My 2000 R6 had the same problem and I linked it to how i was cleaning the bike. As I used a steam cleaner water was being pushed into the coils causing the engine to misfire and cut out at low revs such as slowing down for traffic lights.
Hope this helps.

Guys don't know if you are building a bike from scratch or have damaged panels but have you tried going to a paintshop to get a quote for repairs, shouldnt be too expensive and your local dealer may be able to help with that.

Hi guys long time no see haven't been around due to the lack of a bike, though now in the hunt for a new one. Hope all is well and no one has had the same misfortune as I had recently.

Hey, as a training acoustic engineer all I can say is get ear plugs ASAP. You are looking at noise levels of around 100db (SPL for the technically minded) which after even small amounts of exposure to will damage you hearing. You can expect to get high tone deafness that means in extreme cases you will find is hard to understand different accents especially over phones. At the very least you will get tinnitus.
Please please look after your hearing it will worsen with age normally don't make matters worse.

Hi,
ive bin wantin usd forks for my r6 for a long time and ive seen some of my year that have the older r1 forks on but you also then need the r1 wheel and yokes, i havnt a clue but was wondering if its possible to fit some 2005 usd r6 forks to a 2000 with only the fork legs and brake calipers? is the axel and yokes the same size as the 2000?
unfortunately the yokes are a completely different design mate as the forks go through the yokes on the modern R6's.

On this engine there are two types of 33 bhp restrictor and I only know of one solution unfortunately. There are two different things making the restriction on is a casing attached to the throttle body that stops it being opened fully. The other are plates underneath the carbs which prevent the full amount of air fuel mix getting to the cylinder. As I have a R6 I de-resrticted the method my be slightly different but if you need a hand ask.

Cheers guys sorry for the late reply have been working a lot unfortunately. I am mended now just waiting for the insurance company to get their thumb out of their arses and pay up as the beast has been officially written off now.

Does anyone know if the 2CT are harder in the middle to stop the squaring or not?
As far as I know the 2CT's are an even softer compound made predominantly for bikes that are used a lot for track day use. This doesn't mean they are useless on the road though.
One thing about normal Pilot Powers in the rain they can take a fair amount of time to warm up, still a great tyre.
-
If you put on a performance airfilter you will have to re jet the carbs as the engine will be running too lean due to the extra gas flow the exaust and filter give it.
-
People should take notice of the time period because even if it isn't being used for the amount of miles it says in the book the engine will still need a look over and tune up.
-
Cheers Steve, i am looking forward to getting the rear and might have to aid its arrival by smoking more than a 20pack! lol
On serious note though what sort of mileage did you get out the michelins??
With mine I had around 4000 miles out of the back the front was only half worn though.
-
I had pilot powers on my r6 they are the sex. When you get the rear you'll notice the bike will turn in quicker yet be more stable in a corner because they have a different profile to other tyres. They don't last a great amount of time though, but id rather have grip over mileage.

Happy birthday mate.

All the vacuum hoses are likely to be on top or around the injectors and other parts of the engine, which means it's a tank and airbox off jobby. Shouldn't be too much of an issue as most bikes have similar ways of keeping them in place.

Welcome mate good choice of stead.

I don't know about all of the mods but i know you will have to get low compression pistons and a heap of other engine internals. This is a very extensive mod on a bike because of the high compression ratios they have which don't suit turbo's at all.
-
With those mods the bike will be running lean as there will be more air going into the engine than is needed. To sort this out you will need to buy a power commander PCIII and select a suitable map for it. These are basically plug and play so easy to install. As far as the cat goes the slip ons should fit straight on to it but I would personally go for a full system for better performance gains.

Depends because some of them come with the restrictor plate as well. If you can see what looks like an oval on the bottom of the air filter it is on still. Basically the filter should look the same shape and size both top and bottom.
Regards
-
It is true it is just a plate on the bottom of the air filter. If you take it out of the air box all you have to do is pop off the rivets and the plate will come apart. Apparently its a non reversible mod though.

I had michelin pilot powers which are the next step up from the sports in terms of grip. I got around 3000 miles out of the rear before I changed it the front was only half worn. Best tyres I've ever had though. The grip and turn in on them was sensational.

IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN ADVISE ON PAINT CODES FOR A BLUE 2003 YZF R6, LOST MY FOOTING AND DROPPED BIKE QUITE GENTLY BUT CANNOT FIND PAINT CODE ON BIKE OR MANUAL ETC. CANT WAIT TO GET IT SPRAYED TO GET BACK ON THE ROAD!!!
Whereabouts are you based? The paint code should be on the underside of the seat.

Hi Just got a 2000 R6 which runs rough at low revs I have too rev it hard to pull off or the engine stuters and stalls but runs OK at higher revs.
I thought thjis was the carb but after a service I was told the bike is producing too much compression.
And (Dont understand this bit) isnt clearing the oil way properly?? does anyone know what would cause the problem and how to cure the problem.
Thanks
Do you wash it wish steam cleaner cos it sounds like there is water in the coils which caused a similar problem for my bike.
Regards
-
If I can find the one for my 2000 R6 you can have it as the bike is now dead. Dont know if there are any differences.
