Yamaha R6 Engine Swap

10 days before the first race on the Isle of Man road racing calendar - And the R6 needs an engine swap.
Straight forward enough, with a bit of a head scratch and a wiggle.
Not exactly a 'How to' but probably enough to guide you if you're hesitating.

I want to see a Yamaha r6 engine swap for 1000cc Yamaha r1

[@korbenbarber6773]

Will a 2016 r6 motor in a 2007 frame?

[@SLIIDERID]

What happened with the old engine and how many miles did it have?

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

It’s sat on a wheelchair in the garage 😂 it’ll be getting a refresh at some point (should probably do that soon)
Unsure on mileage

[@FreddyKings87]

Can you please confirm the 06-07 R6 engine is identical to 2012 R6 engine (fitting-wise).

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

It is ✅

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

You have a link to where you got the engine currently looking for one for my 2008

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

This one was from a Facebook group for race related sales

[@Carbon6ix]

is there a specific place to buy the engine? mine blew after 5 hours of riding her for the first time

[@coxesadams]

I have an r6 2020 for parts

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

I’d try and find a reputable builder in your area (or at least close)
5 hours is not very long though!

[@edgarzahid2644]

@@coxesadams is the engine still available?

[@demo1474]

will a 2006 motor fit into 2008 frame??

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

Yep 👍🏻

[@frankcastle3827]

Did you swap it with a newer engine?

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

A fresh Keith Withing built engine 😁

[@dougiequick1]

I wound up here looking for anyone that might have tried installing an MT--09 motor into an R6? Cant find that anyone know will it work? I have seen the R1 engine shoehorned in so that is encouraging....I was just thinking someone would do this for the attention if nothing else after all there are a LOT of folks that cant wait for an R9 which this swap would sort of create ! I bet it would get a LOT of hits and likes and subscribes on that project Hopefully the 2021 mt-09 completer with electronics

[@UnrestrictedIsle]

I think it would take a lot of machining and engineering to fit in, as the 09 engine is much narrower. If someone wants to give me a lathe and a mill I’ll do it 😆
