Yamaha YZR-M1 Valencia 2005

Hello everybody AF! :biggrin:

I'm a Brazilian modeler and my favorites are motorcycles kit scale 1/12.
While monitoring the work of the Forum for a while now, this is the first topic that I display my assemblies.

How not mastered the language, I will use a translator, but I hope you can understand my writing.

Today I share with you my current mount, the beautiful YZR-M1, presented at the end of the 2005 season at Valencia, piloted by Valentino Rossi - already known here in the Forums by other beautiful works.

To start, the kit used and the major enhancements, including the Super Detail-up set of Top Studio. The kit is Colin Edwards but the decals will be exchanged for the VR46.

Here the main reference for how I plan to leave the motorcycle
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i292/rcodephotos/m12005/fotom1a.jpg

Particularly for these bikes (M1's), seeing many kits assembled by the world, especially when presented without an enclosure, as in the version I intend to do, a piece especially draws much attention, especially for golden highlights to the engine, which is the cap clutch. Thus, I decided to start applying some technical improvements to this part:

Original part of the tree

Opening of the bolts gradually to maintain a thin plastic along with the new finish

Application of tape in PE with ventilation holes
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i292/rcodephotos/m12005/DSC00019.jpg

Order now and perforated PE applied. The plastic center screw was also removed.

Here components of terminal T2M completion of cables that will replace the screws on the plate

For best finish, the pieces were "polite" in micro-grinding

WOW... looks great.

Very nice! Where did you get your reference photos?

Awesome start!!! Excellent details!!!
Looking more progress.

Pfiouuuu, it makes THE difference.
Amazing job, can't imagine the final step !

Bom trabalho Beto, se precisar sou muito bom de ingles e um pouco de portugues...

Keep up the great work

Guys, new update. Set of handlebars 95% ready, lacking only the reservoirs, wires and cables.
After you run the idea of the hoods, it was time to paint and detail the set screw. Basically all the pieces went to Primm, painting,
drilling and fixing.

The first thing I thought needs to be addressed was the tip of the suspension (canes) on the table, despite being regulated according
to track conditions, the references I have for this race shows that the scale they would be much lower than the reference kit for the
Tamiya FrontFork Set. The parts are aluminum and I decided to lowered.

Great work!

Excellent work!:smokin:

wonderful work !
above and beyond anything I've seen done to a motorcycle kit.
looking forward to the whole build.

Beto

That is fantastic!
And how is the PitWalk Collection for 2005? I wanted to buy a copy, but too expensive or hard to find.
I wanted details of the motor, especially behind the cylinder bank.

hey,
great work,
what spring did you use?
Marcel

WOW, what you make on the levers are models themselves !! Fantastic !!

what spring did you use?

???

Absolutely brilliant!!! :eek2:

I can't believe the amazing realism and attention to detail. I think that is the most detailed set of handlebars I have ever seen. Between the clutch, and the handle bars, I think each part will be a model in itself.

Amazing!!!!!
excellent work

Incredible!!!! I think you will finish the bike in a couple of years with all detail you are doing!!!

markiii,
Send me a PM with your e-mail that I send you the pictures I have

modellerone,
I tried various types of springs are used to ... this steel string guitar that I had at home, unfortunately I have no more references which note, make, etc..

Beto
my god! this is just the beginning, I can not imagine the future.
is a great detail to include a video.

Just curious--what made you want to make the brake levers functional? Just because you could? It's certainly beautiful, just wondering why you would.

I'm building the '08 bike right now (out of the '05 kit) but it's brakes don't work, I'm afraid! ;)

Great job!

Betobrazil - any new updates for this awesome detailed build? - John

Hello friends of AF!
I'm sorry those who did not answer these last time because I needed to take a break with the assembly and am now returning.

Continuing with the line that I chose for this assembly, trying to improve the most original pieces of kit, follow this step with the rear suspension.

