Yamaha R1 Two Wheel Drive (2WD) tested by MCN

MCN (Motorcycle News Magazine) from the UK has some amazing videos on Youtube. Here they're testing out a Yamaha R1 superbike with additional front wheel traction. Wow, that sounds interesting. Really wondering how this takes cornering better. Enjoy the video here!
from MCN's site:
"MCN is the only publication in the world to have ridden the Ohlins two-wheel-drive Yamaha R1. Watch the video for a tech explaination of the 2WD system and see MCN's Trevor Franklin take a test ride on the revolutionary machine at the remote Karlskoga track in Sweden."
Yamaha YZF R1 Off Roading
Have you ever seen this? A super sportbike made for mad speed and mean cornering transformed into a off road motorcycle. From what I can tell, only the handlebar has been changed. Ok, this is an older Yamaha YZF R1, but he certainly must have softened the shocks to get through the woods. Seeing this, it reminds me that I have to stop whining when I drive on a dirt road.
Engine Warning Alert Light
in error code 42, Yamaha R1, YZF-R1
Yesterday I noticed on the speedo that the 'check engine light' was on. I got very nervous. At first I thought the symbol resembled a gearbox. When I came home, I looked through the Yamaha Owners Manual and found it to be the check engine light. Error code 42 also shows up in the speedo. Error code 42 stands for faulty speedo sensor and/or faulty neutral switch. In my case it's the speedo sensor. I have not had the speed showing up on the speedo and knew something was wrong. I have to take out the tank and find out
Yamaha YZF R1 losing tire pressure
in tire pressure, Yamaha R1, YZF-R1
I hate it, when I got the bike, the first time I drove it, it felt really weird, it wanted to keep going in a straight line. After visiting r1-forum.com (best site on the subject) I got some good pointers. The reason was almost so obvious I totally ignored it: tire pressure. I measured only 12psi in front tire and 15psi in rear tire. Gosh... Problem is I pumped air in the tires to spec (36psi in front 42psi in back), the day after it went down like 5 psi. I hate this stuff. What does this mean? Do I have to change the tire or valve? I have to figure this one out what the cause is. Maybe I should just put a tube in to avoid this in the future.
