5 Things I Hate About My 2017 Yamaha r6:
1) That cold start issue kinda sucks
2) Doesn't have a cool wrap scheme like yours
3) Does not have an ecu flash
4) Agreed on the size of the bike because I'm tallish
5) Oh wait, I don't actually have one😭
5 things I hate about my 2017 R6:
1) yeah the cold start thing makes me feel kinda bad
2) Doesn't have exhaust
3) Doesn't have a flash
4) I'm not on it right now
5) I hate that I said I hated anything about it
is an r6 good for average size people? im only 175 cm or 5'9"
Christian Dinero I’m 5’9 started on a r6 no complaining my feet touch the ground flat foot
Christian Dinero More like under the average
I feel that power band thing. I just bought a 2005 R6 and just hit 10000 for the first time today, shit my pants a little.
Lol 😂😂
Is it faster than Gixxer 600?
@@akyraider1972yes
question from when you were putting in gas....
is it just us men who shake the nozzle after done puttin in gas or do women do that too? lol
Lol 😂
Harry Singh we know the tactics lmao
I don't do it when im in my car just when im on my bike so gas doesn't drip all over it lol
lol i do that ig i’m a man now 😂
I actually like the peaky powerband. It makes it more interesting having to downshift a couple times to speed up when you've just been cruising. Also, I like how it can feel like you're riding two different bikes depending on what rpm you're riding in.
same, kinda like big turbo cars.
as a two stroke guy myself i agree
#6 people asking it out on a date. #7 wife won't allow it in bed. #8 can't legally adopt it. #9 having to peel admirers off of it. #10 police staring just a bit too hard. 😂
Wait. He wants it in bed and to adopt it...FBI OPEN UP!
its only 2 years old
@@jacobshepherd3997 nothing wrong with that I dont see the problem
-buys a 600
-complains it doesnt have low end torque
lol
Dylan Yelton Yep - that says it all........
so my friend took his Yamaha r6 sportbike and treated it like a supermoto check it out ruclips.net/video/pxZRMkCm9pE/видео.html
Haha
Just the r6, cbrs and gixxers have plenty, kawasaki has a shit ton in the middle and some in the end
Could've bought an mt07
I disagree
Bruh that's the best looking tail on the market.🙌🏽🌪🤙🏽
IMO I LOVE the new rear end. The scoops and the vertical tail light are just straight sexy to me. Reminds me of the Ducati’s a little. The front is sexy as well with the blinkers integrated and the lights tucked in. It’s a gorgeous bike. It is the main reason I want to buy a new R6
One thing I don’t like about *your* R6, is those blue wheels lol. It just takes away from the theme you’ve got going with the rest of the bike.
I had my bike tuned recently (2 weeks ago?) by Anthony at Bauce Racing, and he told me he does the raised idle rpm at 2k rpm to help with other things too. It also helps with getting moving from a dead stop, smoother down shifting, and better engine oil cooling at idle. Bauce Racing FTW! :D
Awesome! Gotta get mine sent back in.
Just wanted to say that I love your videos and you’ve helped me along in my beginnings as a rider and owner of an R6. I have the flat black 17 and cause of your videos I’ve too went the JLD triple function tail light and turn signals, smoke out of course. But because of this I have to disagree with you about the tails of our bikes. At least in the all black. They are beautiful and sleek looking while also looking very race like and functional. The tail of the bike is what really made me want to buy it, and the uniformity of the bike overall in black in what makes me love it. Great video, I loved it and appreciate your opinions and views and love watching your progression with the R6.
Hey Motonosity, my 2006 R6 also has the cold start issue. I just do the double key switch on-off now and it catches first turn when starting up.
A lot of people have theorized it is some sort of fuel priming issue. That’s why giving some throttle will also get it started.
Ive done 37 miles with the light on on my 2017 r6. You should do a halo driven fuel cap.
What I didn't like about the R6 was the reach to the bars. At 5' 7", it was long and meant I was looking up to look forward. This tired my neck after a while. I also didn't like the way the gas tank trapped my wrists in a parking lot tight turn. Coming from a naked bike this worried me.
I loved the sounds. Loved the power. Loved the brakes and suspension.
The cold start issue is Exup manifold. It's closed off the throttle so cracking the throttle a touch opens the butterfly and bang it starts.
Exup works like having two exhaust lengths on the bike the Exup opens for high rpm r and closes for low rpm.
