The bike can take it, problem is if your body can. It won't be comfortable. I've heard of people riding up Thailand with their kups before. So yes, it is possible.

hello bro! i was at bikeworkz doing servicing also, it was on wednesday during the rain. saw alot of r6's there as well. there was a red one, and a raven black with hotbodies undertail and termi pipe.

wanted to ask, shouldnt we be changing NGK cr10ek or cr10hix since our plug heat range falls under the 10 category?

anyway what filter were you using, how come you changed to stock air filter?

 

Mine was the white red R6 You can use 9s-10s no issues, just don't go too low as lower number = hotter

I was using stock, asked ah beng for BMC he said no stock only got KNN. So I bought new stock ones to replace. Maybe next filter I'll use BMC.

[Metal_Heart]

u shld be using a CR10EIX

 

You can use 9 or 10. Just don't go too low

guys,just wana share..Chance upon this side ..> http://www.motosport.com (US based website).

 

I ordered the saddlebag for my r6s 2007.30 for shipping to Singapore using TAQbin.Awaiting delivery now.Apart from that the site is informative.

 

They sell Yamaha OEM parts with diagrams and labelling for a clear distinctive description in relative to the bike.

 

Cheers

i see. you mean to say the stock paper type is $50+? thats pretty expensive. im using BMC racing air filter now, but im worried the filtration isnt good and the dust particles will get into the throttle body and injectors, thats why im planning to revert back to the oil coated paper element stock air filter. any advise?

Now no more haze liaoz. Lesser dust particle.

Haha

any bros here experienced any gearbox problem before? im not sure if my clutch plates have already worn out or is it my gearbox. shifting frm gear 2-6 has this clunk noise like frm neutral to gear 1.

if u dun need additional performance then stock filter offer the best filtration. but theres always a compromise so decide what u need more.

when was e last time u change ur EO? whats e mileage on e EO?

[aswad]

last time i changed my eo is in may. no idea the milage tho.

wat EO u using. wat spec.

try furthering ur biting point. it might help

[aswad]

im using motul 300v. ive tried furthering the biting point too but its still the same. and when i clutch in, the bike still moves abit but very slowly.

most likely its gone. care to share ur total mileage?

[aswad]

wats gone? total milage is 82k

tts a lot of mileage. shld be ur clutch plates

okay thanks man. actually im still wondering whether to pump 95 or 98 fuel. not sure whether it will have any difference to the bike or performance/effienciency etc. anyone can enlighten?

i tot so too.. thanks again blueblood

of cos it make a diff. dun realli knw how to explain the number diff(diff country hv diff standard) but e higher e number, the better it combust,more performance, but lesser mileage. go try a tank of v-power n 95 n u will confirm feel e big diff

[motorfreakk]

cn I know whts the diff between YZF-R6 & YZF-R6(CA) ??

[motorfreakk]

got mine at imotoring. cheap n nice enough. not shabby bracket. or u can go seng kwang to make nice but ex bracket.

 

noted ! thnks bro !

the reason why v-power feels better is that they added racing addictives for that petrol. it practically uses the same fuel base as the 98 version.

 

i've read on many research websites that say higher grades of petrol are not neccessarily better for engines, they do not translate to better performance nor efficiency etc. Many professionals actually encourage us to use the minimum required petrol grade instead of pumping a grade that is higher than required.

 

that is just my opinion though. if we use 95 for our bikes will it harm the bike in anyway in the long run? simply put, is it okay if we pump 95 or do we have to pump 98? thanks for your input!

definitely won't harm... petrol is after all petrol (applies to local petrol, your mileage may vary up north. i always pump 97 there...)

 

for cars, sometimes pump 98 can have a little extra mileage. probably not enough to offset the $ difference though. bikes probably not.

power gains, if any, are only due to the ignition system being to advance timing a LITTLE bit, again assuming the ecu can take advantage of it.

only other "advantages" of higher grade petrol might be due to extra detergents etc etc, maybe pump once in a while to pamper your ride a bit. of course the best way to clean your engine is to run it hard!

 

in fact pumping 95 (again, in sg) might be a better idea because enough people pump it that the petrol is always "fresh", i.e. hasn't been sitting in the storage tank for goodness knows how long.

 

at least our petrol doesn't have ethanol mixed in... most other countries do.

CA=california?

if u jus wanna know if 95 will harm ur bike? the answer is no. other then tt is a long debate so we can skip tt

okay thanks for your input! havent done it before, but i guess 92 fuels will cause engine knocking am i right?
