in europe luckely we don't have all this foam...

 

[peterj59]

I have nver seen blockoff plates in that area, also the foam is ridiculous, i mean to obstruct air intake by foam is patthetic

@BLADE711 and @peterj59 this is the US EPA at work. The stock airbox on a Yamaha R6 is too loud for Laguna Seca track days. Sadly the rules are what they are. I have removed all of it!

It looks like some of that foam was coming away, were they easy to remove?

 

[D4rkside]

I did check my EU sc82 , no Foam inside confirmed

Must be for noise requirements. Silly but at least it can be removed easily enough.

Good info. Didn't know about the foam. Another thing to take care of...

No, and it was a pain in the ass

maybe thats why US models have less Horsepower hahaha put alot of foam in the airbox entrance

Installed Graves Motorsports smog block off plates and full Akrapovic EVO exhaust...

Leave the reeds in and the metal plates behind those reeds.

Any tips for removal?

@oldmansan I pulled off the foam as close to the base as possible and then soaked the remaining parts in Maxima electrical contact cleaner and rubbed it off with a cloth. Entire process took a couple of hours.

Installed a manually adjustable Ohlins HO568 - revision 1 shock - there are some holes in the frame to allow access to the top shock bolt which has a torque of 34 N/m. Linkage and lower shock bolt are 44 N/m. It does not look like it will be very easy to adjust rebound/compression and/or remove the shock without removing the tank and subframe inner fender.

Started with 110 N/m spring with 11 mm or preload installed at stock length of 317 mm (stretched), 14 rebound and 12 compression

@D4rkside thx for sharing....this is a good idea The shock is difficult to remove only because the tank, tail section bodywork and inner fender need to be removed to gain access. I imagine, however, that the inner fender could be trimmed to eliminate this.

Mori has always made such beautiful kit.

How did you remove the tail bodywork? I tried but couldnt remove the middle piece with the hole for key (seat) there are 2 weird Pins.
