your bike should look good once its all done _b


Yeah cheers, sorry removed that post, heres a repost.



Gonna be getting the seat reupholstered in fire engine red, and paint the rims and lower pipes (Which will be semi-visible through the belly pan [ lower piece of plastic - not in that photo which gopes under the bike]), red as well.
Gonna repaint the whole thing in black gloss, and might add some red pinstripe too, in the style of the RG250 walter wolf, it should look something similar to this:


The engine needs a bit more work on it first, been having problems with overheating at low-speeds so im going to take the cooling system apart and check/fix that, and clean+ tune the carbs then ill paint it up and make it look pretty :D

Lookign good.
Do a radiator flush...it prob never had fluids changed for a decade.

I just put a new K&N filter + new Staintune exhaust on my R6 - sounds grunty as now. Need to look into getting a power commander to re-map it though.

Will post up some piccys when i get a chance :)

Its got all new coolant in it, but i might take it to a radiator shop as well and get them to check if any of the pipes are clogged.
Frustratingly I just put all the cooling system back together, I had to take off the radiator to fix a broken engine mount, and now Im going to have to do it all again :'(

Those YZF-R6's are real grunty for a 600cc aren't they?
I really like it's bigger brother (The R1) the only thing I dont like about the YZF line is where Yamaha decided to put the master cylcinder for the front discs, right in front of your instrument panels >.<
Definitely post up some pics when you get time man :D

Yea thats what I am saying...since it never got changed it prob full of crap...so buy a flush kit from an auto store it usually cleans them right out.

Hmm is it the newer ones with the master cylinder behind the panel? Mines right on the bars where it should be.
And yea - R1 on the cards next ;) (I want one of those ones with the new Big Bang engine)

Ill have a look at flushing it but I'll probably check the water pump as well just to be sure.
The previous (D**khead) owner was cruising around with the drain screw on the pump out, and seemed incapable of reading a temperature guage so naturally he ran out of coolant and cooked the engine, I dont think the impellers on water pumps like being run dry so I wouldnt be surprised if that was f**ked.

At least I can paint the gas tank while Ive got the whole thing in pieces :P

Found a possible culprit for the overheating, took apart the water pump today (Annoyingly i had to partially take apart the transmission to get at it  _p_ and found that one of the blades on the impeller (Little fan which pushes the water around) was completely fucked, and all chewed up, going to have to order a new one in, then I'll put it back together and clean the carbs and once its running again flush the radiator out (bought a flush kit today), hopefully after all that It'll be running like a cut cat, and then i can get onto the cosmetic side of things ;)

I got 3 cars atm, 1 I don't speak of, it's an abomination to god ('94 Hyundai Sonata)

1st is my HZ Premier, my baby. Gotta love V8's :3

Then my TA23 Celica which I am currently rebuilding, as you can see, it needs a lot of body work on it. Already ripped it's engine out, gonna throw in a SR20det in it.
