Yamaha YZF R6 2000 Rev Limit
 

hey guys

need your help with somthing, i have a mate that has a YZF R6 2000. that has a rev limiter on it. it will only rev up to around 16k - 16.5k. i now that the rev limiter is in the cdi/ECU somewere.

now i know with the SV that you can buy a little box off ebay that you plug in and it removes it, or you can just remove some wires witch do the same job.

the question i have for you is. dose anyone know if you can do this to a YZF R6. if so how do you do it. or what do you have to buy to do it

iv spent around 4 hours searching the net and a r6 forum and can not find anything :(

cheers nicky s

Powercommander? ?

You really don't want to be raising the rev limiter. Are you not thinking of the TRE mod?

TRE Mod ???

what is wrong with raising the rev limiter ? he wants it so it redlines and not jsut revs to 16.5k were it sounds its geting louder and not much elsa.

is there a lot you have to do to change this then ?

There's lots to do when you blow your engine :lol: Is he racing? Or just willy waving?

TRE mod : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nikko-De-Restr...#ht_2104wt_941

(I have no idea how credible that mod is on that bike)

There was a really really interesting thread on rev limiters recently relating to daytona 675's. i think embee was the man with the very knowledgeable post about why you can't just go higher willy nilly. I'll have a look for it.

there it is

Willy Waving. this is the sort of mod i was looking for but dose it really work as they also do these for the sv and poeple say dont waste your money just remove these wires ect.

thanks :)

he only wants to do it so he has more revs he is not gonig to be redlining it in each gear all the time.

Re: Yamaha YZF R6 2000
 

reading this it looks like its not such a good idea but then again that thread is about doing it to a race bike whitch is going to be ragged where my mates bike wont be ragged any wear near as much as a racebike

Re: Yamaha YZF R6 2000
 

But the race bike will be at the correct temperature, with fresh oil and lots of tlc. Hence why I suggested in that thread it can be done, and that in this case that it shouldn't.

Is it just that the needle doesn't go in to the red? Frickin' change the surround if that's the case :lol:

Re: Yamaha YZF R6 2000
 

i see your point. nay its not because it dose not go into the read bit its becuase it dose rev up yes it revs fast but it stops at 16.5k and sounds horrible clocks say it go up to 18 why build a bike the limit it anyway ??? if it is bad for it to rev that hig why make it so it can ?

looking at that item on ebay it says that it only changed the limit in 2 gears witch is the same idea as the sv is there anywaqy to make it so it can redline in each gear ?
