5 Things I Hate About My 2023 Yamaha R1 

For the fuel guage situation, I use the fuel consumption screen. It tells you how much fuel you use as you ride. I guess it's sort of like a reverse fuel guage haha. The gas light usually comes on when you hit 3.5 gal, and I'll just reset it with the wheel when I fill up.

I use my trip 1 to track my gas and trip 2 to track my oil change and chain clean

1. Fuel gauge From all the 1000's this bike is the most track oriented, you dont need fuel gauge on track. Besides it DOES have low fuel warning light. It switches ur f-trip on display. Plus if you arent a brainlets there are plenty of ways to track your fuel 2. Quickshifter down You are right, but only below 6k rpms, quickshifter works best in high rpms. Downshifting in 7,8,9k + rpms is CRISP, how have you not noticed this? 3. Passager seat Completely agree, girlfriend also rides backpack with me and hates it. Buuuut it is a supersport bike made for laptimes on track, its like buying lambo and then crying u cant fit ur kids in the back. 4. Laggy throttle response The default ecu maps - A,B,C and D have all different throttle response, make sure youre in correct mode. As others said, the bike is heavily restricted from the factory, an ecu tune will solve this if it persists. 5. R6 and R1 looks the same Idk what to tell you, they do look very similar, but there's this badge on the side that reads "R1". If you buy mustang 5.0 you can complain it looks similar to inferior v6 3.7 model.

Dude where you live? Niceville? Those were the coolest, most patient group of drivers I've ever seen. I got to spend a day on a R1, loved it.

Every issue u described would go away with a dyno tune. Remember those bikes from factory are highly restricted.

I could get used to not having a gear indicator, but no fuel gauge = anxiety! 😅

With the downshifts just rev match. Ok i hear ya 👍 i love rev matching & have never used a auto blip. With the backpack it's crazy in my mind they can see the tach & speedometer. I can remember being young & on the back of one. You need a tune bro! That computer holds your bike back A LOT, it's drive by wire, meaning computer controls the throttle, not really you. At 100% throttle the computer controls how fast the throttle plates, butterfly valves open in the throttle bodies. My 03 has none & is faster ET than a stock new R1, without a tune. Be safe bro.

I have not one complaint about my 23 r1. Your bike looks stock, mine is far from stock though. My q/s and auto blipper is butter smooth not sure why yours feels this way ( hopefully your not d/s on the throttle). My girl hates the backseat as well. You need to tune the suspension it helps with a passenger, also EBM - 3. Your throttle response problem are the factory restrictions. BAUCE racing for a tune 👍

something that kinda bothered me about your video, was your outrageous finger placement on the front brake. I have never felt such levels of discomfort.

I just wish I could tune out the stutter in my low rpm’s in my motorcycle

Hey, legitimate complaints. However, these R1's are heavily restricted from factory. One of the most restricted bikes out of factory actually. An exhaust and an ecu flash will definitely sort out any throttle issues. The back seat issue, well, the only answer to that is, get a harley Davidson if you want a comfy passenger. I agree with the no fuel gage issue. Seriously yamaha. I believe this is the 5th gen R1 now and still no fuel gage. My 2014 Ktm superduke had a fuel gage, and im pretty sure some of the other superbike brands have a fuel gage too. Have you tried using the trip gage?

The delay you could solved with a new sprocket (?) or a tune, but you would void the warranty with the tune

What part of Texas you guys ride at.

Liked the comments. More like areas for improvement.

And bro get out the middle of the lane when you ride

I just spent 18 bucks for the r1💀8 bucks alot of crazy

Do u even ride if ya can't differentiate a R1 from a R6 or R7. I mean ok they all have a very similar looking tail but to say ur bike is slow means u heard the bike and if u know a little something about bikes u can very well tell apart the R1 engine from the other ones... So don't mind those imbeciles dude, u have a great bike!! :D

Full exhaust and tune will completely change the bike mate stock exhaust really restricts the power on them
