Im picking one up tomorrow...a 99 with about 4k on it..already fixed up.
The main question I had was....Are there any know problems..things I should look for? Factory recalls and such. I rode it..it is the best bike I ever rode...course my other bike was a 92 GSXR 750. 200lbs heavier.

Thats all...also is this one of the better R6 boards out there?
Is there a few more I should check?

Only real 'problem' is the gear change detent spring which was beefed up on the 00 onwards model. This can break and lead to gear selection problems. Simple to fix tho.

yea this forum is great :jump
you should also check out the r1 forum. there are a lot of members on there who either used to have a r6 or still do. there is a little place for r6 posts there too.

There can be a second gear problem as well as a battery leak problem to look out for.

Check out the link below & go to the R6 Warranty and PreMature Failure section
