Yamaha R1 engine in a gokart - Michael Pierce - 07-25-2017 A friend of mine decided to stick a Yamaha R1 engine in a go kart. Well its beautiful and insane all at the same time.  Onboard and Exterior videos of it below, doing an 11.6 second 1/4 mile drag strip.  It has a problem with the paddle shift, and hes having to let off the throttle every shift.  However, it should be straight through with no lift. We reckon with the paddle fixed, it might do under 11 seconds.
