2006 Yamaha R6 Frame Swap, Stem Bearings, & Oil Change

In this build, we take on a full frame swap for a 2006 Yamaha R6. Whether you’re dealing with crash damage or upgrading your setup, swapping a frame is a major job, but we break it down step by step.

We start by stripping down the bike completely, removing the engine, suspension, and wiring to get the old frame out of the way. With everything disassembled, we take the opportunity to replace the steering stem bearings for smoother handling and better longevity. Once the new frame is in place, we reinstall the engine, reassemble the front end, and ensure everything is torqued to spec.

To wrap up the job, we perform an oil and filter change, keeping the engine well-lubricated and running strong.