If you push the clip ons forward and bring them up on the fork legs or put a 1inch riser on it makes the bike feel longer.
you should mention "No fuel gauge" in your hate list.. it's 2017/18 already, even R3 has fuel indicator.. sigh

I got the 2018 R6 and COULD NOT BELIEVE it didn't have a fuel gauge , i mean the light comes on at like .90 of a gallon and i just reset the trip everytime i fuel up and can go about 100-120 miles before the light comes on so i can keep track so its not to big an issue just very surprising it dont
going from 1000 back to 600...
how did that feel?
Dude, love what you did to your r6, that wrap looks sick!
I'm cosediring get one as well, defenitly gonna keep up with ur channel. Much Love from Portugal 👏💪
hey man your videos have really gotten me into motorcycles,keep up the good work man!!
Usually i down shift my 2017 for the power band 1 to 2 gears depending on my speed. It's always consistent which is important to me. I love cornering on this bike!
Dude I just love the looks of your R6. Even if thats like the 10000 comment you get mentioning this, I really had to say it.
I appreciate it every time 😁
I love your vids! I have a 2017 r6 as well. Where did you get the custom seats and rear flashers/indicators?
Man that is drop dead gorgeous. I'm looking for a Yamaha R6 around ten years old for 2 grand sterling (uk). What do you suggest i look out for, problem' wise ? I'm not mechanic wise.Thank you for your time, Ben.
I had the same thing with cold starts on my first bike, a ninja 300. It's caused from the lack of fule in the system/fule pump, the fuel backs out toword the tank just enough to lack in the first crank cycle. This is usaly due to the engine cooling and other factors.
Are there vast handling or low-speed handling differences between your old 2009 R6 Raven and the 2017 R6?
I think both the power delivery, and the cold start issue are just part of the new Euro 4 setup. They have to run these engines so lean now to pass.
Cold start is no big deal just need to give it a little throttle if need be. The back of the bike is beautiful I love the tail wings and the brake light. I find no issue with the seating position. However I do agree with the power band it’s just the way the engine is tuned. I love everything about the bike both performance and looks, think it’s the best looking bike on the street right now. Btw are you keeping the rims Blue it looks a little off with the white wrap.
Best looking R6 I've ever seen 👍
its pretty good, i like the matte black better :P
Seriously 😑
apart from the chicken stripes on the rear tire :P
@@rummsdala its.... its a test ride unit with barely miles on it
I have the 2018 R6 in matte grey and gawd damn it is sexy
I have a 2018 R1... 1 and 2 are still issues (I don't have risers yet either though). I just bump the gas a bit when starting and this may change when I tune it. I'm considering getting a bench tuner to mess with it myself. 3 Mid range power pretty decent on R1 even before a flash. How this will change once I delete the cats and baffles remains to be seen but I've read that the tune really helps the R1 in midrange. I disagree with you on the tail. I love it. I bought the R1 to commute so I'm going to experiment with clip ons and risers to get some more comfort. Also will get a larger bubble windshield because the risers will push my head up exponentially all the highway.
I noticed you put your stock windshield back nice paint job 👍🏻 I feel you I had all size bikes and I wish I could kept them alls for different riding moods
Please, just stop riding with shorts and a t-shirt
What shorts?
Motonosity, ow I thought you were wearing shorts but I rewatched the video and I noticed my error
Why are you wearing motorbike gloves?
why would he not?
Jorjito well what do gloves do?
Throw some of that white wrap under the tail. Should be able to find a good spot to make the cut while keeping the black inside. If it doesn't turn out good then pull it off.
I love my 2017 r6 but I also hate those cold starts and pretty much the same issues your having my friend
Love the look of the bike , I can’t wait to continue to mod mine as well
Have to agree on the back end! Sometimes I love it sometimes I hate it!
I'm stuck at the moment on which model to buy I love the front on the new models but love the rear on the older ones! 😳😬
I feel you on the cold start, that might bug me too but as for the rest; we must not sweat the little things....
I can't say my R6 has had that cold start issue, but I live in NZ, so could be a fair amount different. I know my killswitch is a single on/off/start switch instead of seperate on/off and starter buttons like yours.
With getting down in a tuck, you gotta push your butt back, and on the 2017, it goes WAY back. Like I'm 6'1" and can only just get it back there and it feels like I'm completely horizontal.
One thing that I hate, which is probably just bad luck for me, is that I've had to replace the oil level sensor and I've got an air intake temp sensor on the way to be replaced. All under warranty, but still kinda sucks.
Oh, and cruising on it can suck. When you open it up and it's trying to rip itself from out underneath you, that's when it feels comfortable! Hahaha
I'd recommend adjusting the clipons for your wrists though. I did that and it helped.
I also hate how easily black bikes gets dirty XD
Would you recommend me getting an r6? I want something in the 600cc range and i don't have a ton of money but in stuck on the r6. Worth it?
