Can I fix an oxygen cylinder in my R1 air intake?

Question

Only when performance is needed. Oxygen goes in instead of filtered atmospheric air. Bike is a Yamaha R1 but sometimes lacks power

Answer 1

Pure oxygen would be explosive (ever been to the hospital and seen all those "Warning!" signs?). It would be like strappiong a bomb to the front of your bike, and engine heat or exhaust heat could set it off.
Kind of a short life, and an unhappy.
Nitrous Oxide Systems (NOS) are relatively safe, although they can shorten engine life. The gas is still highly flammable (when mixed with fuel), but is somewhat less explosive than pure O2.
If your R-1 lacks power, you should take it to a mechanic who specializes in tuning for the track. Your bike can be a monster, if you turn a good wrench loose with a mandate to get you more power.
Cheers

Answer 2

If you're lacking power, check compression and plugs. Only play with gas if you're deliberately out to wreck your engine, or you're making passes at the drag strip, where you're planning to re-work your engine regularly. Liter-bikes usually don't stand up well to exotic fuels without certain reinforcements and improvements, a hotter burn means a hotter engine means a bigger cooling system means more weight etc etc etc. If your R1, which is a pretty fast bike, isn't trying to dislocate your shoulders when you give er the gas, go for a full tune-up, have ignition module and so forth checked, air filter, fuel filter, contaminated fuel, oil change, plugs/compression/etc. Also check to see if your brakes are dragging at all. Put the bike on the centerstand and see if both wheels will turn by hand in neutral. If they won't, you could put a jet engine on the bike, and still just be wasting fuel. Bearings are also a potential cause of feeling 'loss of power'. Moral of the story is, cough up 400 bucks and get it to the dealership and have em go through it for you. They've usually got all the parts and can have it done in a hurry, especially if you put the appointment a week or two ahead of time. It's a good time to catch things like sprocket alignment, low gear oil level, stiff chains, all those other nagging little details that prevent your bike from rolling freely down the road, which is a basic component of any approach to performance. Get the basics right, and your R1 should do it's best F-16 imitation when you pin the throttle..., or, failing that, or after you've done all that and you're still not happy, then trade in the R1 on a Hayabusa, or the ZX-14. Lots of naturally-aspirated bikes out there that go WAY faster than you'd ever want to on a public road...and you could get into a 'Busa for under 10 grand used, now...how fast DO you want to go? Hmmmm....

Answer 3

i guess not, if you really need power you might have to go nitro. because you wont be able to control the oxigen mix percentage with air.so the results may not be as you expect.

Answer 4

forget it ,go for NOS for more power instead.
