What kind of engine does a 2000 Yamaha R1 have?
First order of business was to see if we could get more horsepower out of an old carbureted R1 (my 2000 was the last before EFI) than a new cross-plane crank version. Some of us just like carburetors the way we like steam locomotives. They’re hoary old dirty tech now, but at least you have a shot at understanding how they work.
What was the first update to the Yamaha YZF R1?
In its first update the YZF-R1 gained over 150 modifications, all aimed at taming the beast. After launching the bike, Yamaha discovered very quickly that the two-wheeled world wasn’t quite ready for a bike as violent as the 1998 model and it needed a bit of restraint.

For 2002 Yamaha gave the R1 a very clever fuel injection system that thought it was a set of carbs. It wasn’t, however by using a CV carb-style vacuum piston to regulate the flow of air into the engine, the R1 had the same beautiful throttle response as a set of carbs.
How many horsepower does a Yamaha R1 have?
They are 150hp, 385 lbs, 1395mm. Compact, light and immensely powerful, the original R1 engine has, in just two years, established itself as the runaway leader in the large-capacity supersport category.

Why was the wheelbase of the Yamaha YZF-R1 short?
Compacting the engine made the engine much shorter, allowing the wheelbase to be shortened. This allowed the frame design to place the weight of the engine in the frame to aid handling because of an optimized center of gravity. The swingarm could be made longer without compromising the overall wheelbase, which was a short 1,385 mm (54.5 in).
How long does it take to repair a Yamaha R1?
The procedure involves removing the engine from the bike, splitting open the engine cases, and completely removing and reinstalling a whole new gearbox – a job that Yamaha estimates will take at least 16 hours of labor, plus around $500 in parts. The parts kit Yamaha is providing for the repairs. As you can see, it’s not small.
