2017 LRRS goals

What's going on?

Long list of issues culminating in a need to drop the motor and rip the top end off to make any further progress. I'm not physically capable of this, and I don't want to spend money on it.

Go buy a damn honda and stop dicking around with nonsense.

Just as soon as you open your wallet to pay for it all.

If you were to want a hand doing the physical part of this I am sure that myself and any number of others on this forum or other forums you are a member of would be more than willing to assist. Say the word.

Stop spending money on basket case projects and you could probably buy a brand new bike.
But yes, I know you love the basket cases.

Motor from the WReck fit in there?

I would gladly help

^^ I have one I'm looking to offload.

I literally threw an R6 motor in a dumpster 3 months ago.

[Viper897]

Dropping a motor is actually pretty easy. Regardless of the bike.

It seems intimidating at first if you've never taken the time to do it.

Just remember to disconnect every wire, hose, etc before you drop the motor. Ask me how I know.

[Kurlon]

The technical aspects don't bother me, where I'm coming up short is in the actual lifting of the hot tub.

I have a personal thing where if I can't do it myself, I draw the line there and try to arrange my projects around that limit. I've been burned by two many shops/etc over the years, I don't always have a handy second set of lifting legs on standby, etc so the path to least disappointment is to be able to do it all myself. So the R6 crossing that threshold has kinda been a gut punch. It's not that big an issue, there are multiple paths around it, but again, crossing that line the way it did hurt physically. I'm a middle aged 12 year old who just got told that not only is Santa not real, but the house will no longer be celebrating Christmas or any other event that involves presents. It's tantrum time damn it.

Ohh Yeah Viper I've been there before dropped the motor out of my 500 last year forgot like two wires well at least until they snapped off hahaha they can really be hidden that's for sure!

I did a frame swap on a cbr600rr by myself, without lifting the motor. I made a crude wooden cradle to support the motor on my bike lift while everything else came off. The frame was pretty light, totally stripped. The whole project was completed over a weekend working probably 3 hours each on saturday and sunday. Worked perfect afterwards, except i discovered at njmp that i had forgotten to connect one plug (rectifier, maybe?) so the battery wasnt charging. After connecting that, all was good

Edit: So my point is, you could maybe use a similar technique (if possible on an r6) to get at the motor without lifting the motor, and you wouldn't have to strip as much off the frame as I did...like the entire front end and rear suspension, for example

Buy one of those scissor lift platform jacks. basically a small 6x14 inch square platform that goes up and down traveling at least 12 inches in height. Just trying to offer options.

Mine wasn't anything on the harness persay, it was my 80 dollar aftermarket water temp sensor wire that got caught on something, not a good day at all.

Having raced Doug and chatted with him about it, I wouldn't call him a feel rider. He was just employing an entirely different set of technical skills to our playing field. It's more a perfect example of why you can never say that one technique is the best. Many riding schools (think CSS, YCRS) fall into the trap of thinking they have it all figured out and everyone else is wrong. YCRS is especially brazen in their claims.

YCRS is behind most every guy standing on the MotoAmerica podiums.

Are you going to race the new toy this year or is she a trackday mule?

[Paul_E_D]

I have a few racing plans this year, but none involve the R6... yet.

You should run it for sure.

R6's suck on the track for racing applications.

I'd stay away.

Three goals this season...
*Get comfortable on the SV650, having finally abandoned hope for being competitive on a middleweight.
*Consistency.
*Amateur bump by the Classic

You're looking good out there! I couldn't catch back up with you when you shut the door on me after dicing it up for a few laps.

Ouch! Good luck with the healing, hope to see you up there next week, not sure about the riding though.

You too ducman, you don't have to be racing to hang out.
