2002 Yamaha YZF-R1, coolant leaking from weep hole after seals were changed.

Question edited for clarity and typo 'weephile'. Question moved from Misc to model category. Screeching is dry metal on metal abrasion. Take it all apart and get some water pump grease on the shaft or replace it completely.

Got a yamaha r1 2006 cant find the male plug for the ignition wiring. Please help!

Was it connected before? Many manufacturers add plugs which aren't used on a particular model but are used on others. If it was in use, It would be in reach of the part you are holding. They are often taped into the harness tightly. https://kojaycat.co.uk/epages/950000457.mobile/en_GB/;ClassicView=1?ObjectPath=/Shops/950000457/Products/R1-4C8-MAINLOOM https://www.google.com/search?q=yamaha+r1+2006+ignition+wiring ..

Which shift forks do I need for second and sixth gear?

If you are replacing 2 shift forks, I would replace ALL of them.. if they show signs of wear, replace all of them! You also need to find out WHY they are worn out! Bent shift shaft? Do you ride with pressure on the shifter after you have shifted (to make sure it stays in gear)...If the bike has been dropped on the left side, you might have bent them. A PROFESSIONAL needs to inspect you transmission!!

1998 Yamaha YZF-R1 engine oil type

Depending on the climate that you live in. Cold temps SAE10W30SE to hotter climates SAE10W40SE. Hotter climates still and if you can find it 20W40 and 20W50 Off hand, don't know the size of the crush washer. I assume this is for the oil pan drain plug. They are of a very common size and freely available at just about any motorcycle parts store. They are an aluminium washer, not a copper crush one. I've actually never replaced one ever and have never had a leak. If they are a little deformed you can sand them lightly to even them out.

2003 Yamaha R1 timing chain replacement. Having trouble getting the timing set back correctly. And info or video's would be most helpful.

Bring the #1 piston (not sure if its the far right or far left piston) to top dean center on the compression stroke. There should be timing marks on the stator/generator flywheel (two of them) one is the TDC mark and the other is the timing mark. You use the TDC one! Then time BOTH cams (there should be a mark) ..make sure the piston is still at TDC and both cams have the BOTH cams lobes are108* away from the lifters.
