FocusDave01 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Well not good, we tore her down changed oil, checked air filter cleaned underneeth cant find where it did those few leak spots. hasnt leaked since then we took it on a test run about 5-10 miles and 14k rpm and up spewed out thick white and lil blue tint smoke and i mean so bad i could see it clear as day in the rearview mirror. my buddy was following behind me and said it wasnt good. Got her back let her sit bout 30 min check the oil and there was nothing on the dipstick. so i pbrought her home parked her in the back of the garage and i guess im done for the season casue on the quotes ive gotten from different places and from what people are telling me, piston rings, head gasket vavles who knows is gonna cost way more than i have. ive put every last dollar ive had in this bike from down payment to oil, and other parts, so ill still hang around the forums but wont be able to go ridin with any of yall. seems all the local "trustworthy dealerships" are too busy anyway and said with my problems there is no way they can fit me in this season even if i had the $$...

Harb67 Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Just a thought here. I don't know anything about R6's, but I do know that people total bikes all the time. Maybe you could see if someone has a badly f'd up bike that you can get the parts you need from? There's gotta be a way to get things running again without spending an arm and a leg.

I used to recommend holeshot motorsports because there was a Yamaha certified mechanic working there, but I think they went out of business.I also know a guy that is a mechanic for kings dodge and has a 06 too. maybe he or I could help you out also.

FocusDave01 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 thanks alot guys for all the input and offers to help me out, so far i talked to rueben at 35motorsports and he does have an 06 engine with 900 miles on it wants 1500 for it and 350 to swap my motor and instal that one not bad price. but its gonna be really hard to come up with that kinda loot..but he was the first to call he sounds like a great guy and knows his stuff..and by you all recomending him thats a bonus..if i cant find something local and cheaper then i guess rueben will be my go to guy. just wish he wasnt 2.5 hours away..

NinjaNick Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Honestly....i'd get in my full leathers and fall off the bike at about 40mph and let it ghostride into some woods and claim it as a wreck. NEW BIKE! Seriously it sounds crazy, but I would do it if it was me. I've done worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW BIKE! Seriously it sounds crazy, but I would do it if it was me. I've done worse.Or have someone "steal" it.... report it , collect the insurance money and buy a new bike..... just make sure the bike ends up in a ditch/ forest somewhere wrecked beyond comprehension....

NinjaNick Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 I knew there was something I liked about you Moose. My father was going to do that for me once 11 years ago, but we ended up not having too. I'd rather wreck it though because you can't get in trouble for that.

FocusDave01 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 Do you have a definate diagnosis of what is wrong with it?well not by a dealer no, but we did what rueben suggested took the lowers off cleaned and looked for leaks changed oil and filter check all bolts and everyting we could visualy see checked air filter and plugs the air filter wasnt really dirty but if you rubbed ur fingers acrossed it unless they have a coating on them felt oily, plugs looked like plugs at 7k miles, then we bolted back up and he followed me and had me take it to 13-14k on a stretch of road i didnt even need him i looked in my rearview mirror and it looked like i created a nice thick fog of white/blueish tint smoke. and i mean thick very very bad. again only at 12k rpms and higher so we switched i hopped on his bike and sure enough nothing but smoke. got her back on lvl ground at the house checked oil after letting her sit for bout 30 min and dipstick read bone dry. and the smoke smelled like burnt oil for sure. so we came to conclusion either piston rings fried or valve problems. and rusty thanks man for the advice it just opens more options for me.
