Vehicle Details
Year : 2000
Make and Model : Yamaha R6
Exterior Color : Blue
Interior Color : White Seats
Auto or Manual? : 6 speed
Odometer Reading : Around 55000km (my battery is low so when it is charged I will post the exact mileage)
Location of Vehicle : Calgary, Bankview S.W.
Description :
I bought this bike 2.5 years ago for my graduation at 38000km. The previous owner crashed the bike while stunting, and I have also low sided the bike at 40 km/h. Lets start with the bad things about the bike.
BAD:
-Lots of scratches on fairings, and a scrape on tank.
-Carburetors need a tune up or it is almost better to buy a used carb rack. I performed a cleaning procedure a couple of times on them but they need to be synchronized to run well. I posted this cleaning procedure on R6messagenet a while back.

-Broken Fairing Stay. Again this was caused by the previous owner's attempt at an endo which broke the stay and scratched the gas tank. I have an aluminum bracket in place but lost the bolts for it. It could be secured again with some bolts and maybe even zip ties.
-Battery is sort of low but it will be fine when ridden for a couple of hours.
GOOD:
-Clean title
-Hindle Aluminum Slip On
-Xenon blue bulbs
-Brand new Michelin Pilot Powers (400 km ago)
-Brand new RK 520 Gold chain, as well as new sprockets front and rear. The front is down one tooth and the rear is up two, for better acceleration. (400km ago)
-Polished aluminum frame. I wasn't really thorough with this so it still has the old rough aluminum at some spots, but looks very well when polished.
-New wheel bearings front and rear after my rear bearing decided to break.
-Painted Windscreen w/ Termignoni logo lol
-White Vinyl Seats
-Oil + Cleaned 3 days ago
-Includes Mother's polish, Grease, Carb cleaner, DOT4 Brake Fluid, Seafoam Gas additive and many more maintenance products
Reason for selling: I have not ridden this bike at all this season because I am looking for a car.
The bike has not had insurance or been registered all year, and it makes me sad looking at it collecting dust. Its been a great beginner bike for me and has treated me well. I have cared for this bike to the best of my abilities and it has gotten oil changes every 3000 km
Due to the insurance and registration I cannot give people a test ride, and you will need to pick the bike up somehow.
Asking Price : $2500 OBO
I am going to Cali to pick up a car on the 26th so I would love it if I could sell the bike before my trip. If not I will be back after August 10th.
