Supporting the motorcycle

Since the Yamaha YZF-R6 has no cen-
terstand, follow these precautions
when removing the front and rear
wheel or performing other mainte-
nance requiring the motorcycle to
stand upright. Check that the motor-
cycle is in a stable and level position
before starting any maintenance. A
strong wooden box can be placed un-
EAU01095
der the engine for added stability.
Front wheel service
To stabilize the rear of the motorcycle,
either use a motorcycle stand or place
a motorcycle jack under the frame in
front of the rear wheel to prevent it from
moving from side to side. Then use a
motorcycle stand to elevate the front
wheel off of the ground.
EAU01579 Rear wheel service
Use a motorcycle stand or motorcycle
jack to elevate the motorcycle so the
rear wheel is off the ground. Alterna-
tively, two jacks can be placed under
the frame or swingarm.
