now im regularly 12ing my r1 the bastard keeps on pumping oil into the air box, especially when i park it on the bar, anyone know how to fix this prob

 

Apart from selling the R1 and buying a decent bike

Better look in the Stuntlife main forums for posts....

 

theres alway's one
hey was that your feet i saw flying over your head the other night

 

bwahahahaha, good to meet you too mate :P

 

Corey, dude, i stunt my R1 also and man they are gay for stunt bikes, they are so unbelievably week, especially in the frame, im gettin me a CBR600F4i as soon as my finaces let me... i recomend you do the same.

hey bro... i had the exact same problem with my 2000 r1.....the only solution that i have come by is this...

first take off the hose that goes from the motor to the air box and make sure that u plug off the open hole which the absent hose leaves..(the big one at the back) get some same size hose....about 3-6 ft(but u can use as much as u want)...also get a piece of 2 inch diameter abs pipe (i used about 4-6 inches)and 2 caps...also 2 fittings with a barbed end on one side and threaded on the other....(i used 3/8 fitting) make a cylinder with the pieces and put the fittings in the middle of the caps...(drill a hole in the middle caps seal it with something that is oil resistant) run the hose that u got from the back of the motor to cylinder that u made...and on the other end of the cylinder run a long piece of hose towards the steering head along the side of the air box,around the air box then back down towards the tail...end the hose somewhere that i wont leak oil on any vital parts....

this will not stop the oil from going out of the motor but it will stop it from going into the air box and hydraulically locking the motor..(has happend to me and it sucks a$$) the oil will have to fill the hose and the extra chamber that u built..then when u set the bike down it will run back down the hose into the motor...

P.S. keep rippin the R1....we need more yamahas out there....some how a few obsolete manufacturers aka suzuki and honda have made a name for themselves in the stunt world ....lol yamaha kicks a$$ lol

if u have any more questions just personal message me....ive probably gone threw all that problems that u are having...later

 

thanks dude, you been a big help. ill get all the parts and give it a go. :YEAH luke the 03 fraims are really week and no matter witch bike you get you gonna have to mod fraims sooner or later. ive done extencive fraim mods to my bike and now is as stiff as a 17 year old in a brothel stick with the R1 dude, why go down on the food chain im going to get a 03 motor and slap it in my fraim as soon as i can

 

Don't put any oil in it.

 

Put Honda 710 in it

 

Dont use car 710

 

tony D just got back to me and said to just block it off and put a cupple of breathers in the VC. so ill try that first and do a sump pressure test. oh and uncle............................................. ......................at least my bike dont serve evryone up. lmao

 

Sounds like a down side to me 000.Crashing is fun.Painfull but fun

 

agreed, but not when you get tawn a new *******

 

true so so true..

 

F4i all the way. R1's r gaaaaaaabage! And i even own one myself! But just to rip on the streets or the track. Be lyke lukey and get an 600! Just my too, the sub frame on that bike is damn near bullet proof!

 

uuummmm no thanks, i like my R1 just fine. i dont fancy being like everyone else.

 

G that makes sense, you bought an R1 didn't you?

 

i like the bike, not everyone is so into stunting. i do on average 60,000kms a year on my bike and its not all on the back wheel dude i just like riding, the r1's got a s*** load of power and as far as im concerned is easy to ride. what im saying is every man and his dog thinks that you have to be on a fireblade to do a wheelie, like i said i like my bike

 

im only a novice stunter

 

No worries mate. If i was commuting id ride the wheezy too! Honda's feel like your sitting on a fence, no good for distance! By far the r1 is the best all round bike in my eyes, as for lukey luke, he's just a internet stunner! Although i will say his chin feels great on my american, "Ball bag!"
