I know it's long, but when you do these informative vids, you give background; you make it entertaining; and I always walk away thinking that I wish I could give more than one thumbs-up.
Thanks for the praise!
You earned it, mate! Much respect! Just don't go forgetting us little people, who subbed your channel when it was still growing, when you make it to the Big Times... producing your own documentaries.
;)

he takes motorcycle enthusiast and moto-vloggin to a new dimension BOSS HOG HOLLIGANS
EXCELLENT video. I am a mechanic by trade and you did an excellent job. I love it.
That's a relief. If the mechanical guys are thumbing up I can be proud lol
I still come back to this and tell my friends to watch it because you explain the concepts so well, are passionate, and mix in plenty of examples of that lovely R1 rumble.
I was just thinking how that firing order sounds like American V8 muscle and lo and behold I wasn't the only one. Great video, you're definitely underrated against other motovloggers.
I stand alone on this one but, I have to disagree on the looks of the R1. Current R1 looks amazing. Last gen fairing has a face only Erik Buell can love.
Lmao, I think that ugly angry face suits the sound. The new one is too squinty for me
Great video. I’m a mechanic and understand this, but the way you explain it is the best I’ve seen/heard. I didn’t know this about the R1 and it explains why I thought the R1 that blasts past my house every day had a V4...when I know it doesn’t. Keep up the good work
You explained something and I understood, are You a wizard?
This should be in the Education category. I can’t overstate how much I learned. This was fascinating!
Good to know!
Damn brother!
Knew the concept of Yamaha Crossplane before, but have never seen it explained so thoroughly. You just got a new sub dude!
Audience analysis!!!! Great job explaining the intricacies! You made it so ANYONE could understand. I just bought a 600rr, but now I’m curious about Yamaha!!! Thanks for the lesson mate.
Funny story: I went to a Moto GP race and heard the M1 above all other bikes. I was stunned. All life priorities shifted and had meself an R1 within about a week.
What it’s like: When I ride by at speed, kids hide behind moms, animals flee, birds scatter, and men turn and pause. No joke. I’ve never seen a deer while riding my moto through the woods. Ha, my riding buddy has a badass super duke and nobody takes notice.
The R1 sound affects living things. It’s shocking.
Eagles and birds too they attack me and cross my driveways 😂😂
Best way to put rider experience😂
Be having a "kipper for breakfast" next thing you know ...like the boys n girls in ROADS STILL DRYING ARMOY ROAD RACES on the old You Tube rabbit hole and this new interweb thingy me bob.
I've had a crazy 2x4 swinging mad man, a fist swinging soccer mom, a suicidal fool run in road, a guy pumping a pellet gun , next to my favorite wheelie hill in front of his house, bats, bears, dogs, black cows sleeping in road at night, patches of ice , blow outs, broke chains, wheel bearings fall out, no brakes, missing gears, no headlights at night,
gas tank leak out and soak me wet-
I haven't even mentioned the law yet.
The way the dude put together the sound of the bike with the firing order is amazing . put a big smile on my face haha
This is the best explanation of crossplane engines I have seen. I just recently came across your channel. I love the way you mix humor and info.
I love the R1 and aprilia tuono sound.
It’s glorious.
All 4 bangers should have this crossplane crank even in cars
15:00 It is very rare that I experience that kind of joy from watching a UA-cam video.......
I am thoroughly impressed and delighted all at once.
Loved the explanation, and as soon as the first R1 drove off I said to myself , "that's half of a V-8". Love the sound of a cross plane, and now I know why.
Bro, I wish you was my history professor back in college. That dude made leaning 🤢. Any plans on doing more “history of” videos? I loved the buell one!
Lol, of course there'll be more history type videos. I just got to get better at keeping a schedule if videos have to be multi part
Collin, don’t forget you studies in the English language.
Gang Of Four this is UA-cam, fuck all that :)
@@gangoffour6690 burn
my history teacher used to make me lean so much they taught i was on drugs and it made me quit school for good.
thank you for taking the time
As a mechanic and engine tuner you explained it very well, I'd known about the noise but not the configuration. And now that you've explained it so well it makes perfect sense.
You’re channel is brilliant! As someone eager to get into biking but can’t because of my age, I essentially have to get my bike fix by endlessly watching and learning about them instead. Thank you for providing such informative and engaging content 👌
Yeah boss now you speaking my language
You did amazing job man I did not come here and expect an entire lesson holy crap
This is such great quality. I learned so much in this video. I've been reading about these crosspane engines for years and never truly understood, but I do now. Thank you
Wow I have to say you did a great job explaining it without making it boring. Your channel is great keep it up!
You'll have 100k subs in no time with quality like this. Lol just remember us og subs when you do..
Hispanic Girls Twerking he will do really well, I subbed Fort Nine about 2 years ago when they only had 30k subs. Now Fort Nine has almost 400k. The illestrator’s content is just as creative as Ryan’s on Fort Nine.
