  1. Hi, dont know if anyone can help... I am lowering my 2007 R6 my aprox 30mm drop. By my not very mechanically minded head, i think this will make the side stand a bit too long. Can anyone tell me if i can adjust where the side stand is fixed or will actually need to worry about the side stand or know if an older model R6 or R1 has a shorter side stand that would fit my 07 R6. I seem to recall the 2004 R1 is a lower bike than the 07 R6. Any advice much appreciated. BTW - already looked into cutting and welding the existing stand, problem is they are made of monkey metal and if i weld it, the stand will crack under the R6 weight.
  2. when is the best time to advertise bike bits and bobs? I know jan is the longest month in the year cashwise and traditional bike season really kicks off properly again easter, so when is a good time to start ebaying some bits i have?
  3. Hi Quick question, has anyone else tried to lower an R6? I have a 2007 and bought some new dog legs to fit, having a couple of issues though TIA Rich

    My 04 R6

    Hi Just wondered if someone could give some advise or opinions. The devil sat on my shoulder and told me to go and look at my local Yamaha dealer to see what prices i could get an 04 era R1 or a nearly new R6 for. Turns out they are similar price. Anyway i have a 2004 immacualte R6 with only 7k on the clock and all the papers etc etc etc and they offered me a very low px price. I then went to bike shope not that far from me who had a 07 R6 for 6k and offered me 3500 px for mine which i thought was not bad at all. Another place only offerred 2500. Thats a massive difference. I have seen similar sell for around 4k marker on piston heads so have just added mine on there. What should i expect private if a shop offer 3500? Is there anywhere i can advertise that gets better interest etc? Should i look to ebay or is pistonheads a good start? I tried to pay for upgrading my a/c to advertise here but the payment option did not appear so could not proceed. Thanks for any advise.
  9. Went to look at a 2007 R6 today with the idea of selling my 2004 R6 - also ended up looking at a 2005 R1 - now im torn on what to do. My 2004 is mint with low miles, so i dont know whether i am wasting my money swapping over or not I know what i would get private sale, and px. The dealership gave me a fairly accurate price from their glasses guide. I have only been riding a couple of years, so not sure if the R1 would be the best move at the moment. Any thoughts...

I need to change the spark plugs on my 2004 R6 Are there any special tools i need Is there a basic how to guide somewhere on this forum (i have tried a search) I have seen a set of 4 NGK spark plugs via Ebay for £20. Is this about the right price, and recommended plugs? Many thanks

    Exhausted

    Anyone know if you can get the short GP style exhaust as per on the later R6's to fit my 2004 R6? Think they look a lot nicer than the standard 2004 can Cheers
