Yamaha YZF-R6

Gnixer · 23-08-2005, 09:40 PM

anyone know what the common problem is this ?
something like piston ring need change then air box got white smoke from the breather (maybe not the correct term)
the engine oil level drop a little.

thx for giving comments

yctradingsg · 24-08-2005, 10:57 AM

yes...at this stage......mainly FR FS maybe some FT platers have to do a overhaul....
carb model r6 always have cam tensioner n chain problems as well as con rod....dunno y.....but it's got more power compared to the FI models....
can try gg UNITY to do overhaul...

quite worry abt this issue...
i saw a few going in for overhaul already...
is it a Q issue from the yamaha ?
like piston ring out of phrase and the white smoke from the air box

yctradingsg · 25-08-2005, 12:01 AM

i guess it is a norm for the carb model r6...could be coz the previous owner did some whacking before he sold it off.
white smoke from airbox never heard of though...time to bring to the doctor liao....

PauLaBuSa · 25-08-2005, 03:46 PM

does it impy to carb type R1 as well?How much to do overhaul?

yctradingsg · 26-08-2005, 11:51 AM

never heard of carb r1s having this problem....
ask those lao jiaos in r1 forum ba....i not expert also.....hehe

lo-on · 26-08-2005, 12:23 PM

Think the reason why R6 have this common fault is cause most of the riders will frequent track will their bike. On track, there will be alot of downshift of gears during high speeds will will tend to wear out your piston rings more often.

So the thing to prevent frequent overhaul is try not to downshift at high speeds often.

And the other thing is that carb R6 piston rings is not that durable compared to other bikes, but they are problem free, has a higher top end than those EFI ones ...

if u maintain them well ....

not only R6 will go on track mah...lot of other bikes make n model aslo go to track...like what u mention....they tend to downshift at high speed so like that mean that alot of bikes that go track will hab to check their piston ring lor...anyway i think i know what gnixer is toking abt... i saw it myself b4 at a bikeshop that this R6 got so much white smoke coming out from the place where ppl connect the breather hose n it look like it is a 2 stroke bike....

Gnixer · 30-08-2005, 12:13 AM

where would be the nice place to do top overhaul?
roughly will cost how much ?

XejsorX · 30-08-2005, 01:05 AM

As ashyamahar6 suggested, i created this thread for R6 riders.
Let's talk here and share ur views on R6 !

ashyamahar6 · 30-08-2005, 08:29 AM

Actually i suggested just carrying on the thread u started at bike and specs, but maybe change the title a bit to cater to the first gen also. But this works too la.

ashyamahar6 · 30-08-2005, 09:03 AM

2006 Speculation Pics ... Some are reposts but better to collect it all at one location

The one with the K5 shortie end can and larger RAM air intake

The one with twin undertail

The one with underbelly exhaust similar to the speculated kawa 10

yctradingsg · 30-08-2005, 10:39 AM

usually speculation is always different from reality.....haha.....
but i would like to see the r6 get a new facelift after 3 years of consistent looks....

Actual as long as u trust the shop, it will do ....

But of course u talking about reliability would be looi's ....

XejsorX · 30-08-2005, 04:49 PM

The first one is really nice.
Shortie end can which look way nicer than the K5 1000.
Bigger ram air for better cooling, maybe to cool some new features of the engine.
And the inverted forks remains.
Overall sharper, meaner looks.
A beauty!

299 · 30-08-2005, 08:37 PM

any specs wit regards to new model?

XejsorX · 31-08-2005, 12:55 AM

Hope it will get some extra horse power~
That's one of the most important stats to be added in.

No have or at least i cannot find yet, usually specs come out after an official release, review and test ride. Now picture or official release also haven disclose ... tink must wait a bit more.

Hope they dont change too much or put too much goodies, or it'll make our second gen sixxers abslolete and ill be damn freaking jealous of the next guy with his new ride.

walawe , was psyched up man, still am, and i tot missing out on the sun moon design was bad

MS · 02-09-2005, 12:54 AM

Yamaha bikes in SG are

[+ve]
->Financially Easy to maintain
->cheap to maintain (excluding post crash repairs)
->Easy to modify
->parts easy to find and at lower cost
->cheap insurance
->easier to find/change dealer; better customer service

[-ve]
->Parts design not as clever as Suzuki in the terms as a mechanic
->material feels inferior compared to kawasaki and suzuki

Hence overall, yamaha is always a good brand to support!
With the new R6 coming in, it will usher in a more competitive environment in the track! WOW!

an arm and a leg

i have no idea, u riding which year one, first gen or second gen.

maybe can ask stingrhea, vector one does such mouldings but must wait till the sixxer is out and someone does a ferring mould so they got a template. Most probably the it wont fit since they revamped the whole design, need to put additional mounting to secure to the chasis me tinks.

the whole ferring w/o tank and paint cost 700, just the tail maybe less than half of that.

kawi71 · 03-09-2005, 01:15 PM

Hmmmm..... so which is the latest R6?? the underseat exhaust or the side exhaust???? Would prefer the side exhaust. Look trick!!!!! Who cares about the pillion when u can have a bike like tat.
