2002 Yamaha YZF-R6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

First, determine what devices the fuse is protecting. There should be something inside the cap of the fuse block to tell you. 30 amp probably goes to the headlights. Check for wiring that rubs against metal and may have rubbed off the insulation. Does the fuse blow when you turn the ignition on or does it blow later?

could be slipping in the gear box is it all the time or only when you really get in it and does it happen only in certain gears

80 lbs should safice

as long as all gears and shaft are correct, i would replace the starter motor, sounds like thesolenoid is no good.

Ignition switch is bad - replace it.

You can get a online diagram from the parts section of yamaha's website.

Use the choke - it is designed to add more fuel for when it is colder out.

Because something on the bike is shorting out and pulling too much power.

Welcome to the world of bent shift forks and damage caused by dropping your bike. I hope your bro is gonna buy you another motor. It's cheaper than getting yours repaired.

Recommended cooler level in expansion tank is in the middle between MIN and MAX while the bike is at top working temperature and it's radiator fan already engaged a couple of times. Use coolant that can withstand +112 C or moreIf after that still spills coolant from expansion tank's overflow hose you should check compression on each cylinder for head gasket damage.

Hello
Have the battery load tested, a fully charged battery is about 14.2 volts, and then have the Alternator output tested, it sound like the battery is not being charged, it should have about 14.0 volts at 1500RPM, if not then the Alternator is defective. If nothing shows you will need the bikes electronic engine control system tested by the dealer for system fault codes.

There are many available on ebay. Try to find a seller who will ship internationally. If you have any Yamaha dealerships where you are they could order you the part.

Hi,,the stale fuel has gummed up your carbs and blocked the jets,,,the carbs need to be removed and cleaned.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Your charging system is working as it should.

hi, quite often i find people come to me with this problem, and the most obvious reason is that they clamp the pipe to high up, if your exhaust came with a supplied clamp, and the silencer has been manufactured with slots cut out where it fits onto original headers, place the clamp on the silencer but dont completely cover the slots, covering them will not alow you to tighten the silencer, remember you cant tighten up on a solid peice of pipe, you will have to leave about 3 or 4mm of the slot visible on the uper side of the clamp, the slot will soon seal up after rideing for a couple of weeks. hope this helps

That is a safety deature. It would not be a good idea to ride off with the side stand down!
There is a micro switch connected to the side stand and clutch lever for your protection.

The bike has a bent shift fork or two. This is a major repair on the bike. The engine comes out of the frame, gets flipped upside down then the bottom casing comes off. This allows access to the gears and shift drum / shift forks. I do not recommend this repair for a novice mechanic. Call a Yamaha dealer to confirm my diagnosis and to get an idea of the repair cost. The cost will probably be $1000 to $1500. Bummer. Please rate my answer.
