thats kinda odd. i know that yamis have finally switched away from the 5-valve head and everything (and i think theyll do it soon to the yzf mx bikes too) but the R1 engine is very similar to the 06 R6 design, right? i dont think the R6 had any glitches or anything, so i wonder why they would with the 07 R1.
