Work is underway on repairing the R6 after crashing out of the first race of the Sunday race day at Snetterton. Although repaired sufficiently in the pits to race the 2nd of the day, it did return home looking rather second hand with the fairing held with tape and cable ties and the fuel tank rather reshaped.

Snetterton modifications

A new tank was located and purchased and a new set of fairings, although the seat unit was repairable. The R6 also required new crash protectors, screen, clip ons and brake master cylinder.

tank repairs

Over the course of several weeks Martin did the required repairs and resprayed the seat unit, tank and new fairings in the now familiar yellow and black colour scheme.

All of the new components were added including some CRG adjustable folding levers and LSL clip-ons. The bike is now ready for the season ahead
