My 2000 5EB Yamaha R6 Mods

[YZFR1-Dave]

Evening

Well i bought my 2000 R6 a few weeks ago as a stock bike. I am starting to mod it gradually!

So far, i have bought a few carbon fibre accessories, stubby carbon exhaust, polished heel plates

How she started

looking good. Shame about that fake carbon though. Hate it personally. Whats the idea behind that exhaust wrap? I've seen it on a few bikes but have no idea what it does.

Cheers,
Damon

Ah welll, i am mainly doing it to keep my headers in better nick and help prevent any cracks/leaks for as long as possible

i think better 'mods' would be something like a steering damper and gear indicator.
polished rearsets and yoke and reservoir cap are gay as fuck, and the small plate looks rediculous as you still have the massive block of an undertray. cut that down or get a tail tidy. even better, a 5MT undertray.

3/10

Lol to be fair mate the exhaust wrap is a bad bad idea.
The zhorst and that nice and subtle.

Don't get me wrong, if you like it then go for it, but wrapping the headers will do nothing to stop corrosion, if anything it'll accelerate it.

Apart from the exhaust its all pretty gash. I actually agree with Matt even though he's a cunt
Steering damper completly transforms early R6's.
Either way I'm just jealous since I sold mine and miss it dearly.

i fitted an ohlins damper to my cbr and no matter what setting i put it on, it made the bike feel like crap, it just made it really sluggish to turn in and kept throwing me wide, i stuck with it for months hoping it was a 'get used to' thing. I also found it just made it feel numb and it was hard to tell what the front end was doing. So i just sold it and the bike feels a million times better now.

I don't understand why people have to come on here and slag of peoples bikes. Fair enough if people have come on to ask for others opinion but when someone is posting their pride and joy it's a different matter. Everyone has their own personal taste, there are bikes in this section that in peoples words I think look "gash" and therefore I just don't respond to the thread for the sake of boosting my post count.

Any way back to this thread, sorry mate I quite like what you have done to you bike

Did you wrap the exhaust in the end Dave? I'm curious to see how it came out

[The Tot]

Very uncommon colour, although I would have thought that a Titanium or SS end can would have broken the black at the rear and provided it with a contrast.

Exhaust wraps are also used on endurance bikes where the engines run for 8+ hours on end so there would be some beneficial effects from thermal insulation. I remember seeing a few phase 1 bikes having their headers wrapepd in them.

Corrosion prevention, just spray it with ACF50 OR do the Craig treatment and rub it down with emery.
