Yamaha R1 installation
Hi all, been a long time since I have been on, finally getting back into the build of my vortx.
I have a question and am looking for help in what I need to do to, if anything, to the 2008 R1 engine I have. Specifically I need to know what
modifications are needed to the fuel area and the loom.
Sorry I'm not able to be any more specific but I am starting this with absolutely no idea how to proceed.
All help, comments and suggestions very gratefully appreciated 
Jason

cam cover mod
another to read
Mine was ok on the road but once put on track i had a big problem with it breathing oil heavy out the crankcase breather
this was solved by putting a home made oil separator between the breather outlet and the catch tank
also running an oil cooler to keep temps down on track days is a must imo

Kev, thanks for the info I'll get cracking with those mods. So for the fuel system did you have to modify to accommodate the return to the tank?
Cheers Jason

As far as I know you'll need a sump baffle and the breather/cam cover mod' as in the first link.
The problem listed in the second link is now believed by Andy Bates to be due to removing the EXUP valve and not fitting anything to avoid the
resultant fault code (search for "EXUP widget" .
For fueling you'll need a Powercommander (or similar) to adjust the fueling and a 'cat in the system. The standard R1 cat in the silencer
won't be big enough to pass the IVA.
Loom wise have a read through Rob Collingridges Fury build site. It has a good description of how he went about it. His is a 06 5vy but should still
help. I'd fit it as standard, do the mods required to get ride of the starter cut offs (side stand, clutch and neatral switches) then get it
running. You can then cut out anything you don't need and extend other bits to fit piece-meal and restart after each mod' to make sure it
still runs; If you make a mistake you know it's the last bit you did.

It was still undecided when i was installing mine so i kept everything in that the bike had exup etc and not had a problem
just removed the wires i didn't need and extend the ones if needed as u said
As for a fuel system im running the bike fuel pump this way i didn't need to run a fuel return as its all sorted in the pump

Garage is too cold, the wires inflexible, so I'm leaving my latest 4C8 installation for the evening...
4C8 very similar to the 5VY, just a few more wires for the throttle, lambda and the floppy trumpets. EXUP can-of-worms is still there on both, so take
the route that you wish. Beautifully simple. Using the R1 pump in the tank will also give you a low fuel warning, so that'll help too.
Unfortunately, the rods and gearbox are made of chocolate, but the engine is incredibly reliable if cooled well and looked over frequently. You
won't need anything else than a sump baffle and the cam breather. Torque isn't good, but it will rev it's little heart out.
Being competition orientated usage I wire out the interlock fuel relay, running a pump switch on the dash, fed from the ignition switch live out. I
also block off the fuel manifold regulator and run a stand-alone with no vacuum feed, helps pick-up AFR mapping, but has the disadvantage of inducing
short injector pulsewidths and more emissions at idle (this later point may worry you).
