D.I.Y. Air filter, Ignition coils, spark plugs on a 08 Yamaha R6

[@dallasdandy6276]

Would you believe it's a couple of years and still no one has a video with clear instructions as this. I don't know how much appreciation I can show on this video. Please do more tutorials because your video sir is the only one available with clear step by step instructions. Thank you very much.

[@charlestaylor1675]

Currently going through the same

[@jerremydman1509]

Cover your throttle bodies when you're doing this. . I heard it's a nightmare when you drop something in there. Better safe than sorry. Also, great video sir!

[@ivanchavezortiz7826]

This video is going to help me change the air filter and spark plugs on my r6. Thanks for taking the time and show us how to do it.

[@mccarthylifestyle2696]

Nice Video man!! very clear, detailed and very well explained. Camera angles was nice too! One of the best videos out there!

[@FlyingDucMan]

Was searching for a video like this for long. Looks absolutly easy as long as you have the right tools, time and patience. I will change my spark plugs as soon as I can using your guide. Thanks a lot man!

[@FlyingDucMan]

Edit: We did it yesterday. Worked perfect! Thanks again man. Took us about 2h because we never worked on a bike before but other then that your video helped a lot. Peace!

[@walman89]

I'm really glad I was a help for you! I know the video is older, but there are some people that need the help, so I did it my own way! Congrats on getting the job done ✅👍🏼

[@DevInvest]

Use thin strips of RED electrician tape on hoses/controls for anything on the RIGHT- R=RIGHT or whatever memory aid works for you

[@raymondho3417]

Super helpful video, thanks so much for taking the time to do this.

[@walman89]

+Raymond Ho youre welcome, not the best at being social 2 years ago! sorry for the sentences.

[@burkenator258]

I'm currently doing the spark plugs on my 09 R6 and found this video very helpful. Thank you! I was surprised to see how much they changed the R6 from when I had my 05.

[@Toastermage245]

thanks for the vid. Your voice reminds me of Huck from the television series "Scandal" On a more important note I was able to change my spark plugs at the 8K mark and save myself a few hundred bucks worth of labor.

[@ardilo69]

Thank you much! I did it step by step as directed. Thanks again!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@KingMagnus4]

This is one of the best tutorials I have ever watched. I learned so much from you, thanks!

[@DevInvest]

Nice vid brother.. Suggestion., Purchase a swivel and long extension for your ratchet.. You can then come at those plugs from above the air box with much more clearance 🙏🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@pohlcat01]

nice video, thanks. But... "just put a little torque on them" ?? if you get a plug too tight, it may never come out... Spark plug torque from the manual: 13 Nm (1.3 m·kg, 9.6 ft·lb) From NGK's website" Torque is critical in the plug’s ability to dissipate heat and perform properly. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended torque specification. An under-torqued spark plug can lead to excessive vibration and improper heat dissipation, causing spark plug and/or engine damage. An over-torqued spark plug may cause thread damage or breakage, or compromise internal seals within the spark plug, leading to improper heat dissipation or exhaust gas blow-by.

[@toddy9141]

Torque or just hand tighten, then 1/4turn of the ratchet....no anti seize on the threads either 😉

[@coolramone]

Never mind, coil spec is 5 to 6.8 k ohm. I just tested them by putting plugs in packs, lay on engine, and hit start button. Easier way to check/change plugs - Remove 3 radiator bolts, 2 rectifier bolts, and 1 (left) radiator hose clamp. Pull radiator down and forward. More access to plugs and faster. (Put pan under radiator to catch coolant.)

[@dbc9mx]

I know this maybe a stretch as this is a 7yr old comment, but I'm intrigued by your thpught process on the easy wat to do this as I'm not that mechanically minded and don't want to take the tank off to get to the coiks/plugs. But the radiator route I could mange if it is infact easier, don't suppose you have an image of said bolts and clamp. Thanks.

[@redbeard5894]

Awesome video! Good quality, explains everything and you didn’t skip over anything 💪🏻

[@maxpower6802]

Tnx, buddy. Its time to check my bike on a weekend.

[@brettbarker8444]

Video done right! Showed every step. Thank you.

[@armando2004]

Good video, vary straight forward and right to the point.

[@walman89]

Thank you sir!

[@ClassyLyfeStylellc]

Very easy and detailed ty!!!

