How to Straighten Motorcycle Front End ? Wrecked Yamaha R1 Rebuild - Part 8

We carry on with the wrecked R1 rebuild!
Today we put back the rear subframe, with the battery box, relay holder, and harness.
I take advantage working on the bike to fit the clutch cover freshly repainted on the engine.
And I want to make sure my forks haven’t turned in the triple clamps or are set in an off position because of the wheel axle and/or the front fender.
So I tell how to straighten a motorcycle front end: I loosen the lower triple clamp, wheel axle, calipers and front fender so that there is no stress on the forks. Shake the bike when it’s vertical and tighten everything back in place in the right order.
Oh, I also needed to paint the upper triple clamp so it’s in a finishing worthy of the rest of the bike, that bike will purr soon…

Hi I'm Tristan!
I live in New York and when I'm not working on my fitness clothing line (yoked.net) I DIY with intensity 😅
For now, I restore wrecked motorcycles. So I disassemble, weld, machine and fix those bikes so they can go back on the road!

Great work. The original is powder coated. With paint.. keep it thin, esp on inside corners where that washer is. 🙏🏽

@TristanDurandBuilds 3 года назад

Yes after primer, paint and clear coat it’s definitely not thin anymore

I need to do a frame swap on my 5VY soon. This video is brilliant to see how you rebuilt your 4C8. Thank you!

@TristanDurandBuilds 2 года назад

Thanks Dax, I’m glad it helps ✌️

@SanjanaRanasingha 3 года назад

Yes! I wanna see it back on the streets!

Just wait a few hours then, I post today 👍

@AlunChurcher 4 года назад

Been following you from the start of this build. Great work buddy. Can’t wait to see how you finish it. And I know that feeling when you screw up the nice work 😂 Will you be changing the colour scheme or staying with the original?

@TristanDurandBuilds 4 года назад

Thanks for your comment Alun, I appreciate it 😀 It’s going to be a completely different livery (I want to make it worth it after all that work 😅)

@bccapone837 Год назад

Great job but you tightened the lower pinch bolts before the stearing stem nut which wouldn't allow the centre bolt and lower triple tree close together properly, you have to do the steering stem nut before the the lower triple tree clamp bolts 👍🏼

@Nuriil 4 года назад

you are underrated

@TristanDurandBuilds 4 года назад

Well I think so too 😅😅

@NOONE-hp8bw 4 года назад

Never had an issue with paint just always given it plenty of time to 100% cure

@TristanDurandBuilds 4 года назад

It always does that for me. I’ll try epoxy in a different part and see if it improves ✌️

@NOONE-hp8bw 4 года назад

@@TristanDurandBuilds I wait at least 2 days before I put any real pressure on the paint

@TristanDurandBuilds 4 года назад

Yeah I agree on that, I even had parts that waited for weeks before I touched them but I feel like that thickness is too much (primer, paint, clear coat) I’ll find a way though

@fuckingfuckaduck 3 года назад

@martindyn4896 2 года назад

OEM triple clamp is likely powder coated.

@DupekCSS 2 года назад

OEM clamps are either powder coating or anodized.

@henrikhh 4 года назад

Use Cerakote, it is very strong, and there is a lot of colors.

@TristanDurandBuilds 4 года назад

It ya is for that Henrik, I definitely want to try it. Not on that part but I’ll try a different one very soon ✌️

@RideThe6 4 года назад

There's easier ways to get those bolts in the ignition out too instead of drilling. I just did it on my r6 top tree. Dremel tool, heat and extract. :)

@TristanDurandBuilds 3 года назад

Dremel seems like a lot of time spent on those steel bolts...

@RideThe6 3 года назад

@@TristanDurandBuilds All you do is just create slots in them and use a flat head screwdriver. I've done it 3 times now :) It's not bad.

@TristanDurandBuilds 3 года назад

Oh I see, yes of course that works 👍

Yo ma man,, just wanna thank you for these videos,,, i crashed my 06 R1 and ive been following you steps to the point that ive managed to build everything back and it working properly,, but ive noticed that my front wheel is touching the lower and side fairin,,how do I rectify this problem

@alexluz7023 3 года назад

powder coating is the way.. nice work

@TristanDurandBuilds 3 года назад

Yes I only discover that now 😅

@karloman00 2 года назад

Gonna reference this video when i attempt to straighten my lower triple . Do you know if r1 and r6 torque specs are same?

@TristanDurandBuilds 2 года назад

I’m not positive but they should be, same design, same material…

@geordiesaid225 3 года назад

Had these myself as well unfortunately with the paint, once you are tightening up it cracks. You tried maybe to not clear coat the area where the washer will be?

@TristanDurandBuilds 3 года назад

I realized it’s indeed because of that clear coat that doesn’t have enough hardener indeed, it stays soft Since then powder coating became my best friend so no more problem 😅

@geordiesaid225 3 года назад

@@TristanDurandBuilds haha powder coating is a great thing for sure, way to go. At the moment I'm on a marathon of your videos 😂😂. keep up the great work and the videos coming 🙂

@LeeTillbury 4 года назад

How's that chemical resistant lacquer on the frame and swingarm holding up dude?

@TristanDurandBuilds 4 года назад

Well I’m not too sure so far but I can say that contrarily to a lot of “hi quality” products it doesn’t budge with acetone, so it’s a very good sign. I’ll make sure to tell you guys how it ages when gas is running on frame or other parts I painted 👍
