YZF-037067
The 2008 Yamaha YZF-R6S combines a high-revving 600cc engine, lightweight aluminum chassis, and classic Yamaha sportbike styling. For experienced riders who appreciate a traditional four-cylinder supersport, it delivers responsive handling and strong acceleration.
Sold alongside the newer-generation R6, the R6S retained Yamaha’s earlier supersport platform, conventional front forks, and a traditional side-mounted exhaust.
600cc Four-Cylinder Performance
The R6S features a liquid-cooled, 600cc inline four-cylinder engine with dual overhead camshafts and 16 valves. Electronic fuel injection manages fuel delivery, while a six-speed transmission allows riders to make the most of the engine’s rev range.
Its engine becomes especially lively as engine speed rises, rewarding riders who enjoy working through the gears. A wet multiplate clutch and chain final drive complete the drivetrain.
Lightweight Chassis and Adjustable Suspension
An aluminum Deltabox frame provides a lightweight, rigid foundation. Compact dimensions and a short wheelbase contribute to the motorcycle’s quick steering and athletic feel.
The fully adjustable 43mm conventional front fork and rear single shock each provide 4.7 inches of wheel travel. Spring preload, compression damping, and rebound damping adjustments allow riders to tailor suspension settings to their weight and riding conditions.
Dual 298mm floating front brake discs with four-piston calipers provide stopping power, supported by a 220mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper.