Visited your channel and left very disappointed
Lmfao @DOUBLE0SEVEN "WHERE ARE THEY!?" *batman voice*
@@Theillestrator1050 😔😂😂
Damn, your yt name is misleading.
Well, this engine sounds like a *NASCAR* car or like a *V8* muscle car
One of the best descriptions of this process I’ve ever seen!! Thanks for this!!
Great video mate, thanks for the lesson. Your light-hearted narrative kept it easy to watch an absorb. looking forward to the next!
Your production quality is reaching new levels of professionalism. I'm a mechanical engineering student, and you're teaching me more than some of the classes I take. What's your major? I'm humbled to have met you now lmao. Look at me all clamy, I met a New York celebrity. Lmao jk jk. Great video man, I love em. Keep them comming.
Thanks brother man. Your praise has ME humbled more than anything. I'm a political science major. Beyond all the politics, it just means I know how to research and write.
You are a mechanical engineering student and you do not know this? Do they grade on a curve, you must be at the bottom of the curve.
@@ohwell2790 are you a yoga major? You seem to have your head up your ass
Whoever disliked this, could not keep up mentally😂. Awesome video my man, well thought out, well articulated, well produced!
My mom walked in while I was watching this and she thought I was studying 😂 she had told me to get off UA-cam ! Plus I enjoy watching this
Kids need teachers like you. I knew about V8’s, V-twins and parallel 2 and 3 (triumph fan) but never thought about 4’s. Thank you for this video. You just got a new subscriber Sir.
After 30k miles on my 14' r6, if it aint crossplane it sounds wrong to me. I love crossplane. All hail yamaha. Side note, you mention if one day there'd be an r6 crossplane, its been out since before 14'.
I love a 2006 R6 myself. Rough, but you'll smooth out... :D
@@ruikazane5123 yup. Get in where u fit in.
Why do car inline four sound different from motorcycle inline 4s?
Smaller displacements tend to give higher sound output maybe
Motorcycle engines rev much more than car engines, that produces a distint sound
The tolerances of a motorcycle engine are much higher than a car engine. Ever wondered why a Nissan micra with a 1 litre engine has about 1/2 to 1/4 of the power of a motorcycle engine 1 litre? Tolerances my friend
wrong. It's the state of tune..comp. ratio, camshafts, valve size, throttle body(s) emissions, drivability, etc. Cars need a much broader , and lower rpm torque/horsepower curve.
Al you right however so was I. All the things you mentioned require higher tolerances and you wouldn’t see a Ford Focus with compression ratios of a motorbike and the power to weight ratios of course play a part. At the end of the day motorcycle engines are designed to higher tolerances because they are not built to go to Tesco’s, they’re made to be on a track or caning it down a motorway. (Most anyway)
Outstanding video. Commentary, explanation, detail. All of it!
Dude, amazing stuff. Top to bottom, start to finish, this is exceptional-quality content. Thank you and please keep it up.
Cross plane r6 when tho
Not sure, but isn't it weird how they tried to patent it... and then put crossplane in the whole FZ line. But the r6 still isn't.
My guess would be that in a 600 all the power is at the top, and the cross plane is inherently less balanced, so they kept the flat plane to keep the rev limit as high as possible.
@@TheTomco11 the flat plane has better primary balance so it will be smoother up to the mid-range, but the crossplane has much better secondary balance so it should be happier at high rpm.
Yamahar
What’s the deal with British and Australian people making an R sound at the end of words that end in an A
That’s how it’s supposed to sound. English is our language and has been for hundreds of years. You’re just borrowing it mate.
Pardon? I learned it was proper to say pardon. So, pardon? I would beg to differ, my good man. The pronunciation of a word is based upon a set of established rules. None of those rules allow for words ending with an A to be pronounced with “Ar” At the end.
The British and Australians will soon be speaking Ebonics.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Another great video i had already researched all this years ago when i bought my first r1 and still this video is the best put together explanation i have seen!
Great explanation, man! It is so literal but no one else had explained it clearly. Keep it up!
One of the best vids ive seen in a while. Everything was creative about it. Very good explanation! Good job
You broke this down perfectly. Even for people who arent mechanically inclined, they should have no problem piecing it together. Great video
Dude I’ve been a mechanic for 12 yrs you did a better job explaining it then I have with some of my costumers
I connected the video to the TV and it's amazing, i learned a lot and had fun, thanks for the hard work, it's totally worth it.
My dude, this was awesome. Just got my 2009 and have been trying to learn more about it. You taught me what I wanted to know and it was great!
The best video to explain the differences of flat and crossplane that i've watched.
This was awesome, I didn't know much about the cross plane aside from the crank shape, and the gorgeous sound, and learning how the firing order is different really pulled what I was hearing together. Good work!
