1-2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION GEN INFO EB102000 IMPORTANT INFORMATION PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND DIS- ASSEMBLY 1. Before removal and disassembly, remove all dirt, mud, dust, and foreign material. 2. Use only the proper tools and cleaning equipment. Refer to “SPECIAL TOOLS”. 3. When disassembling, always keep mated parts together. This includes gears, cylin- ders, pistons and other parts that have been “mated” through normal wear. Mated parts must always be reused or replaced as an assembly. 4. During disassembly, clean all of the parts and place them in trays in the order of disassembly. This will speed up assembly and al- low for the correct installation of all parts. 5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire. EB102010 REPLACEMENT PARTS Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all replace- ments. Use oil and grease recommended by Yamaha for all lubrication jobs. Other brands may be similar in function and ap- pearance, but inferior in quality. EB102020 GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS 1. When overhauling the engine, replace all gaskets, seals, and O-rings. All gasket sur- faces, oil seal lips, and O-rings must be cleaned. 2. During reassembly, properly oil all mating parts and bearings and lubricate the oil seal lips with grease.

1-3 IMPORTANT INFORMATION GEN INFO CAUTION: USING A DYNAMOMETER The YZF-R6 has a carbon muffler that may change color when exposed to high tempera- tures. Therefore, when using a dynamometer always use a fan to cool the muffler. EB102030 LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER PINS After removal, replace all lock washers / plates 1 and cotter pins. After the bolt or nut has been tightened to specification, bend the lock washer tabs and the cotter pin ends along a flat of the bolt or nut. EB102040 BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS 1. Install bearings and oil seals so that the manufacturer’s marks or numbers are vis- ible. When installing oil seals, lubricate the oil seal lips with a light coat of lithium soap base grease. Oil bearings liberally when installing, if appropriate. 1 Oil seal Do not spin the bearing with compressed air because this will damage the bearing sur- faces. 1 Bearing EB102050 CIRCLIPS Before reassembly, check all circlips carefully and replace damaged or distorted circlips. Al- ways replace piston pin clips after one use. When installing a circlip 1 , make sure that the sharp-edged corner 2 is positioned opposite the thrust 3 that the circlip receives. 4 Shaft
