2001 Yamaha R1 - $5000 (Sudbury)

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

Im close to him. I washed my bike once last year.

[DBConz]

washed mine once last year too. but was yours washed with filtered water :lol

[Pittenger5]

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.

[bigred875]

thats ocd not anal

[Hoss]

Wonder what would happen if it started to rain while he was out? Special filtering umbrella?

Who the hell calls a gas station that?

I have to say this thing gets compliments everywhere i go, especially the fueling portals!

[Devil1]

I saw that add today and thought the same thing. FUELING PORTAL??? He's probably foreign.

[loridin64]

how about only 130rwhp? isnt that a little low for an R1, especially with mods?

[MotoFreak]

at least he didnt say 200+...

thought the same thing. arent most stock 1000cc bikes close to 150hp?

[ChR1s]

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.

daytrader, did you clean the Duc with filtered water last night?

[RyanNicholson]

speaking of cleaning (this is random) I picked up a can of that spray clean & polish that used to be the honda cleaner....never used it before but holy shit. my bike went from a dirty dust magnet in the garage to a show bike instantly.

i was so impressed i used it on my entire truck as well haha
