An Accident Waiting To Happen?! Yamaha R6 Race Bikes

REPerformance UK

29,244 views

Buying a used race bike is a great idea, but one of the downsides is that you don't know if it's been built to a high enough standard. My good mate, and TT legend, Dan Cooper, had a few questions about the wiring on two recently acquired Yamaha R6s, and after some investigation, we discovered some, potentially, very dangerous issues!

I quite like videos like this where the presenting to the camera is secondary. We still get details and updates on what they're trying to do, but it's more focused on the process than the presentation. Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy the shop updates and the technical building stuff, but it's nice every once in awhile to just see...work, if that makes sense.

This vid is bang in the centre of my Venn diagram. Almost didn’t have the motivation to jump on the turbo trainer tonight, but what’s better than 35 mins of bike/technical stuff to distract from the pain. Cheers lads 👊🏼

HEY KATE!!!! ASK RICKY THIS PLEASE AND THANY YOU!! Been watching for quite some time from across the pond in Canada. Would love to know why you picked Matt, Mitch and Carl as your technicians and maybe dive into their technical pasts that lead them to REP. Everyone seems so humble even the infamous grumpy Carl as proclaimed. Keep doing what you’re doing brother, from one tech to another you got this figured out far more then you give your self credit! Cheers Mate!

We always run the anodised alloy pro bolts in our subframes, that way in a crash they are soft so they tend to snap and not damage threads. Do the same on rear paddock stand bobbins so it doesn't rip the lugs off the swing arm. That loom is a mess! Worked with several superbike teams in bsb over the past 5-6 years and Angus doesn't make a very neat loom
