- In this video i brought myself a new project motorcycle, well what's left of one.
I bought a 2010 Yamaha R6 out of the Copart auction and it didn't take long to realise the fire damage was from two holes in the engine where the piston rods left.
so i pull the engine out the R6 assess the damage as we go along.
Join me in this rebuild series as we either put this bike back on the road or turn it into a Track bike. What do you reckon?

I use to buy busted bikes say 6 years ago, honestly unless you just had a need for parts, this was kind of a crap buy, not shitting on you. just it is what it is. we sometimes make dumb decisions.
You are a brave man, the only way this restoration/repair makes sense to me would be through TH-cam revenue. I'm watching, and have subscribed.👍
Powder from Extinguishers is extremely corrosive. Clean all your tools you have used everything around where the bike has been take bike out side and pressure wash it to get rid of all traces of the powder
I honestly did more cleaning than working on this bike🤣. It ends up everywhere
ginge, we can be friends
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊Hello hope you and your family are fit and well
You definitely payed to much
You could contact copart and say this bike should be a cat B breaker
This is my first watch of your channel
Keep up the fantastic educational videos 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Never buy copart uk bud
yeah that's the last time
Your logic is good - there are fewer R6's on the road now as the pool isn't being increased. So, as you have the road parts, I'd rather put it back on the road than make just another track bike.
Yeah makes sense to put it back on the road, but in between making this series I done my first ever track day so now I have the taste for it 🤣.
@@DGMotorcycles Nice one. I have a Ducati 748 that's a road bike, but it's very quick to turn into a track bike - maybe 15 minutes to remove lights, mirrors, indicators, rear fender thing with number plate, and change the fairings over for my fibreglass set. It might take longer on the '10 R6 but you don't really need to do all that, especially if you're in the novices.
Are you thinking of doing any more trackdays this year? I'm looking at Donny mid-oct which is when we should get an Indian summer for a week or two 🤞
If there are now fewer R6's out there that means sourcing parts will be difficult and expensive. You've got a lot stripped now. Part it out and try to recover as much cash as you can. If a decent example is only worth twice what you paid it will cost you more in time, effort and cash to get this thing back together than it is worth. Repairing fire damaged vehicles only makes sense if they are extremely rare and valuable.
Going through a rebuild of a 2005 5SL R6 myself :) Feel the pain. Gladly it's only taken damage from someone popping the clutch and whiskey throttled it into a curb (well at least i hope that story is true) But it's been a painful experience having to source a subframe that wasn't bent 250miles later i bought one. Just a few bits to put on and it's back to it's former glory.
Keep up the work, enjoyed watching that.
aw very nice, yeah it can be painfully slow sometimes trying to source parts for a good price. but its always great satisfaction when the bike is complete and you go for that first ride.
Brake it for part's, you may just wipe your feet , may take a while, Top tip, Don't brows on Internet while under the influence of alcohol 😂. Good luck young fella.
2K AND A DELUSION MIND ,BRV YOU COULD Have BROUGHT MY SV 1.2K
There is a Haynes manual available for 2010 R6
Yeah I will pick one up but I don’t think they cover a lot of the torque settings. More of a basic service guide
You need to wear a mask my friend,carsonogenic debris floating about after a vehicle fire.
Just found your channel, love it, Subscribed 👍
Appreciate it thanks
Hello new to the channel , love the taking apart and rebuild stuff am currently doing a zr1000 after sea damage . Can't wait to see the engine being done
just sell the parts that are in a decent shape to another country ungonna make those 2k back easily
Good fun.. not every decision needs to make sense. Sometimes the challenge is inspiration enough!
@@Jfbm3891 exactly that. Nothing beats the satisfaction of repairing something that would probably be stripped for parts.
@@DGMotorcycles I’m looking forward to following your progress
Get it insured, then let a fire finish what was started and claim the insurance 😂😂
Hi i have bought myself the Abba Sky lift . What a job great piece of kit . ITS BRITISH wow great . Great stream mate thanks just subed . Looking forwards to watching your streams 👍👍👍
honestly the abba sky lift is amazing well built and makes life so much easier. thanks for the sub.
You're wrong the video wasn't long enough. Grab an engine mount if you got the spare cash will make stripping it a doddle and save you some aches and pains along the way with the back.
yeah i was trying to find a nice but cheap mount, gunna need to save the pennies for an engine lol.
2K for that bike wow your either crazy or brave lol . The bike is simply a right off and not even worthy of rebuilding for the track lol. Get it insured and burn it LOL. The bike wasn't looked after before the fire so what's the rest of it like. My mates Z10 did the same thing it through a rod and holed the front of the engine .Costly job so he just scraped the bike. He bought it off Ebay and was truly ripped off . The auction is always a bit of a risk .
yeah this will honestly be my last bike out the auctions, they have become so greedy that they are beyond dishonest.
Interesting…… good luck. Couple of nights on EBay should find a lot of those bits depending on what route you go down. Tight budget to fix that for a profit though.
Yeah I’m glad there’s a lot of aftermarket parts out there. Corr i doubt there’s any profit to be made in this bike.😂
can get a haynes manual for this year r6 mate
Why a track bike is that because it may not be road worthy? Well that will be safe taking it up to high speed on a track, these guys that fix wrecks on TH-cam will get someone killed.
The engine blew up which lead to a small fire resulting in a fair bit of cosmetic damage.
It would be cheaper for me to turn into a track bike as I could get things like cheap fairings and wouldn’t need to source lots of expensive parts to get it through an MOT.
In the video I show there’s no damage to the frame. I wouldn’t be rebuilding a bike that would be unsafe for either road or track use.
OXYACETYLENE TORCH REQUIRED
😂 Rodney having a look about 😅
Love this youtube channel
Thats a cool jack.
Oh my good gawd £2 large??? one of the best bike videos ive seen in a long time
im in mate
GAVE ME A LAUGH
where is that hole where that perfectly straight (on camera at least) rod came out off?
yeah one rod has perfectly flew out and the other had become disconnected to the piston head and caused chaos
back on the road
Rather you than me mate

Be better off getting a replacement engine rather than trying go repair that.
@@matthewjackson3034 💯percent, I don’t think there is going to be much left of that engine 🤣
@@DGMotorcycles be more time and cost effective too
The gold wheela are nice . How much do you want for them ?
2k 🤣🤣. Nah nothing is for sale just yet I’ll let you know if I change my mind.
@@DGMotorcycles 😊👍
More money than sense.
@@stevetee4145 I wish that was true 🤣
wow deleted comment? LOL
@@spent808 ?
@@DGMotorcycles I said, 'if you can find an engine, turn it into a super n*ked' I guess youtube has a problem with n*ked...ness 🤣
