2023 Yamaha R6 Race: Dirty Break-In

[@christopherrankin4744]

Rock on my brother and live your dream!

[@tebuchenself2882]

Thanks man! Life is too short.

[@killer2miller23]

Is it possible to register for the street so long as you install all street gear? As would be nice to be able to purchase new

[@tebuchenself2882]

Yes. Have to get all the safety things a jump through hoops at the DMV.

[@user-gc6fs7mp9j]

Hello, will R6 videos continue to be updated?

[@tebuchenself2882]

Yes, I am planning to do a video about all my track mods

[@nicolasortega7525]

Is it possible to install the front lights? I mean it comes with the instalation?

[@tebuchenself2882]

Yes its possible. It has the wire harness but nothing else. You would need the whole front light assembly. Brackets and housing plus lights

[@2siguk]

I think it's fun to buy this race and improve it for public use, but if you don't have enough budget, you can find the last public use, the 2022 model, and improve the exhaust, even if you're struggling a little. And I think this is fun to improve

[@tebuchenself2882]

Yes, I have plans to put on some upgrades. Hopefully, I will make a video of those upgrades soon.

[@2siguk]

​@@tebuchenself2882yeah I hope your new video

[@2siguk]

​@@tebuchenself2882bro whare is next video

[@tebuchenself2882]

@@2siguk: I Apologize for the delay. Looks like my January will give me time to update my bike and video. Hold on, it is coming!

[@Caleb-fv5fp]

Can you add headlights?

[@MrFreddof16]

Dude can’t find a legit answer but I just got a R6 Race the other day, and I want to know if I can modify it with 2020 parts. You mentioned in the video and wanted to confirm since my bike hasnt arrived yet.

[@tebuchenself2882]

Yep, there has been no changes at all since 2020. Exact same bike.

[@juliannaranjo9397]

Just like the front turn signals. Does it comes with the connection for the back turn signals, daylights, headlights and horn?

[@tebuchenself2882]

Yep, all the wires and connections are there. I bought a set of mirrors to look more street legal to break in some miles and it was plugged and play

[@tebuchenself2882]

So yeah it’s plumbed

[@Mohammad-le4fz]

Which year model is it and for what price did you get it? And please tell me which year model of the r6 is the best because I've to buy one and a lot confused...

[@tebuchenself2882]

Hello! This is the 2023 that is under $13K. But this version is not street legal. Retail price for a 2019 is about $15K. If you are buying an R6 for street use I'd say anyone you can get your hands on for a good price.

[@ragavramesh1987]

Hello! Can u pls tell me how u installed the plates? I just got the same bike for my track use. And I want to do the same as you before taking into the track. Appreciate if u can share the link of the parts u used.

[@tebuchenself2882]

I just used a metal shelving bracket I had lying around in my garage and a plate holder from one of my other bikes.

[@tbird-ur1ln]

where did you get the headlights from

[@tebuchenself2882]

It does not have headlights. If I were to put some in I would check ebay if I was on a budget or order a brand new set from the dealer if I had extra cash.

[@rd-9543]

Hey, were you able to get a title for this bike? Thinking about getting one to convert to street legal, but was curious about the process.

[@tebuchenself2882]

I have not converted this bike for street use. I know others that have converted straight up dirt bikes to make it street legal and it seems pretty easy. The process would be to add lights, horn, license plate bracket with light, signals, and at least one mirror to pass inspection. Then it’s off to the dmv and go through hoops which, means 💵

[@XyleFer-mm7nx]

Are you planning to put exhaust on it? If so, would you make a video with it?

[@tebuchenself2882]

Yes, the full Akrapovic I show at the end. I will make a vid about the process and the changes, Thanks!!!

[@shahzaibrehman5587]

After every safety equipment can this bike be registered as a street legal bike?

[@tebuchenself2882]

Yes. At least in Texas you could. Of course, added fees to satisfy the local DMV

[@bng2679]

Dyno break-in or break in on track. Like any other track bike.

[@tebuchenself2882]

Yep…I’m a believer, now😅. I missed a $1200 track weekend cuz my bike was not ready or, “broken in”. I haven’t been riding much cuz I have been working so many hours. I have over 200 miles on the R6. From now on this bike will be run hard (progressively) in the coming weeks. Do an oil change, install all my upgrades, then………RAGE😐This bike is tooo good, sooo good. It’s deserves better than me!

[@miguel90744]

I want a sound test

[@tebuchenself2882]

I will definitely make a vid when I get the akra put on. I’m still working on good break in miles.

[@mrmagillacutty1]

Dam you yamaha...coming out with this after i bought mine Ass U ming dynasty believe it was the last

[@tebuchenself2882]

😂!!!

[@ImGringo_Mg]

bro how many km/h this bike is capable of picking up

[@tebuchenself2882]

I imagine on a good stretch of road 270+km/h. For me and this bike though, I have kept it under 160km/h. It will be unleashed...soon!!!

[@ImGringo_Mg]

@@tebuchenself2882 I have a ninja 400 and I'm thinking of changing it for this one, I found a nice bike

[@Haruo-rs5qw]

Do they sell street legal kit?

[@tebuchenself2882]

Not sure. You just have to source out all the parts

[@jayc3274]

Still planning on making it street legal?

[@tebuchenself2882]

Hey Jay C! Currently, I am trying to get it ready for a track day out at COTA Thanksgiving weekend. Got the Vortex 2.0 rear sets, Ohlins steering damper, and CRG RC2 levers installed. It looks awesome with these simple mods! Still have to install the frame, fork, and swing arm sliders. And especially, the full Akra and Rapidbike install. Not sure if I am going to make it because I have been working sooo much! I have really grown to love this R6 during break in cuz IT IS such a great motorcycle to ride! Who knows what the future holds but when I think about the future of this bike, I have to consider street legal for possible resale. Sorry so slow but I am just an average dude who has to work. I really appreciate the follow up.

[@XyleFer-mm7nx]

Do you have instagram?

[@tebuchenself2882]

No, this is my only social media platform. I’m a bit old school.

[@XyleFer-mm7nx]

I see. Would you share to us if you get a headlights and where you buy it. Appreciate it!

[@tebuchenself2882]

@@XyleFer-mm7nx Yes, will do.
