Yamaha YZF-R6

[DR6]

But it's worth to wait for a good bike.

 

Did they give you any actual arrival date?

[aRcHeR]

Like to check out with you all R6 riders, recently i just rode on my friend R6-07 bike. I was quite short in term of height and i found difficulties on balancing the bike, is there anyways to lower the bike? (example like making the suspendsion softer) As i was kind of interested of getting 1 real soon if the problem can be solve.

 

making the suspension softer will affect the bike's handling. the suspension wouldn't be able to work as well as it should be. lower too much and you risk spoiling the suspension in the long run.

[Wayang]

if u r too short to handle the bike properly.. i suggest u dun get it.. if not u risk droppin it.. and i wldnt recommend lowerin the suspension.. it wil affect the geometry n handlin of the bike.. wat u can do is cut the seat to make it thinner..

The 06~08 R6 ride height is actually not much higher. If you notice hard enough, the seat s wider, which take up "lengths" when you straddle your legs around it.

 

aRcHeR is right. To add on, there are a few ways to lower the suspension on a bike.

 

1. Adjustable ride height shock. Of course this cannot be done on the OEM shock.

 

2. Reduce the pre-load. Note that if you lower too much (25~30mm track, 30~35mm road), you will not be able to achieve the spring's effective working range (fully compressed to extended).

 

3. Lowering kit linkage (to be used with non adjustable ride height shocks)

 

PS : All the above methods of lowering the rear WILL affect your rake & trail i.e. less agile. Its gets adversely affected if the you lower too much. The front forks will have to be moved accordingly to compensate back the difference. Vice versa with increase in ride height.

me rich???? no lar...those who know me knows im not rich...i work day n night so that i can pay for the aftermarkets parts on my bike.... the rich guy is kenneth ler...he dun need work can ride R6 with so many aftermarket stuff....

Thanks for all the help! ok i will think carefully about it. Actually i was kind of light also, i weight around 55kg only so if i lower the suspension, will it spoil my bike? and btw i dun intend to go track so will it help? I really love the design of the bike.

siong leh..

hehe

i tot the new gen r6 (06,07,08) are much more shorter compare to the before models..

I'm 170cm & 50kg, i cant even move my bike if reversing using my leg, very chialat. Its better to push as what Wayang said, or better, install a reverse gear. =)

Steve O, You are in the "lightweight category. . I am 174cm, 56kg. Wayang is also around that "region".

 

I get off the bike to push even though I can touch the ground with both feet, heels down.

 

Reversing whilst out of the bike is easier once you get the hang of it. It might be slower for starters, but it gives you more control and support.

I it seems to block my vision no matter where i place it around the front. Normal riding, it blocking. NS prone riding, it blocked.

 

This is what i do now
