Part: Engine

Video tutorial

The disassembly of the Yamaha R1 engine block can be carried out by loosening the screws that secure the engine block to its housing, which will be located in the central lower part of the motorcycle: once the engine block fixing screws have been removed, it will be possible to proceed by disconnecting the cables and intake and exhaust manifolds.

Now it will be necessary to unscrew the screws that secure the cylinder head and then locate the pistons: by removing these from the corresponding connecting rods, it will be possible to proceed by accessing the crankshaft and thus replacing all the components.
