What spark plugs do you use for your R1?

I read a forum that iridium spark plugs are useless if I have a tune on the R1. Currently, I have a 3/4 exhaust (SC Project), stock air filter (will get HiFlo Filtro air filter soon), and 2WDW ECU flashed. Not sure which spark plugs to get.

Edit: Forgot to add that I did smog block off plates and eliminate servo/plugged O2 sensors.

Loose Sensor Plug

2024 Yamaha R1

Akrapovic 3/4

Bike is tuned

Hello, I was checking my bike and found the plug dangling. I tried to screw it but i kept rotating so either i made a mistake the plug itself is ruined. Also i assume it comes with a washer but I guess it got lost when the plug comes out when riding.

What should I do? Also i don’t think it’s safe to ride it.

No check engine even when plug out

Is this oil level fine? Checked it 5-10 mins after an hour ride

But my low oil pressure light still came on after I ran it above 230kph?

Broken 2008 R1

A friend is offering me his 2008 R1. The stator / generator case blew a hole thru it. Any idea what I may be dealing with here? Any odds the Stator / Generator just let go and the motor and trans will still be salvageable? I’ll hopefully have time to tear into it next week.

2023 R1 front end ticking on acceleration

Hey guys, i have a 23 r1 that started making this noise all the sudden when accelerating, seems to be coming from the front end somewhere.

It seems to not be present when decel/engine breaking like in the video. Almost sounds like cam chain tensioner area.

Bikes only got about 5000 miles w a handful of track days.

Any idea?

Display Yamaha R1 2007

Hallo, mijn display werkt niet meer. De indicatoren voor richtingaanwijzers, neutraal... werken wel, maar niet van mijn toerenteller en snelheid. Ik heb de zekeringen gecontroleerd en daar is niets mis mee. Kan er iemand mij helpen hiervoor? thx

I’ve had my 2024 R1 for about 1.5 years and now it’s suddenly refusing to cold start. This actually began before I installed a brand new battery, so that isn’t the fix. You can hear the engine cranking and trying to catch, but it just won’t fire up. Any idea about this?

I have a 2020 R1 and I hear a noise coming from the clutch. I've seen that many people say it's normal, and comparing it to other R1s, it makes the same noise, but should I be worried?

Bought my first R1

My first liter bike a 2002 R1 with 14k miles. I bought it from the original owner who happened to be an older gentleman that taken very good care of the bike. There really isn’t a scratch on it. Guy was very anal about keeping track of the maintenance and anything he did to the bike. Which is something I really admire and look for when buying a used motorcycle.

Is my 2017 r1 running (too) lean?

Hi everyone, some months ago i bought this r1 which is straight piped(with an artisanal titanium mid-pipe and a spark grid-o muffler with db-killer added by me when i bought it) but with no map.
It pops and bang a lot and my friends are saying i should stop riding immediately and remap it as soon as possible.

I've got an appointment to remap it but it will be in like almost 2-3 weeks and i will probably take the bike to a trackday sooner than that, do you think by listening to the audio that their concerns are true? (I hope you enjoy the video too)

2026 Yamaha R1

SC Project GP70-R 3/4 system Air Injection System removed & block off plates installed o2 sensor cables removed ECU tune/flash for remapping and to match exhaust

I know if someone did all of this but didn’t remove the AIS then the backfire would be constant on deceleration sounding like a gunshot or explosion. On mine around 8,000 RPM down to 4,000 RPM on deceleration there’s always one backfire, but it isn’t insanely loud.

I would assume that is normal. The stock cat and muffler will muffle that sound a lot vs deleting the cat and installing an aftermarket exhaust.

Anyone else have a 2020+ R1 and have similar mods done? Just curious on your opinions and thoughts in regard to potential engine damage.
