Im sure a number of you are well aware I purchased a new R6. We are going to transform it into a track bike and I thought I would be interesting to everyone to see the process I got through to get it ready. The current plan is to break the bike down to engine and frame and then build it from there. The goal is to have it finished by mid to late April. Ill be using the bike for trackdays but Im pretty sure PK wants to race it once or twice so we will fully prep it. Ill keep this thread updated with photos and maybe some video as I have them. This is inspired by the Ducati build. Not many of us have millions to toss into a bike. This will be the average mans build.
The start...
2007 Yamaha R6
Just out of the show room and completely stock.
Next I made of list of parts Ill need.
Shock (penske or ohlins depending on budget)
Fork Revalve
Woodcraft Case Covers

Exhaust
Rapid Bike fuel module by Dimsport
Bodywork

Frame Sliders
Steering Damper
520 Sprockets front and rear

This weekend Im going to try and get the initial measurement on the bike with the computrack machine before anything gets done to it.
Thats it for now Ill update when the next step is complete.
