    Default Yamaha r6 2003 problem

    I have a big problem with my bike last season my bike was starting running on 3 cylinder first i thought it was my spark plug's my bike had ngk iridium with only 4000 km,i search on web what are the common problems with r6 2003 and i found the coils problem i check the coils they are all mitsubishi i checked them and they seems fine i replace the spark plugs with normal ngk and my bike is running in in 4 once again but i have a great loose of power in low rpms and high rpms i can't evem past 230 km/h can't pass 13.000 rpm very hard.On one coils i found primary coil resistance 0.17 in manual is .23-.32 and other problem my bike was starting back fire when i rev at any rpm even when i'm changing gear.
    I have a mivv gp,K&N air filter,new clutch.

    There was a recall on those coils...a quick google search brought up a few posts saying they are no longer covered for free though...May want to call a local dealer and give them your vin...see if can get some free coils.

    i use normal plugs but i also change them every 6-7k miles because of how hard i ride. if 1 of the coils is out of spec then theyre arent fine. id change them

    you dont need to check them when theyre warm. you have bad coils, just replace them
