Yamaha YZF-R6

[299]

The silver is US colour. We dont get it unfortunately.

 

any reasons tat certain colours are restricted here?

[TiUsTer]

i did both my 1st and 2nd run in at the track also. personnally i feel its good to do it there. not only u can run in ur bike, u can also get familiarize with ur new bike on the track. not forgetting a displined opportunity to practice ur no-brake drill. especially on the 1st run in.

 

hard run in is still a floating issue IMO. mine, i run it at the track....alot of opening and closing.

 

a few bikes on hard run in have blown, but not a standard run in.

 

have u ever seen an engine interior just after a hard run in?

Key Features:

 

* Light, powerful and bristling with knowledge gained from years of racing, the YZF-R6 is the most advanced production 600cc motorcycle Yamaha—or anybody else—has ever built.

* The YZF-R6 was the first production motorcycle with a fly-by-wire throttle system—for flawless response under all conditions.

* YCC-I, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake, introduced in 2007 on the R1, is now used on the R6 to vary intake tract length for excellent cylinder filling and a broader powerband. On the higher-revving R6, its benefits are even more pronounced.

* Slipper-type back torque-limiting clutch greatly facilitates braking/downshifting from high speed.

 

New for 2008:

 

* Over 50 friction-reducing strategies have been employed inside the engine, including the use of wider crank bearings.

* Upgraded fuel injection mapping for the YCC-T dual-injector system complements the higher compression ratio for great throttle response and reduced engine braking.

* A magnesium subframe removes weight from the rear of the motorcycle for increased mass centralization.

* All-new frame takes handling to the next level, allowing more precise turn-in, greater corner speed, and tighter exits. Thicker headpipe-headstock and swingarm pivot area walls, and elimination of the frame crossmember, help achieve perfect balance.

* New swingarm has internal ribs added, and extruded section is now forged to work with the new frame.

* Revised outer fork tubes, a new lower triple clamp, and increased fork offset provide highly tactile front-end feedback.

* Moving the rider and bars forward and slightly lower enhances braking and turn-in performance. Clip-ons are also lower and re-angled.

* Front discs are 310 x 5mm instead of 4.5mm for increased cooling qualities.

* Increased fork height adjustability and rear ride-height adjustment range accommodate a greater range of riders and tires.

* Revised bodywork results in even greater aerodynamic efficiency.

 

Engine:

 

* YCCT—Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle—uses a powerful ECU and multiple sensors to provide perfect, smooth engine response and optimal power whenever the throttle is twisted under all conditions.

* Twin-injector fuel injection: shower-type injectors above each intake funnel help achieve optimum fuel atomization at high rpm.

* Back torque-limiting slipper clutch greatly facilitates braking and downshifting from high speed. Close-ratio six-speed transmission delivers seamless power and maximum acceleration.

* GP-style titanium muffler contributes to mass centralization and contains EXUP for a broad powerband, spot-on injection and emissions compliance.

* Linerless, direct-plated ceramic-composite cylinder bores mean greater heat dissipation for consistent power delivery and reduced friction.

* Cool magnesium valve and engine covers are light and stylish.

* Direct-ignition coils, dual-electrode spark plugs and high-output magneto deliver extremely accurate, reliable firing.

 

Chassis/Suspension:

 

* Deltabox aluminum frame incorporates GP thinking in terms of engine positioning and rigidity for the ultimate in 600-class handling.

* Light, Controlled-Fill swingarm pivots high in the frame, for increased anti-squat effect and mid-corner stability. TZ-type chain adjusters ease rear tire changes.

* Four-way adjustable (preload, high-speed compression, low-speed compression and rebound damping) inverted fork with 41mm tubes increases freedom in setting up for street or track use; soak up the bumps and resist bottoming when braking.

* Four-way adjustable (preload, high-speed compression, low-speed compression and rebound damping) piggyback rear shock delivers exceptional rear wheel tracking and stability.

* Dual 310mm front disc brakes use forged one-piece radial-mount calipers and radial-pump front master cylinder with adjustable lever for astounding braking power and feel.

* The casting technique for the five-spoke 17-inch wheels makes the rims light and strong, not to mention wickedly cool-looking.

 

Additional Features:

 

* Quick-detach license plate holder and rear turn signal mount makes prepping for track days or racing a snap.

* Built-in lap timer is controlled by a right handlebar switch.

* Multifunction digital and analog instrumentation features: programmable shift light, digital speedometer, analog tachometer, dual tripmeters with miles-on-reserve function, odometer, water temp gauge and lights for neutral, high beam, low fuel and turn signals.

sometimes i juz gif up readin all the so called "improvements" listed out by yamaha.. all marketin crap..

 

i wonder if yamaha does anythin wif the feedback from customers at all anot.. take for example the lap timer switch.. they shld take a cue from kawa and make a switch on the left side of the handlebar.. tell me how am i suppose to press the ignition switch when i'm at full throttle..

[hanzi24]

erm the frens around me who did hard run in is running fine.

 

So unity is a recommended place for it? where is it and how much do they charge? And need to leave bike there for how long?

 

Touchwood, what happens if it really blows? Is it covered under warranty?

I read in some R6 forum overseas that the US Model A.K.A the California Models have stricter emmission law to follow. Thus, their bikes usually are either de-tuned or additional restrictors or modification to pass the emmission law. I'm not really sure.

 

On the other hand, recently in the US R6 forum, I also read about the Y.I.S.S (Yamaha Ignition Sercurity System) was not installed on the California Models whereas the European Model (Which the ones we're getting) are equiped with it.

 

So, I'm just glad that we're getting the European Models. I think considering the bike primary on colour choice is not a wise decision if you plan to get one of the California Models.

 

Lastly, I did saw a guy ridding a 2006 limited California Yellow Model on our S'pore street once. Saw it displayed at Mah Motor Upper Serangoon too. I'm not sure if is a true California Model or just the cowlings only.

 

What ever is it, R6 is still my favourite 600cc presently.....

[ambasnakeman]

u r right man....the restirction is on the ecu.

 

they also have a fuel regulator beneath the tank.

 

and that was true california model. no yiss

give me them a call unity : 62781268

[eyz]

you can try tappin 2 wires from the starter switch and connect it to the high beam switch. but tis time, ya'll have the starter turning and high beam lighting up together when ya clock ya lap time.

Hard run-in is subjective (especially in forums). This thread might help you a little in picking a hard of normal run-in. The main decision lies in you. I too made a tough decision some time back.

Question:

Do i have to tow my bike to the Dyno? or can i just ride there? will it cause any harm?

Technically they hv the best advancements up till date, but still they need to improve in its user aspect.

Basically if you comprehend the hard run-in procedures, the initial is crucial. By riding there slowly you did no "harm", but you have already forsaken hard run-in.

 

You can either do it on road, or a more controlled & probably a safer option to tow it to a dyno.
