No sorry i dont know anything about R6 clutch lever, but hey! its only a lever so it wont be hard to replace, you just need to source a new or better still a pattern one, hopefully other R6 owners will respond, but being Xmas it may be a bit quiet for a while

Aaghh, so sorry to hear this news, hope you make a full and speedy recovery and glad to see it hasnt dented your spirits too much, looks like youre going to be out of action for a while. Hope you can still enjoy your Xmas holiday.

Hi, bad luck that but you may be able to get a pattern one to replace it, try wemoto, or m&p

I have a DT175mx but haven't got a clue of its age!
Airhead replied to NEEOOW's topic in Yamaha Workshop
The bike was produced fro 1978 until 1983, i'm fairly sure that the round swing arm was only on the firt year of production, thats why i said ask for a 1981 bearing set, by the way, have a look at motolink, or wemoto or redrose retrobikes they sometimes have spares at a good price -

Hi, if youre going to use frame #063038 then you will need to use the square section swing arm, also this version had a different air box and oil tank set up, the oil tank will be on the right of the bike for a square sct swing arm version. You should find that swing arm bushes are still available, say its for a 1981 bike with square sect arm. -

Hi donny, if its a magneto ignition it will spark if you disconnect the ignition switch, it will also have just one wire to the coil i think.

Hi, lots of people have done it Here

Well i was gonna say if you were just replacing bearings you will find the bearing numbers on the old ones, maybe if you have the old wheel you can remove the bearings from that and either use them if they are smooth, or get the numbers off them and get yourself some new ones from a bearings supplier, this would be cheaper than buying them from a dealer i expect. I must add that there is usually a spacer piece between the bearings and you will need to fit that also, if you dont you will damage the hub or bearings and compromise the handling of your bike!

so your new wheel, is a brand spanking new wheel with no bearings in?
-
so you dont do lateral thinking then, we moved on from his first post when he made a second one! or should we just accept his first post as a statement of fact? after all my back wheel doesnt move much either when the bike's on its side stand

Welcome to the forum Q What do you find in a gallery A Pictures Correctamundo, so wheres the pictures since this is the gallery section?

Youve got to do some lateral thinking! If you cant push the bike coz the front brake is on then the back wheel wont turn, so...you 'think' the back brake is jammed on. :banghead:
