adjusting idle on 2006 r6
ive seen a few people ask for it, so here it is
1)remove bolts and lift up tank
2)It will make your life a lot easier if you disconnect the vacuum hoses but it can be done without removing them
3)Below the airbox in the center of the throttle bodies is the adjuster (it looks very similar to the chain adjusters on either side of the rear wheel, only a lot smaller) you will need a very small hex wrench and a socket wrench
a) First turn the small gold nut, with the socket wrench, to the left a few turns to loosen it. This will allow you to turn the bolt to adjust the idle
b) Next turn the bolt to the right with the hex wrench to adjust the idle (this should be done with the bike running) Adjust in small increments
c) After you have reached your desired idle speed lock the adjuster in place by tightining the the nut (turn to the right) . You should do this with the bike running as well because as you are tightining the nut the last couple of turns could turn the adjuster as well, raising your idle speed higher than you want it.

Re: adjusting idle on 2006 r6
Hey not sure if it works on the R6, but just did a mod on my 600rr last night where you take an idle adjustment cable and thread it in to the place where there the throttle body stop is. It basically allows you to crank up the idle to whatever level you want. The 600rr you could only go to like 2200 with the idle adjuster. With the mod I did, you can take a cable from a 900rr and thread it in where the bolt for the throttle body stop is, and you have something that can adjust the idle to whatever level you want.