[@brennenbrooks7040]

Your block offs are technically on backwards. The cut out on the plates on the underside should go over the two screw posts coming up. But I guess as long as they sit flush 🤷‍♂️

[@AltF4RawClips]

Great video man - thanks for taking the time to make it. Super clear!

[@faithmarionnebunagan8921]

verry imformative video,thanks for the video guide.

[@adrianguerrero3165]

Your video helped me out tremendously! Thanks a million

[@joshssauce]

Well made video! Thanks, my first sports bike :]

[@salvadorbotello9736]

Nice video, very well explained and helpful, thanks broth and grettings from México ✌️😎🏍️

[@bmwm333e92]

nice work. but you dont have to worry about plugging the 2 small hoses under the tank in wrong place as they both going on to the groud for waste fluid :)

[@JDsmudandmac]

Love the video thank you very much

[@geehernandez8446]

Nice walk through process

[@xinwenhe8665]

Hello Pedro thank you for sharing! This is a very informative video! I have a question: your air box looks different than the one in my bike. Is it the OEM one? Thanks!

[@johnjohnson1681]

Great video dude thank you for this.

[@trustnuffin2920]

Thanks for the video but could you tell me please the iridium spark plug number ?

[@thechance123]

Any tips on getting those two electrical connectors off? Mine are on really good.

[@coolramone]

~11:00 You said you would remove the 4 coil packs and test them. How do you test them?

[@doingitLAstyle]

You need something like an "INNOVA 3320 Auto-Ranging Digital Multimeter" (saw it in another video)

[@canislupis4476]

Very helpful - well done video! Thanks

[@rafaellara4122]

Can you do a video taking out the throttle body to clean it

[@rafaellara4122]

Best video o seen bro 😎👊

[@themuffinman8871]

Did you need to adjust the gap om the spark plug or does it come pre gap to specification?

[@OR6x]

nice to trainbro can i see you train 2018 r6 ? i dont know how to step

[@lexingtonking1]

Thanks for info Pedro this is gonna help me on my quest to replace plugs, and all that good stuff. Very helpful U da MaN. What do them block off plates do for us anyways?

[@fernandovzz175]

Thanks for the video very well explain thanks again brother 👌🏽

[@mb4lunch]

I have 2 good hands! I know how to use them.... I can continue the video! Lol! Love it.

[@Daot888]

This video I have a disaster happened I just broke my fuel pump housing from the fuel I just followed to remove the long screw to the tank and what happens is it loose my gas tank and it drop and broke my wiring and those housing from the fuel I shouldn’t not remove those long screws I’m just only check my air filter 😩

[@ragecage2011]

great job i new removing thst smog crap would give you more room have u noticed any difference with them blocked off also i plan to install the graves velocity stacks also while im in there

[@kevinbonilla3834]

Deserve a sub , nice video man

[@Jc-vu5gs]

[@victorcarmona1563]

Hello, this video is very helpfull for me, thank you my friend.

[@ClassyLyfeStylellc]

How do you remove the coil packs???

[@bat7784]

You didn’t show anything about the coils.?

[@danielanagho8607]

awesome video it was very helpful

[@MaKZaSeKoGaS8]

i used your video to change mine plugs..very helpfull..i hand tighted them to.. so did you had any problems with hand tightening? or you recommending to do it with torque wrench?

[@ragecage2011]

I found hand tight till u can't any ! more then 1\4 turn snug you don't want to over tighten the crush washer. also use a tiny bit of anti seize when installing plugs on aluminium head. cheers

[@mr_sowong9464]

@@ragecage2011 dont use anything on the thread

[@mb4lunch]

Vote for Pedro.

[@SammyOnAYammi]

could you tell me what vent hose goes to which side? i never marked them. it seems pretty simple. the one on the right goes on the right and the left goes on the left when you have the tank on. does this seem about right?? thanks man

[@johnjohnson1681]

Dude so I got to the coil pack unplugged them but how do you remove the little gel part!? I was afraid to just force them off or popping them off so I didn’t get to check my spark plugs for fear of damaging something.

[@demetrioocampo52]

Gel part is part of the coil pack . Is 1 whole piece that comes off

[@timothywhitesides3645]

how would you go about clearing a check engine light on your R6 mine's a 2012 I tried 62 like I was told and it didn't work where to find out

[@440hp5]

Can i replace my TPS without removing gas tank? I have 07 r6

[@orangindonesiatinggaldiame6420]

Great video. Question..my 06 r6 running rich. How to adjust it? And second question when l put in first gear it would stall. Do l need to adjust the throttle body?

