2003 YZF-R6(c) Service Bulletin!

YIPPEE!!!

(from http://pub114.ezboard.com/fyamahar6messagenetfrm39.showMessage?topicID=189.t opic):

I just received a technical bulletin from Yamaha regarding the 03 r6 ignition coils. Yamaha is replacing all 03 ignition coils (Nippon Denso) with the 04 ones (Mitsubishi) free of charge. This is for all 2003 YZF-R6R(C) models.

Yamaha Technical Bulletin #M2003-019

Symptom: The ignition consistently misfires during acceleration and one or more direct ignition coils arc to the cylinder head within the spark plug well.

Cause: Water intrusion and insufficient insulation of the outer plastic case of the direct ignition coil, insome cases, may allow electric current, in the secondary portion, to arc to the cylinder head.

Remedy: If the symptom is encountered, replace all four direct ignition coils with the new tipy direct ignition coils. The new coils have increased water intrusion resistance and improved insulation.

Dealer remedy: After confirming one or more direct coils show signs of arcing, install the four new-type direct ignition coils.

SERVICE OF ALL UNITS IS AUTHORIZED REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY STATUS.

As long as it's free, it shouldn't matter where you bring it right! Fun Bike Service Dept isn't too bad. You can try House of Motorcycles or HOM. I prefer to call them HOMo b/c they jacked me on my Sidi boots! :rolleyes:

Dre - I bet it's a big relief to finally get this problem figured out!

[cbrsmurf]

Awesome! Will they pay for your coils if you got em replaced before?

[TreAdidas]

OMG YAMAHA OWNING UP!.... this is big news!

I got mine done at House of Motorcycles.... I apparently got my bike in like 5 minutes after they decided to do this. I do not seem to have any serious problems with them. My only qualm is the first few cracks of the trottle in the morning are a bit slugglish (note that I consistently let my bike warm up until about 125 degrees farenheit before I so much as touch the throttle) but by the time I am down the block it is rolling just fine.

I am not necessarily condoning HOM but I would rather take my bike there than Fun Bike Center.... That place just gives me the heebeegeebees when it comes to service. I dunno why... they just do.

DUDE DO NOT TELL ME THAT YOU DO NOT REV THE PISS OUT OF YOUR BIKE BEFORE IT GETS TO 125

IVE SEEN YOU DO IT A GAZZILION TIMES....

Dre - When are you getting the ride back? It's snowing in them mountains!

[dre_2k2_f4i]

I'm still waiting for the coils to get in... probably all being shipped to San Diego. What's wrong with using your bike?
