For 2010, Yamaha has made some minor tweaks to the YZF-R6 that help bolster its midrange performance. By adding a 100mm longer exhaust pipe, remapping the the R6’s ECU, and tweaking the variable length intake stacks, Yamaha has allegedly found more grunt down low, although the company hasn’t released exactly how much grunt they found with these improvement. Continue reading to see the rest of the changes to the R6 for 2010.
Yamaha has also quietly reduced the R6’s fuel capacity from 4.6 gallons to 4.5 gallons, and some how added 3lbs to the bikes wet weight, which suggest more changes can be found under the hood of the motorcycle.
Like the R1, the R6 is also getting a price increase for the relatively minor changes. The 2010 Yamaha YZF-R6 will retail with a MSRP of $10,490 for all colors, up from last year’s range of $9,900-$10,090. The Pearl Orange paint scheme is also no longer available.
