Hi please someone tell me I'm missing something obvious being a newbie! In the owners manual and Yamaha website the fuel capacity of the YBR tank is listed as 12 litres, so how come when i fill it up the needle is on full after about 7-8 litres of fuel is in? Cannot figure this one out unless it has a huge reserve tank which it doesnt, cheers.

Hello! First of all, sorry for my lack of skill with the english language I have bought an R1 seat unit to my Yzf750R and I need to find a color code so I can paint the seat unit. My local paint dealer says he cant find any code, and i've been searching for one on internet as well. I have the grey/black/purp colored yzf and I need to get the code for the grey color. Thanks! / Fredric, sweden

I have a YZF 600R Thundercat that has an intermittent problem. Occasionally, and under load, when it gets to 5500 rpm it feels as if it has a spark missing. This goes on till 6500 rpm when it clears. I have bought a new coil and swapped them around. I have bought new plugs. I have had the carbs off, cleaned them out and also replaced the fuel filter. Could it be the plug caps and if so where can I get some as they seem to be rarer than chickens’ teeth? The only other things I can think of are the throttle sensor and the management system, but naturally these are going to be expensive to buy just to eliminate them. Could this be a bigger problem than I think? Hel…

Just wanted to pop in and say hello to everyone. My name is Jeromy, I just purchased a new 2007 Yammy R6S. Been riding it for almost a week now, love it to death. My first bike and I think I made the perfect choice. The bike makes leaning comfortable, has awesome throttle response, and for short rides, you almost forget that your leaning forward. Anyways, this is just an intro, so...Hey everybody! Keep on ridin'!

Hi, Can anyone tell me how the bodywork of the R6 changed from the 99-2003 model to the 2004 model? Basically i have seen a guy selling a seat cowl that fits a 1999-2003 model and im trying to find out if it would also fit a 2004 model?? TIA Rich
