For 2014, Yamaha offers the YZF 1000 R1 as a sport motorcycle with 998 cc on tap. The 2014 Yamaha YZF 1000 R1 is built around a Four stroke, transverse four cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 12.8:1. Out on the road, the YZF 1000 R1 delivers 133.9 kW @ 12500 rpm of peak power and 115.5 Nm @ 10000 rpm of torque. Flat out, it's quoted at 280.9 km/h. In everyday use, the 2014 YZF 1000 R1 tips the scales at 206 kg, carries a 18-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 835 mm and spans a 1415 mm wheelbase. Every technical detail, from suspension travel to tyre sizes, is covered in the full 2014 Yamaha YZF 1000 R1 spec sheet below.

2014 YZF 1000 R1 - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: Peak output on the YZF 1000 R1 is 133.9 kW @ 12500 rpm and 115.5 Nm @ 10000 rpm of torque - strong numbers for what it is.
Large fuel range: With a 18-litre tank, this isn't a bike you'll be stopping for fuel every hour - a real asset on longer trips.

Considerations

Tall seat height: A 835 mm seat puts flat-footing out of reach for a lot of riders - sit on it in person before committing.
Chain final drive upkeep: A chain drivetrain is the most common setup in its class, but it's also the one that demands the most regular hands-on maintenance.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

With Liquid cooled, thermal management is largely automatic, but the coolant has a service life of its own - replace it on the manufacturer's interval to protect the water passages and thermostat.

Brake disc and pad wear

2x 310mm discs 6 piston calipers up front provides the primary stopping power; inspect disc thickness and pad wear at each tyre change to catch scoring before it becomes a rotor replacement.

Suspension condition on used examples

Suspension duties are handled by 43mm inverted telescopic fork w/adjustable preload, compression damping, rebound damping; up front and Single shock w/piggyback reservoir; adjustable for hi-/lo-speed compression damping, rebound damping, spring preload, at the rear. Weeping fork seals aren't a dealbreaker on a used bike, but they're a fair basis for negotiating price.

Final drive maintenance

Chain final drive on the YZF 1000 R1 means routine lubing and tension checks are part of ownership - skip them and sprocket wear accelerates noticeably.

Frame & chassis check

The Deltabox V aluminium chassis holds up well with normal use; on a used bike it's still worth checking the head-stock and swingarm pivot area for impact damage or corrosion.

YZF 1000 R1 - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

A pre-purchase check on the 2014 Yamaha YZF 1000 R1 should cover the same ground every time: service history, chain and sprocket condition, and any oil seepage around the casings. Start it from cold if you can - a well-kept YZF 1000 R1 settles to a smooth idle within seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Oil changes are the cheapest insurance you can buy for a YZF 1000 R1's engine - keep to the manufacturer's interval rather than stretching it. Use the viscosity grade the manual specifies, not whatever's on sale.

Carburetor upkeep

A YZF 1000 R1 that's sat unused is almost always a carb-cleaning job before it runs right again - float bowls and pilot jets first, since they clog before anything else.