[@walman89]

Danny Andrian I do not own the motorcycle anymore. So I do not recall on how to make the adjustments. I’d recommend taking it to a tune shop or local motorcycle shop to figure out the problem. Glad the video helped.

[@davidteran2380]

Amazing video

[@DislikeFRIDAY]

you helped me a lot thanks bro

[@ivanchavezortiz7826]

Hi Pedro! May i ask why did you removed the bracket and installed the plates? My r6 has a power commander and deleted the cat box as well. Can i do the same to mine since i am about to take the bracket out to get to the coils and spark plugs.

[@walman89]

I did it to help from a lot of back fire/ popping from the exhaust when letting off the throttle. Since I had a straight pipe exhaust system at the time. Hope this helps!

[@ivanchavezortiz7826]

Yes I understand. Thank you

[@Macedoniandad]

Great video

[@javl40]

Thx for the video. Did you have an empty tank? or how did you manage to remove it without getting all the gas coming out? I didn't see anywhere that he closed the gas pipe... Anyone noticed it?

[@walman89]

I removed it once I didn't have much gas in the tank. Once the hose Is disconnected that is attached to the fuel rail, you'll get a little spill, which I used a dirty rag to catch with.

[@naderdajani4739]

Good video thanks man.

[@Snurre86]

I believe you need a JIS (JIS B 1012) not a PH (Phillips) screw driver.

[@Zx14rrrrrrrrrrr]

Damn this makes me miss my gsxr. Way too much to get to the plugs

[@mannyjmoto1234]

Nice! Quick question. I have a 2013 R6 and went full exhaust system about 3-4 months ago. Do I need smog block off plates? Is it necessary?

[@walman89]

I would recommend it, but it's totally up to you. if you do install them, you will notice less pop from the exhaust. Good luck!!

[@rroadrider15]

So did you install urblck off plates and did you get a power commander

[@walman89]

rroadrider15 yes I installed both those items myself

[@giridhars1904]

09:46 whats the purpose of that piece? I am missing that in my 2007 model

[@walman89]

It is the air duct for your air intake system.

[@danielebeber82]

Hi! my R6 is 2006 release...video's actions are the same on my model...am i right? thanks

[@aaarsix]

Yes, I have a 2006 as well, it’s the same.

[@alpha6five528]

it's the same for 2015 r6

[@ledenisb2541]

nice tnx!!!!

[@Whiskey_Bar_OSRS]

Do you know if it's the same process for a 2015 R6?

[@walman89]

I'm not quite sure, that's a 7 year difference.

[@Mistickman47]

Allan Olin just remember 06 to 16 same bike nothing changes just looks so you should be fine with this video on how to change your spark plugs

[@rroadrider15]

FUCK man I have 2 screws striped to death and I don't know what to do any ideas?

[@kneedrag8264]

Do u still have the bike? Lets ride lol

[@sportriderr6569]

For a "track bike" it is one of most annoying bikes to have to do any sort of work on...

[@taylortucker8873]

Does your tank need to be empty?

[@walman89]

Taylor Tucker no you do not, it will leak some gas from the hose coming out of the gas tank if I remember right.

[@iceice5970]

what the point of the block off plates?

[@walman89]

The air induction system (AIS) burns unburned exhaust gases by injecting fresh air (secondary air) into the exhaust port, reducing the emission of hydrocarbons. Once these are capped off the air injection system can be safely removed. These Smog Block Off Plates are made from CNC'ed billet aluminum and feature the Graves Motorsports "G" logo. There are three reasons why you want to remove the air injection system from your bike. -From graves motorsports website.

[@jgaama]

Installing them will give you a more accurate air to fuel ratio which comes in handy when you get a PCV. They will also eliminate the back pop you can get from your exhaust.

[@jgaama]

Didn't answer his question....

[@Panchdara]

Commonly called "pair valve" (based on Honda motors). What it does is inject fresh air into the exhaust after the exhaust valves. The exhaust is hot enough to "reburn" the unburnt fuel. Essentially it's an emission requirement. Removing the pair valve will do absolutely nothing to performance, rather, it will reduce that nice crackling when backing off. I took mine off but quickly put them back as I noticed the crackling missing on backoff. Not sure what affect happens if removed using cat converter. The effect of removing (blanking) them is to have a more "muffled/softer" rolloff of the throttle.