How about how much heat it gives off? I just rode one on a Yamaha demo day and it was really hot
I mean it's a gorgeous bike, BUT why no mirrors? C'mon dude.
Yeah handlebar mirrors would look good
I would love to see more First ride videos of you riding a bunch of different bikes. That would be awesome.
hi dude ! i love the channel ,just recently subbed. i am a younger guy and hoping to get a bike next year probably have to get an older bike like 2007-2013. what would you recommend other than an r6?
I haven’t ride in almost 10 yrs which one you think would be great to ride again..?
I had a 1998 Suzuki gsxr 600 I let an friend borrow it nd sadly he wrecked it I haven’t been on one ever since nd I’m thinking bout getting back on one bt sadly I can’t remember the gear shifts anymore so I wanted to kno which one you think it would fit me again..?
That white is looking awesome, good job on that. (Sorry I was gone for a month for military training so im catching up on videos lol)
I have similar gripes about my 2015 GSXR 600, even tho I love it.
I don’t have any problems with cold start. I live in NYC and every time I want to ride my bike, she is ready! What I am doing is keeping the battery full charged and every time refill the tank I am going to add and addictive to put more octane and keeping clean the full system.
My 07 CBR 600 rr was the same way. My head was right under the wind screen and the pegs are a little far forward at 6'1
When i bought my r6 a couple days ago the salesperson addressed the startup issue. He said it had to do with the throttle body being larger and to not give it gas like most people and instead just let it do its thing.
Great looking R6 ..i only love the yammie 600s ..its a clean look without mirrors ..but imo definitely a must for me. . i also tottaly get what you mean by the underside being rather plain ..unlike the raven..wich by the way do they still have that colour ?
Lovely bike, although I don't understand why you bought it - given you want the power of a 1000. Did you undertake a test ride before settling on the R6? I do agree with you that those plastic panels look cheap, but you could sort this by a hydrographic film treatment (along with a few other parts - &/or Carbon replacements - to keep the new look balanced). I'm not sure how easy it is to get the aforementioned finish done in The States, but 'Wicked Coatings' here in the UK did a CF finish on some of my ZX6R plastics - & it looks absolutely stunning. Stay safe Mr M & best wishes from t'other side of the pond.
I know it is more of a racing bike, but do you think Yamaha will ever add a fuel gauge setup onto the R6? Just curious because of your intro haha
Where is it go pro mounted for this view? Awesome vid!!!
My 2017 XSR900 with about 800 miles does the same thing! Won't start from cold on first try. Will start right up second try. I tried once to keep going on first try and after about 5 seconds it sputtered into life. Weird though.
is he shifting without using the clutch is he even using hit foot? it looks smooth someone plz explain i though the quickshifter was only for up shifting at high rpms?
So which do you prefer, the new r6 or the old one.
I had my generator explode on my 2007 Yamaha FZ1. No recalls for this known issue either. BUT they updated the generator for some reason...
I’m stuck between getting an R6 restricted or an R3 what do you guys think?
Cos of you i love the 2017 r6, but seeing as you have the 2020/2021 r1, would love to see a comparison between a fz/mt10sp and your r1
So does the lower end power ( powerband) of say CBR600 or Gixer so much of a diff compared to the R6?
Is that R6 auto shifting? Or does the new electronics package have an interrupt so you don't have to clutch?
How tall are you? Interesting to hear you say you think the bike feels small. I have an 05 and the updated body style from 06-16 seemed huge to me. I'm fairly short (5' 7") and I could barely touch with both feet on the last body style. Seems like a good fix for short guys like me.
Dude I love cruising with my R6 on the highway, that 7k~8k rpm does not bother me that much, at all really. I just get a little but hurt when a litter bike whoops my ass at anything past 80mph.
i mean if it only starts with a little throttle on a cold start literally just means the ecu just needs to be updated to let smudge more fuel in
Which has been your most favourite motorbike up to date out of all the ones you have ridden? Also, why did you switch from R1 to R6?
if you're going to compare things like the tail of this new bike to the old ones.. you should do comparison shots. side by side. or at least a pic of the old r6
Solid vid 🤙 can totally relate my r6 gets annoying with revving so high kinda miss my r1 but my r6 is way easier to ride
I went on fellers and ordered reflective white wrap and my bike is like a ghost at night time 😊.
Please ride the new street triple 765. And I highly suggest you ride the best sport cruiser on the market, the Victory Octane
I was wondering if you get an offer for R1M 2015 new from the dealership in the price of R6 2018 which one would you pick and why ?
