In this episode at Proven Power Cycles, we take a 2018 Suzuki GSX-R1000R through a series of upgrades and customizations that not only overcome a significant challenge but also unlock astonishing gains in performance. Join us as we delve into the intricate process of installing a high-performance Yoshimura exhaust system, executing a precise 520 chain conversion, and fine-tuning with a custom dyno tune to extract every ounce of power from this beast.

The journey wasn't without its hurdles. We encountered a critical issue - a faulty fuel pump that was causing noticeable power loss, putting our project's success in jeopardy. However, with expertise and determination, our team tackled the problem head-on.

    I love the fact yall took the time to diagnose the problem instead of just been like yeah we can't help you! Great job
  • Great video! I also have a 2018 GSXR1000R I bought used last year, with only 2910 for mileage. I have felt it’s having an almost identical issue. This is a huge help, and the comment you made about the dirt is spot on!! My bike appears to have been in a body shop as I took it apart and see lots of body shop dust all through the entire machine. My guess it was damaged and fixed at one point hence the low miles. I’m gonna get a new fuel pump and fingers crossed, with the new full exhaust, tune, and air filter I can see this type of response. Thank you for sharing this information! Big help!!

  • @dg8062
    Very respectable. I'm an "older guy" too, 63. I have a mt10 with a yoshi Alpha T 3/4 decat system. I found it new on eBay for like $650 from a dealer that wanted to blow it out. Great deal. That and a $300 Flash and you have yourself one hell of a fun machine!
  • @brianw3499
    Love the content my dudes. Keep up the great work fellas...🤙🤙
  • @ianeklin8672
    Really like how you guys do a good job explaining as much as you can without getting too detailed and losing people like me that aren’t full on mechanics. Some other channels I’ve seen definitely make it seem like it’s just a flash tune and you are good to go but clearly not always the case
  • Real talk I’m just trying to find the time to get to Tampa from Orlando. But these guys are the only ones that are going to touch my bike. GUYS THESE VIDEOS ARE THE BEST Lehman term explanations on YouTube. DUDE LITERALLY TEACHES YOU ABOUT MOTOR TUNING. CHRIS AND THESE GUYS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT DO. HATS OFF TO YOU GUYS. YOU DONT HAVE TO BUT YOU DO. PROVEN POWER
  • @jdkirk2603
    Great video you guys! Just like you me myself and other people like learning the more technical stuff ..keep up the good work hope the channel grows alot!
  • @kylejf9059
    Stumbled across this channel by accident one day and been following for a few weeks now. Really enjoy your way of going through issues and seeing what was up. Bizarrely, I thought somehow the ECU had corrupted out with a potential bad flash initially (until you said he hadn't flashed it at all). That ever happened at all for you guys previously?
  • @notoriousbills
    Idk, if you’re tune price is the same as when I had my 08 busa tuned at you old spot in Tampa back in 2019. But 500 for a tune a diag plus additional labor for repair. Is the way to go. Cuts the guess work in half. Worth it imo.
  • @timsinclair9027
    Good diagnosis, glad you figured it out, customer should be happy with a new bike
  • @QuicKurtZX14R
    Good work, Thank You for sharing your findings, would've thought an injector before the pump
  • @K-carbon
    The yoshimura system looks and sound great 👌 and i like the way you remove the vavle motor most would leave it in
  • @joshtonelli3319
    Very good video again. Some time when you get another bike that changes sprokets, can you go over the benefits of it with the different number of teeth?
  • WHEN DO YOU RECOMMEND AFTER HOW MANY YEARS TO DO A RETUNE. I DONT THINK YOUVE EVER COVERED THAT. AS MOTORS AGE THE TUNE SHOULD FOLLOW THE MOTOR
  • @johnayeee640
    Love watching the videos but dang you repeat a lot of things you say, get to the point lol
  • @jadijada7887
    Yoshimura is by far the worst exhaust system you can buy for your bike. It sounds like total shit total waste of money and you know this man.
