'97-'07 YZF600R with Keihin CVK36 Down-draft Carbs
This was probably the most popular of the YZF series for the US market. Also called a Thundercat in other markets. This was the second generation replacement for the very popular FZR600R ending it's run in '99. The YZF600R uses a set of Keihin CVK36 Down-draft carbs similar to many of the Kawasaki Ninja's. This version has the added heater system that attaches to the radiator, a throttle position sensor, and a new type of top cap. They can be hard to get right if someone mixes up OE with aftermarket or jet kit parts. I can rebuild these for you very inexpensivly and get this screaming little sportbike back on point!
Note: Starting in '74 Yamaha started year coding bikes in the last letter used in the name. You may see this code on your bikes paperwork or in a parts list or catalog. I leave this off as it is redundant if you are showing the year anyway. There is a chart below to find your year code.
Below is a set of '97-'07 YZF600R 4TV Keihin CVKD36
carbs. These were the same tuning
'95-'96 other than the California version.
