[OahuGrownR6]

Hey Guys,

Im looking at perhaps getting my hands on a 99-02 year R6, but I am a little worried about having a carbed bike in cold weather. I was wondering if anyone could share there experiences with carbed R6's and cold weather. Do they usually start up easily after a night of sitting in the cold? or will i have to play with the choke a lot? Where I am it can get down to 10-20 degrees fahrenheit at night.

Any help to my questions is greatly appreciated!

Thanks! hope to be part of the R6 family soon!

Different Yami but my carb'd '01 FZ1 runs fine in the 20's. I keep it in a heated garage though. When on trips and it is outside in the 20's you have to crank the starter a bit more and give it full choke but it has always started.

Yea it will start don't worry, it is a Yamaha, just use the choke.

If someone came to me and offered me a million dollars to start one of the engines in my garage, It would be a ford, not a Yamaha. I am sorry. And that is coming from a guy that currently owns 2 Yamaha's and has owned 3 Fords.

we went through so many powerstrokes up north. ford has had nothing but troubles with this 6.0--they need a new engine. they do have strong axels tho.
