presentation of the YZF-R6 600 2001

exceptional: this little ball of nerves has turned the world of 600 super sports bikes upside down. With its compact size, racing bike looks, over 100 horsepower and 169 kilos, do you think you're reading a competition bike specification sheet? You'd be right, but this is one crazy bike, and you can find it at your local dealer. With an ultra-quick front end, insane braking, an engine that's dramatically hollow at the bottom and super-powerful at the top (watts surging furiously at 10,000 rpm), the R6 is dynamite. With no concessions: the duo, the freeway and the secondary roads with dubious surfaces will take you to purgatory. It's pure sport! Once set just right, the suspension proves comfortable but above all highly effective. Once up to speed, the mill pushes so hard that the front axle jiggles more than a little over the roughness of the road. It's all about knife-edge trajectories and sharp angles, and don't be afraid to put your knee out and wiggle to make the machine turn. The R6 is more than just a tool: it's a true pistarde that's a real pleasure to ride.

Juan carlos Model 2002

Hello, could someone tell me where I can buy a gear indicator for a 2002 Yamaha YZF R6? I’ve already bought one: it lights up, but the pairing process won’t start and I can’t configure the gears... Thanks in advance. Best regards 06/06/2026 10:12 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Juan carlos

R6 - coupure a partir de 4000 tours

lcsbauer8866 Model 2001

hello, I own a 2001
and only in second gear, from 4000 and above it cuts out, but continues to accelerate, then cuts out at 4500 and so on, complete overhaul, spark plug changed, air filter changed, ....... backup, 3 mecanos and still the problem

Outage ??? If the ignition is bad (check the coils or antiparasitic), you can diagnose it by "explosions" at the pot outlet when the spark leaves and returns all at once. Or a crushed hose somewhere (gasoline; air venting....)
Carburetor adjustment or a clogged nozzle...) If it can give you some leads...
