Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2015 Yamaha R6. Please note: Per VINData, this bike has been salvaged in the past. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
The Yamaha R6 has long been the forerunner of riding innovation and cutting-edge technology in the 600cc supersport market. The 7th generation R6 was no different, introducing new features that helped the brand in blue retain their class-leading status in the 600 class, all the while navigating around increasing EPA regulations and restrictions. The newest generation R6 introduced features such as the YCC-T, a Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle System which helped to maintain consistency in throttle response in all conditions, as well as the YCC-I, a Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake that varied the intake tract length for better cylinder filling and a broader powerband.
The YZF-R6 also now came standard with a slipper-type clutch, which was essential for those looking to take their motorcycles and push them to their absolute limits. The engine saw updates to the ECU and fueling, as well as even higher compression, which increased the R6’s midrange power. As Motorcycle News phrased it: A designer’s touch here and the same effort there, has led to the Yamaha R6 being the definitive supersport package…”
This example is VIN: JYARJ16E4FA032686. The seller purchased the bike four years ago and states, “It was salvaged and purchased by an aspiring MotoAmerica racer who unfortunately got injured prior to the season and never raced the bike. It was then purchased by Brandie Cox (she races in CMRA and CRA) and was raced in CMRA for around one and a half seasons. She grew up on GSX-R750, didn’t like the Yamaha, and went back to a GSX-R750. I purchased the R6 from her. I knew her prior to purchasing the bike via mutual friends. Brandie didn’t know why it was on the salvage title. Our best guess is the bike was dropped while stationary – there is some pitting in the frame on the right hand side. Neither one of us noticed a performance impact (she is much more skilled than me).
The odometer shows 11,304 miles. Per the seller, “I’ve only used it at the track. I did 10-12 track days on it.”
Maintenance:
The seller states, “Fluids every 2 track days. Full refresh every year. I don’t have records, but I may be able to get them. All general maintenance was done by Jim Dugger’s crew at Eagles Canyon Raceway, suspension work was done by Jim Cambora (supports CMRA and MotoAmerica), and season refreshes were done by Steve Upchurch (supports CMRA and MotoAmerica). Brandie had Steve and Jim service the bike during her ownership as well.”
