Re: 2008 Yamaha R6 Race bike

If you still don't trust manuals, images off the internet, and ebay then here's the end of the crankshaft on a 2008 Yamaha R6. It just further corroborates Fred's ebay link (which might come in handy next year) IMG_20130813_165056[1].jpg Perhaps you chaps could shed some light on the camshaft (cylin...

Re: 2008 Yamaha R6 Race bike

Hey Dave, I was speaking of bike engines in general, not so much the wiring. Most have staged injection and electronic secondary throttle bodies, electronic throttle bodies in the exhaust etc. IIRC the R1 went to an odd-fire in 08, unsure if the R6 went the same way. I think all they did with the c...

Re: 2008 Yamaha R6 Race bike

Hey Sean, as of late I've learned how uncomplicated the thing is to be honest, though I think it's more a case of stockholm syndrome... Bit of an update from me: Got the race bike back together and managed to sneak in a friday afternoon session at Ruapuna, bike ran beaut, I was worried I'd be chasin...

Re: 2008 Yamaha R6 Race bike

First thing I guess I have to do is start listing the number of sensors and controls on the bike and build an understanding of how they communicate with the ecu. 1. AC magneto 2.

Re: 2008 Yamaha R6 Race bike

Hi Everyone, Just letting you know I have not forgotten about this project :) I binned the yar6 in november at the start of our season, the resulting christmas spending holidays etc stripped my repair money so I've just had to chip away.

Re: 2008 Yamaha R6 Race bike

Ah wow! I saw the diyefi project was being used in NZ, so I thought I might find a few kiwi's here, I didn't expect the leader to be a kiwi, but patriotically, I'm not suprised :) I've just finished a term in C programming and we're currently learning to program an AVR atmega32U2 in C, in fact I'm h...

Hi Everyone, I guess this is a bit of an introduction thread too? sure why not! I'm a 25 year old Kiwi studying Computer Engineering at Canterbury University and this is me on my race bike: http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/540571_3765478950000_1652689375_n.jpg It's a 2008 Yamaha R6, pre...
