New Yamaha XJR1300 Cafe Racer Litmited Edition - First Look Yamaha XJR1300 by Ian Ketterer Yamaha quietly dropped its mighty XJR1300 a couple of years ago — another casualty of ever-tightening emissions regulations. And although the 1251cc brute had a solid following in Europe and Australia, it never made it over to the States. The occasional XJR1300 custom has popped up over the years, and this is one of the cleanest we’ve seen. It’s from South African garage builder Ian Ketterer, who operates under the name Blacksilver Customs. He’s added the front end from a Yamaha YZF-R1, designing and machining new triple clamps himself to make it fit — and shortening the wheelbase slightly in the process to sharpen the handling. There’s a matching R1 wheel at the back too, which required a new axle and swingarm mods. Yamaha XJR1300 cafe racer by Ian KettererFull Size A new subframe keeps the ‘bone line’ level from the fuel tank back to the tip of the tail, and Ian even designed a new front fender to stop the oil cooler from clashing (literally) with the new front end. A fine example of pro-level engineering from a home builder. I never thought I was a fan of muscle bikes until I rode a Yamaha XJR1300. It was in 2015 when Yamaha held a global launch event in Sydney for the XJR1300 cafe racer. At the time I hadn’t had much experience riding an inline four, let alone anything with a capacity of over 900cc. Building an XJR1300 Cafe Racer “There were three main areas that were challenging during this project. Firstly adapting the new front end which came off a 2008 Yamaha R1. The triple clamps were designed and manufactured by myself. The top clamp was designed to accommodate the Acewell dial and Rizoma fluid reservoirs. I decided to reduce the distance from the centre of steering stem to the centre of forks in order to shorten the wheelbase. This means that she can turn quicker and is very nimble in the twisties, but it’s a bitch to park. Secondly, I’ve seen too many front-end conversions where the wheels are not the same. So the rear on my bike came from the same R1 donor. It took me a whole week of work to get it to fit. The XJR1300 axle is long and thin but the R1 axle short and fat. So I made a long fat axle and machined the swing arm to suit. As for the brakes, the XJR calliper hangs at the bottom of the swing arm and is supported by a rod. The R1 calliper sits on top and is supported by a slotted block inside the swing arm. To make the R1 brake work I had to fabricate the locating block and weld it to the XJR swingarm. Next challenge was to get a clean bone line from the fuel tank back to the tip of the tail. All XJR’s have a 1-inch drop from the tank to the subframe and my 1998 model was no different. So I chopped off the old subframe and built an entirely new one which was level with the tank. This left me with a pair of shocks that were too short so I extended the top mounts down and made billet alloy risers which were welded to the swing arm. I also had to figure out how to fit that massive oil cooler up front without it interfering with the forks. Part of that process involved building the new front fender which is my own design. I felt like doing something different with a bit of an industrial look. As for the paint I was done for a potential customer who was interested in buying the completed bike. He showed me a photo of a similar bike and I used it as a guide. In the end, he decided not to take the bike, but I’m glad he didn’t as I’m getting to enjoy it a little longer.” Ride and Handling “This Yamaha XJR1300 cafe racer is certainly lighter than the original bike, but the engine is stock standard. It was a low mileage bike but I still had the carbs rebuilt and tuned to suit the pod filters. Not many mechanics like the pods but Rudi Du Toit tuned this bike to perfection. The R1 forks and the Ohlins shocks were also fully rebuilt by suspension legend Dave Mills. Now she sits sweetly on the road and is definitely not afraid of the corners.” #YamahaXJR1300 #YamahaCafeRacer #YamahaCustom #MOTOINTRODUCTION =============== View More ============ Upcoming Bikes in India 2017 and 2018: https://goo.gl/2FkYwi All New Yamaha Motocycles: https://goo.gl/6G9ygd All New Suzuki Motor : https://goo.gl/8NpHHs Honda All New Model 2018: https://goo.gl/Lr1LKt 2018 Kawasaki Model 2018: https://goo.gl/YuUZNv Custom Triumph Motocycles: https://goo.gl/mEMvU6 All New Motocycles in 2017 tokyo motor show: https://goo.gl/KziMNe All New Honda Motocycles at the Tokyo Motor Show: https://goo.gl/v8dMJJ Please subscribe to receive these channels newest video .