Hey man I have a 2007 cbr600rr I have some work I need to put into it as far as cosmetics go. I really want a R6 but not sure if I should trade it in. U have any thoughts?
The power issue is what I love about the r6. When I was beginning to ride I
Wouldn't hit much more than 7000 rpms so low power was good for a noob. But as I felt more confident I got my rpms up jeez the thing can fly. Really nice bike tho imo
Get a black gas cap! The more bikes the better. I like the tail a lot more than the headlights lol.
DapperxDan Motovlog yeah I hate those headlights
The cold start problem is a fuel starvation issue flash the ecu. And dyno tune it and this will go away
so i see you not using the clutch when the bike is shifting? can someone please explain, very new to all of this
I was in between between an r6 or an r1. I commute around 60 miles a day from somewhat suburbs to the city and up until now the gsxr 600 was great for that because of how comfortable it is. I wasn't sure if a liter bike would be necessary as the bike is 30% track and 70% cruising and commuting. I'll have to get to a dealership and test out both
60 miles, it an r1, your wrist will love you.
If you miss liter bikes, maybe consider a supernaked, like the mt10 sp, superduke r, s1000r? Or just get the H2 lol like 650ib and 5up.
I would love to see a track day with hunter... those are always great
Hello I’m new to the r6 world and maybe I will buy a 2017 r6 new next month.... any tips to how to learn to drive it!!!? Thanks!
I have a 2018 yamaha r6. I watch a lot of you vids but how many gallons does it take for you to fill it from when the light comes? Online it says 4.6 gallons tank and I don't even get to the three gallons and it's full smh maybe you might know what the deal with that is.
I love motorcycles and every time I see someone on one I will violently wave at them. I eventually want to learn to ride and then get one. i used to live in Austin and now I live an hour outside of Austin and I freaked out when I recognized where he was. now I want to find him riding and say hi but I don't go outside when I don't have to.
hey man, just curious about how tall are you? you look pretty comfortable flat footing this bike
Only that cold start! So annoying! I do use that throttle and start though, impossible without it, but after it starts all the frustration just melts away.
Did you really like the video you made on the Honda gold wing? Did you love the edit?
Do you use a Steering Damper on your R6? Also do you recommend getting one. (I just purchased a 2017 R6)
If you wheelie, definitely. But, in general, it's never a bad idea to have one. Insulates you a little bit more against them nasty tank slappers.
Any R6 content is good content 👍👍
Would you recommend a r6 for a beginner bike?
I hope Yamaha will bring the previous exterior design back with some improvement.
Just to point out that not all 2017 yamaha r6 has the cold start issue. It's been raining for a week here in DC. I barely tapped my start button this morning and it started right away.
Ben Orim luck you
Don’t know much about bikes but what allows him to shift without a clutch?
I don't have the cold start issue on my r6 I just purchased. Weird. It's a 2017 too not the 2018
What is the name of the wrap you used. I love it.
You gonna change the colour of this wheels or you gonna buy new ones?
You should swap your old R1 with a new R1 or an M version.I would love to see that :-)
Motonosity, maybe you can change your clipons so they are a little bit further to the front. I've seen in one of dave moss his videos that you should change the clipons to your fittings, and seeing the video the clipons dont align with your knuckles so that means you "should" move them forward a bit. Might make the bike a little bit bigger for you :D
Is this bike automatic? Cant see him pressing the clutch while bikes shifting through gears?
H Virdi it's called quick shifter.
Do you think the cold start issue could be fixed with a slightly altered base map that simulated that 2-5% throttle you give it to start it up? I feel like someone out there could make a quick buck reprogramming the stock ECU if Yamaha isn't willing to acknowledge the issue..?
omfg, literally just got to the part where you mention that. fml lol.
I have a first generation R6 and it has a cold start issue too. But its also carbed
My R3 has the same cold start issue. I'm pretty sure it could just be a motorcycle thing. I had a friend with a FortyEight and that did the same thing. Also, pretty much half of the comments are saying they have the same thing in multiple different years of the bike or even different bikes like that ninja 300 guy somewhere in the comments. But, I'm considering getting the R6 but I really just want to jump to the R1. My main concern is the weight of the R1 and practicality of having that big of a bike for daily commuting.
Howcome you went from an R1 back to the R6?
The reason for the power band is that it has 4 cylinders each 150cc so they are not big enough to produce the low end torque and power they need to be revved high as so they can make the power.
bro i have the same mic but my videos come out with nasty audio pattern...not sure whether my mic position is wrong or what...also would you mind telling your mic position and effect you use for your audio when sit down for editing
Why you dont use the clutch man? its not necesary to up marches?
