My mate was looking for an R6 forum when she first bought hers but I think she only found ONE in the states... which wasn't very useful.

I'll try and get in touch with her and find out if she ever found a UK based one.

Thanks chuck. I found the US one but no luck with any UK ones :roll:

My brother's just got one and we've got a few issues with it tis all. All stats indicate top speed of 160mph yet i've had 175mph with 5G revs left in top (private test track obviously :lol: :twisted: ) but there are no reciepts for any engine work done to it. Also it won't start without throttle applied :roll: Just a few little things.

Probably had the gearing changed and the speedo not corrected... Check how many teeth on the sprockets and check what the std sizes are

I posted your query over on Essex Bikers and got this back:

The throttle thing is normal.

And the speed thing is an inaccurate speedo, again normal.

Nothing to worry about bud.

Here's the link if you want to hop over there and throw a few more questions around.