Awesome video! I finally undertand it! And I had searched about it before, but no other source I saw explainned it this well. Thank you very much.
this is BY FAR the best explanation of Engines. Let alone a sick sick modern R1. I love that raw sound, f'n hot
This is my first visit to your channel and it was awesome! I'm just smart enough to understand very complex subjects but not smart enough to figure the stuff out on my own. Very well delivered, sir.
Fantastic video. The best I've seen on the subject for a mechanically inclined non-engineer.
Thanks for taking time to make this video! I really learnt alot!
Bravo Brotha! Literally the best explanation I've ever received regarding the cross plane motors. Education for real.
That was really good! Remembered this stuff from high school, 20 yrs ago! Great video!
Great explanation. After many failed attempts with other material on this subject I finally understand it.
Great video, well researched, well written and edited. You're like that favourite teacher from school who was always able to explain anything so well, it just clicked!
Dude thanks for breaking this down. I love the sound of the crossplane Yamahas but had no idea of the true configuration until this video. Good stuff!
Man you just cleared all my cross plane doubts! Crazy informational!
Awesome video as always! Watched with hubby who already knew about this and said you did a wonderful job. I on the other hand learned a lot watching this! Thanks for another great video!!!
You did an amazing job explaining this stuff Mang. A lot of work !
By far the best explanation of this I’ve seen
Feels like I'm in class, But not bored outta my mind! This is good stuff!
After a while, I finally watched the entirety of this video, and was a really interesting watch!! I recently made a motorcycle company as my entrepreneurship project at school, and with this I can further develop my company!! This was an insane breakdown of a simple yet complex topic, and you executed it flawlessly!!
Awesome video man. Had me cheesin’ as everything started to make sense. Thanks for sharing!
Really great video man. I really enjoyed it. You had a great balance of technical ideas, simplified very well.
Great video, excellent job at explaining the concept. The thing with the lights/clicks and tacho was genius too.
Love your channel man you do so much research on these bikes. Happy I found your channel.
You told the story so well( no I didn't fall to sleep) that even I got it! Thank you sir.
I already knew all this stuff but your style and delivery are so good I had to watch it, and you did a great job at giving a simple yet accurate explanation, keep up the good work.
Awesome. I was worried the mechanic guys would be like "umm no.." Lmao
Great stuff. Kept hearing crossplane and imagining it was just the orientation of the crank and pistons. Never really understood it until now. Thanks and great work!
That's sound demonstration was just *chef's kiss*
I watched tons of videos and tried to read all kinds of text about the cross plane crank on the r1 but I never could completely grasp it. You hella put it down for me in a way I could grasp it, thanks b😉
This brought much to light for me friend. Thank you for sharing.
That was a great video put together logically. I think you did a great job displaying information to knowledge levels from IDKS to mechanically inclined.
My friend this is the first time I saw one of your videos I just happen to search regarding the cross plane and I must say love your attitude and that was the most perfectly defined reasoning and theory behind this crankshaft. Thank you very much my friend I intend on subscribing and following but you made it completely understandable I like it keep up the good work
Very well done explanation video. I learned quite a bit thanks to The Illestrator. Keep up the good work.
This is a really comprehensive video. So well made!
Great video man, you didn't explain like you were talking to kids, but you made it easy to figure this out and easy to follow.
Great video... i work on bikes and you showed me things that had been right under my nose that i never realized or understood. Thanks... shared.
Awesome video, I already knew most of this stuff but you put it together so well it made me feel like I understand it better now.
Excellent video lots of info learned, thank you for taking the time to do this video 👍🙏
Dude. Ive watched this like... 15 times over the last year. I love these types of videos. It's like a college lecture I actually want to attend. I've learned a lot from these videos. Keep it up, man!
The way you argue with yourself to get the info across is sublime. Killing it on spreading the knowledge. Keep it coming and I'll keep watchin. Video idea- common engine types and where/when to shift to stay in the power through gears. So many ppl trying to bang through gears on fz 07 like they are on a R1
Dude, excellent vid. All the info I wanted on the topic in a very easy-to-swallow format. Enthusiastic thumbs up.
One of the best things I've seen on UA-cam, just awesome. Well done. 👍🏻
This is a very great explanation and presentation of the concepts and application, being a college graduate, you definitely have a knack of presenting information with a presentation that woulda kept me awake more in undergrad classes
Another great video. I love your technical and history videos. Keep up the good work man 👍
Great job man, a great explanation of cross plain without boring facts.
I was familiar with this concept but seeing the visual demonstration really cleared things up. Great job on this video man
I'm a mechanical engineer and you did a beautiful job at explaining this concept. I knew how these mechanisms worked before watching this video but still watched the whole thing because I appreciated how well it was elaborated to the point that a layman could understand the general concept of the mechanical functionality as well as a professional engineer. If my engineering classes in college were this entertaining to listen to, I would have become a professor in this shit.
Great video man, keep it up.
I believe that this couldn’t have been explained any better. Keep up the good work boi
Great video. Not a lot of people take the time go in depth and explain the actual engineering stand point
