    08 r6 starting problems

    in Naked

    Posted

    hi all,

    having problems starting bike.

    all started couple weeks ago after washing bike, i would hit the start button and it would turn over but wouldn't fire up unless you gave a fist full of throttle. i took it out for a long ride to dry it all out cos i thought maybe water had got in the electrics, and that seemed to of have cured it. but today i tried starting it and it wouldn't fire up unless i pinned the throttle back. but i noticed this time that when turning over and not firing the temp sersor reading would flash between hi and low readings.

    any ideas

    cheers john

    08 r6 rusty down pipes

    in Naked

    Posted

    hi all my bike is 18 months old and the down pipes look like 10 years old.

    any ideas what i could do to stop them corroding any more?

    on chopper style bikes they use exhaust wrap but it makes the exhaust run hotter, would it be worth me putting some on?

    or would it do something that could bugger it up?

    any help please

    cheers john

    Hi John, have you been out on the RR's yet? im thinking of getting some for my 2008 R6 and just wondered how good they are.

    Cheers Dave

    yeah been out on them they give pleanty of grip in the cold, duel compound works a treat last set managed to wear side of tyre before middle!! they also make the bike quicker to steer,

    you can see them fine with brake on, you just have to find the right ones.

    i showed them to my usual mot tester, and he said as long as you can clearly see them there should be no porblems

    whilst running in the r6 and getting very bored! i decided it would be a good idea to try and sit more up right with just fingertips on throttle and other hand on tank, cos my back was killin me.

    was doin alright until i went round a slight left hand bend! stretched out throttle hand and accidently opened the throttle wide open, almost throwing me off and pulling a cracking wheelie :o

    I paid a bit more attention after that!!

    08 R6 Service Intervals

    in The Bar

    Posted

    service manual says after first service at 600 miles the next service should be at 6000m miles or 12 months whichever is sooner.

    so what the manual saying is that you should have a annual service every year unless a major service comes up eg. 6000 mile service done instead

    hope this helps
