Yamaha YZF-R6

[Gnixer]

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]

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]

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....

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....

Well that is one thing that i heard of from mechanics ....

[Gnixer]

where would be the nice place to do top overhaul?

roughly will cost how much ?

[XejsorX]

As ashyamahar6 suggested, i created this thread for R6 riders.

Let's talk here and share ur views on R6 !

[ashyamahar6]

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.

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

 

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

[XejsorX]

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!

[XejsorX]

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.
