Help please guys
my 02 R6 yesterday struggled to start when hot , well today did the same and then refused to rev and started to splutter and miss managed to get her home , now she's outside and won't start at all

any ideas or recommend some one who can fix it as near to liskeard as possible would have to be collected as can't move her

thanks
gutted missing all this weather

is it turning over on the button ?

checked your plugs ? air intake ?

My old R6 failed to run when hot... piston rings were buggered meaning lack of compression. Might be worth doing a check

thanks for advice guys

but wouldn't have a clue where to start

so need a professional can anyone please suggest where to take it ..thanks

can't say i do know anyone in the cornwall area, speak to badger, he will probs know of someone.

Ahhhh, don't really know of anyone in Liskeard area, too far north for me to have had any dealings with mechanics. Monkey may have a better idea, or possibly Graham as he seems to know everyone in bikes south of the Tamar ;)

I'll nudge them both towards this thread for you ...

thanks guys

update found a pipe this morning on the left of bike don't know what it does but has a tee in it to fresh air and a small , simikiar to a fuel filter on the end blanked off anyway had petrol dripping out

bike is now running still missing a bit and running very rich

any ideas

cheers

it would help if you registered here - www.yamahaR1.co.uk

these guys are really helpfull, they do have an R6 section aswell as perming, blowdry and dying.


other than that, get hold of a haynes manual and a workshop manual that way you can see where cables and pipes are supposed to be and see how they match up.
check the spark plugs

when you switch the bike off, use the kill switch. turn ignition off, turn it back on, flick kill switch - do you hear a clicking ? the fuel pump. is this working ?
might be a rubber from the carb lose or something. sounds like you need to get under the tank and have a root around i'm afraid.

If you still want garages, I'v got JP Motorworks in Luxulyan ( suggested by Deej) and Liskeard Motorcycles, that was from Monkey who said he's got details and will post when he finds them

well got her back today had a 3 hr ride she 's sorted
new tyres, mot'd engine sorted
cost me a lot but worth it

out of interest what was the issue ?

carbs need balancing mate and also had valves checked
sweet as a nut now

my r6 came from cornwall,got some business cards in the service history book as from where the bikes visited so hope they are some use dude?
