K&N High-Flow Air Filter | Yamaha YZF-R6 (YA-6006)

The YA-6006 is the dedicated performance intake upgrade for the "third generation" Yamaha R6. This specific model year (2006–2007) introduced the radical high-revving engine with YCC-T (Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle). The YA-6006 is engineered to meet the extreme air demands of an engine that screams to a 17,500 RPM redline.

Key Features

• High-RPM Airflow: Designed to provide up to 50% more airflow than the stock paper filter. This ensures the engine isn't "choked" as it reaches peak horsepower at the top of the rev range.

   

• Premium Filtration: Features K&N’s signature multi-layered oiled cotton gauze media. It provides world-class engine protection by trapping 99% of contaminants while maintaining high velocity into the velocity stacks.

   

• Washable & Reusable: A "Lifetime" performance mod. You can clean, re-oil, and reinstall this filter indefinitely. It typically only requires servicing every 80,000 km (50,000 miles) depending on riding conditions.

Why Choose K&N for your 2006–2007 R6?

This generation of R6 was a game-changer for middleweight supersports. Because it relies so heavily on high-RPM breathing, the YA-6006 is a vital upgrade for riders who want to eliminate the slight intake lag found with OEM paper filters. It also provides that intoxicating intake howl as the YCC-T opens the throttle butterflies wide, making the bike feel more alive on the track or the street.
