Bought myself a Yamaha R6 in June 2014. Streets/Highways were just not apt for this mean thing and started doing trackdays. The love for riding intensified and it was 2017 when I decided to convert this into a racetrack only bike.
The conversion
Aftermarket stuff and removed mods:
| Part | Slurp |
|---|---|
| Clean tail | |
| Driven racing grips | Stocks were supposed to be thrown I guess |
| Because LED and clean | |
| SC-project CRT exhaust | Expel exhaust gases faster |
| Pirelli Diablo Supercorsas | For handling them low corners |
| CRG brake and clutch levers | CNC clicker levers |
| Zero Gravity Corsa race windscreen | Aerodynamics |
| GB racing casing for engine | Gotta protect it |
| Bauce racing ECU remap | Removed factory restrictions to set it up for racetrack |
| Power commander V | Controller for fuel injectors, smoother power delivery |
| DID racing 520 chain | Lighter, less friction, spins faster |
| Driven racing front -1 sprocket | More power at lower rpms |
| Driven racing rear +1 sprocket | For the pull coming off corners |
| Armourbodies race fairings | Easy to take on and off fibreglass body |
| Catalytic converter delete | No more emission sensors, unrestricted exhaust flow |
| K&N air filter | Breathe healthy |
| Moto D racing clip ons | Adjustable handlebars for wider arm position |
| GPR V4 steering dampner | Stabilized steering, less tank slapping |
| Motion Pro throttle asembly | Much more aggressive throttle response |
| Ohlins fork springs | Stiffer forks dialed in for my weight |
| Eibach racing rear shock | Lighter rear spring for instant feedback |
| Tech3 Yamaha livery | Why not? |
| EBC GP racing brake pads | High friction stoppers |
| MotoD GPS data logger | Lap by lap bike and rider timing data |
| Galfer steel brake lines | Increased brake fluid pressure |
