    I have a MINT 2001 R1 with only 20,000 miles on it. I have to say this thing gets compliments everywhere i go, especially the fueling portals! To give you an idea how meticulous I am with this...the bike is washed after every ride, regardless of distance, only used filtered water, meguirs gold class or NXT shampoo, dual bucket method and a microfiber wash mitt. Its dryed only with a microfiber drying towel. Then the chain is degreased with supertech and waxed with gold superwax chain wax. The oil gets changed every 1000 miles with 10w-30 full synthetic (usually mobil 1 or castrol superbike) and a new filter. It doesn't leak, smoke, or consume any oil! The bike has NEVER been down! Clean & clear title in hand!

    Twice a season the coolant is flushed only with distilled water and then a 50/50 prestone mix is added. The brake fluid has been flushed and replaced with Dot 4 Valvoline full synthetic.

    Maintenance:
    -New Yamaha fuel filter @19k
    -All 9 new coolant hoses @ 20k
    -Religious synthetic oil changes
    -Religious regular washes/waxes
    -New Michelin pilot powers F&R @18k
    -Tires filled to 36psi F&R
    -Bodywork removed then hand cleaned engine/kickstand @19k

    -brake fluid flush
    -Carbs cleaned/Sync'd @ 19k
    -coolant flush

    Re: think you're anal?

    I used a special lawn irrigation enabler device, aka a hose, and a special synthetic H20 and detergent application device, aka a sponge.
    And I washed it after every ride. Granted, it was a 5 month long, 3000 mile ride with occasional breaks for sleep food and work.

    Re: think you're anal?

    130 HP is about right for that model.

    Lubing an EXUP though? That's not right.

    No Nitrogen in the tires? Slacker.

    2000 - 2001
    At a claimed 150 horsepower at the crank, top-end output remains the same but changes to the engine management system are supposed to result in a smoother, broader distribution of power.The bodywork is still unmistakably R1 although a few changes were made resulting in a 3% reduction in the drag coefficient. The headlight housing has a sharper profile, the side panels are more aerodynamic and slippery and the windscreen has been reshaped for better rider protection. In fact the bodywork changed so much that bodywork from previous R1s will not fit the Y2K edition.
