i searched for it but its a pain in the *** because R6 is too short of a word to search... after like 20 pages i decided to start this thread again

i know r6's have weak fairing stays, weak frames, and tend be twitchy but how come i dont see more people stunting them anyway... i find r6's goin for real cheap all the time, they feal really light and small, have good amount of power...

lookin for advice on areas to watch for and fix before stunting i guess

 

I have an 02 R6 and have no complaints except that it is carburated.... other then that, my bike has been through the ringer and still don't have a crack in the frame and the motor is runnin' strong with around 15000 miles on it and i started stuntin' it with about 6500 miles on it.... I don't know why so many don't like em....Fuel injection would be nice though.

 

friend had an 01 r6, did alot of fast scrapes, had bout 5 cracks in the frame, only stunted it liek 5-6 months, get on the f4i bandwagon, theres a reason people call em cheater bikes

 

hahaha Jasons gonna be all up in this thread

 

Watch the left side motor mount. It will bend outwards and crack (blue arrows/lines). We solved this by using large washers, an idea a little too late as you can see its already started. The R6 frame is light duty, so just check it regularly. I think Chris has been through 4 R6's total. All have frame issues, all ended up with blown motors.

 

i have a 01 R6 and the only complaint i have is the carbs but thats it....ive beat on mine pretty good and the motor has 25,000 on it and still going.

 

catach i assume...i talked to him a lil bit about r6's



my bike is gonna be geared -2 +8 and powers cage... im gonna try and learn to weld aluminum this summer too haha

 

its funny cause i was just gonna post up and say my 02 r6 has had no frame prob and is taking a beating. then i checked what mikie said about the left side and sure enough theres a crack . on top of that on the ride back from the store i go to put the kickstand down and my jeans get stuck on something, it was the lower motor mount bolt sticking about 6 inches out. thank god i got the 954 sitting in the garage waiting for action. slitz i got that same gearing . works awesome on r6

 

Read much? There are plenty of people stunting R6s, the end.

 

I can't go anywhere in Indy with out seeing or talking to someone who either owns and stunts a R6 or they know someone that does.

 

wondo dsf rox a 05 r6 with a slip on, O's coasters stoppies all like a stuntbike (stock gears) and our boy chase just picked up an 02 r6, all stock and we cleaned/adj/ floats, O's like a champ!

 

Forgot to mention that I dropped off an R6 oil pan and pickup to Ryan Smith from Stuntex.com/ After the 929, the R6 will be in the line-up of Oil Pickup/Oil Sump mods.

 

I started on an R6, but everytime I did a stoppie it would flood and die (damn carbs) I sold it and got a GSXR750, best decision I've made in a while. I just think the gixxers are built a little stronger. However I know several people stunting R6's. I think they are fine, especially when you get better and are not slamming the bike down everyday. If someone just starting out asked me, I'd say sell the pretty R6 and get a bike that will take the abuse it's about to recieve, If they are already proficient, they wouldn't need my advice.

 

thanks i read a lot



only reason i was askin is because its a fu(kin fact that its one of the least popular bikes in the stunt world... i know tons of people with r6's, but most just ride around pretty or hit the twisties

just hopin to get advice on areas of the bike to reinforce and things to watch for

 

i like that one guys R6 from XFR that all white with blingin *** wheeels his is cleaaaan and their segment in urban 3 was siiiiick

 

im rollin my 05 r6, but i dont have the flooding problems due to that wonderful thing called fuel injection, i have no complaints other than it was a biatch to put the cage on.

 

im back on my r6 today since some ***** rear ended me 2 days ago and totaled my gix 750(woo hoo insurance!) . the r6 just has a twitchy throttle and weak bottom end,, you have to rev it way out to get any power and by that time your the craziest **** on the road other than that its a good bike i went through one motor,, definatly not the most comfotable either !!!!! still waiting to crank up da idle, maybe a super sprocket. then ill pick up a cheater, cant wait!

 

Thanks for the thumbs up...right back at ya' You ask a stupid question and I simply say what I say, no negligence and you wanna' give me the finger? I thought you were an idiot b4, now I simply know you are. Have a nice day... :YEAH Hey, does anybody out there stunt 900RRs??????

 

............

 

i dont see how its a stupid question... no one around here stunts r6's, they're one of the LEAST common bikes used to stunt. Therefore i was askin what i should watch for and maybe get some tips on things change on the bike...

thanks for fu(kin up the thread though di(k