The original pieces of kit

Hiroboy, John18d, auw12 and miguel s, thanks for the comments.

racer93,
Make the brake levers functional was a challenge for me, I've been trying to surpass the quality and detail of my mounts with each new bike and I came here this idea ... but I confess I do not want to do again because of too much work! :iceslolan:iceslolan

Hope you enjoy.
More updates soon with the engine assembly.

Beto

(sorry for the translation by google.translate :p)

Beto - it all looks pretty good, but I believe the "adjuster ring" that you made belongs under the end of the spring not at the end of the shock body? - the adjuster is used to apply "preload" to the spring to set the static sag on the shock and the ride height - at least that is how the Ohlins racing shock worked on my superbike when I was racing here in the USA AMA superbike championship. Take a look at your reference pictures again - I may be wrong but I've not seen a shock with the adjuster ring at the location you have it - John

John, thanks for your comment!
According to my references seem to me that is correct because the "adjuster ring" should stimulate the whole body of the cylinder until the beginning of spring.
Unfortunately I do not know this system in practice and only referenciei me the photos.

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i292/rcodephotos/m12005/SpringM1.png

Anyway thank you and another friend, or if you can enlighten us better be valid.

Beto

Beto - thanks for the picture - according to that picture your assembly is correct. What bike is that reference picture from. If the "valving body" can slide up and down on the shock as it looks in the picture then it does the same thing - applying "pre-load" on the spring to set the static sag and ride height. That is the first time I have seen an Ohlins shock of that design - anyhow your scratch build suspension appears correct - thank you for letting me know and posting the picture - your build is very interesting - you are doing excellent work - John

John, seeking more information on the subject, I found a book comparing the "Pit Walk Photo Collection 6 - MotoGP Racer's Archive 2005". In this way it becomes clear that the change in the rear shock occurred after 2005. See photo and text 44, 45:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i292/rcodephotos/m12005/SpringM12005.jpg

Thanks for the compliments
Beto

Beto - that's a very good observation - which Bike is that on? Yamaha? Honda? not sure which - I have all the "pitwalk" books and I will take a better look at them - It is an interesting way to make the shock have pre-load adjustment. I think it is because the adjuster ring would be difficult to reach to make adjustments if it was next to the spring. Very innovative of Ohlins. When I was racing superbikes here in the late 90's we used to have several different shocks and we would replace the entire unit to make valving adjustments and also for spring changes - we only used the same shock if it was a matter of fine adjustments "clicks on the adjuster knobs like "high and low speed rebound" or "high and low speed compression". Very interesting Beto - good attention to detail as usual for you - which guitar strings did you use for the springs in the clutch and brake levers? I really like all you attention to detail - John

John, all references are to put the 2005 Yamaha M1. I think we learned a lot from this conversation and that's good. Thanks for sharing your ideas and experience.
Unfortunately I have no greater reference of guitar strings that I used was a material that I had saved q long in expectation of one day being able to use, as I see it with other materials.

Another step in assembling the M1. Here also decided to increase a bit and decided on a new experience: to separate the original part of the engine cuts in horizontal blocks.
Each part of the engine block is made ​​of a material splits and usually masked paint, however decided to separate them individually to perform the painting and then adding them together.

Engine mount glued to the original

Here the base has already cut the engine, where the top will be on display (would not be in the kit with fairing), so I decided to make corrections of some details in the design of the block.

Beto

Hey Beto--

Great, clean build so far. What chrome paint for the bottom of the engine did you use? It looks very sharp.

Thanks!

Daniel

Beto - that really is an interesting way to section the engine to achieve that assembled look. very well done - must have taken a lot of time and patience. - John

Daniel,
I use Model Master Chrome Silver.

John,
Actually spent quite some time, do as many times as necessary until you feel the way I want. I practice modeling for fun.
Thanks for following.

I guess it was the chrome enamel? How many years did it take to dry? :) (Kidding, of course!)

Why did you section the engine? Easier to paint? I read what you posted, just curious.

The clutch and the handle bars are outstanding!! Realy nice and the best i`ve ever seen. Hope you keep up this work and let us enjoy your build :smile:

Nice and clean！
