The Yamaha YZF-R6 motorcycle combines power and handling in the middleweight super sport class. The 2008 through 2016 models are super sport bikes popular in the United States and Europe, especially in Spain. These bikes hold their value well as there is a huge demand for used R6 models.
Replacement air filter for Yamaha YZF R6 Sport Bike

There are three clips on the air filter that will slide into place into the air filter cavity in the air box. Our
K&N air filter will only fit into the air box one way. Do not remove the air filter o-ring in the air box. Once you apply pressure, the
K&N motorcycle air filter will snap into place. Use the stock screws to secure the K&N air filter to the air box. The center screw on the air box lid holds the air box lid and air filter into place.
K&N’s YA-6008 is covered by K&N’s famous Million Mile Limited Warranty and will be the last air filter your Yamaha will ever need.
For 2008 to 2016 Yamaha YZF-R6 motorcycles used only in pavement racing environments, K&N offers its two-ply cotton media replacement air filter, part number
YA-6008R for less restriction and increased horsepower and acceleration.
To be successful in racing, it must first start with the heart. Jerrod Hull’s
heart led him to racing BMX bicycles at the age of six, and he has never looked
back. What started at a tender age has led Jerrod to become a dominant force
each and every time he hits the track today with his own sprint car operation.
Jerrod Hull bleeds black and white checkered blood.
Hull first purchased a sprint car from legendary Hall of Famer Sammy Swindell.
Early success in the sport fueled the passion as Jerrod quickly found his niche
in racing. Success has come easy at times, but there have been difficult times
as well. Never once has Jerrod Hull Motorsports had the capabilities of big
dollar sponsorship. It has been Jerrod’s determination to run the front, but at
the same time, he has carried a philosophy to know when to call it a good run
and end a night early.
“I catch a lot of grief sometimes when I pull in (to the pits or infield) when
the car isn’t handling right,” explains Hull. “I take it in stride because
without some of the funding as these other guys have, I have to make things last
a little longer. We don’t necessarily have the top-level equipment in our
program; we have the best equipment that will last while still being
competitive. If I can load up the car at the end of the night in one piece and
have to make a small repair versus blowing a motor, I am happy.”
There have been many tracks across the country where Hull has found success over
the years, but only one stands out in everyone’s mind, and that is Morgan County
Speedway in Jacksonville, Illinois. Hull won his first and only track
championship in 1997 at the venue. His philosophy of running an “outlaw-type”
schedule throughout the Midwest has kept him from repeating that performance.
Jerrod wins 41 percent of the time he races at Morgan County Speedway, with an
astonishing 90 percent rate of 5th place or better over his career.
Hull has won 12 events at nine different racing venues making for an already extraordinary 2009 season.
“Jacksonville has always been a great place for me to race. It was one of
the first places we went when we first got started, and I quickly fell in love
with the track and the fans, says Hull. “Winning the Herb Barlow race there
twice in my career has got to be one of my biggest highlights personally. It’s
an annual race that a lot of guys want to win in this area, and I have been
blessed to win it two times. I hope for a couple more before I am done.”
Hull is the all-time winningest driver with not just one, but two sanctioning
bodies; the Midwest All Star Series and the Sprint Invader Association. He is
also the only champion the Midwest All Star Series has ever had taking
championships in 2007, 2008, and positioned to claim the title in 2009
considering his substantial lead in the points.
The 2009 season started out with a bang. But before we can begin talking about
2009, we must reflect on how the 2008 season ended for the Sikeston, Missouri
hot-shoe. In early October at the Queen’s Royale, one of the area’s biggest
events at Farmington, Missouri, Hull utilized a brand new chassis and instantly
shot to the lead in his heat race. He was leading the field by more than a
half-track when disaster struck. A faulty fuel line pumped fuel into the cockpit
soaking Hull’s driver suit, which quickly ignited.
He brought the car to an abrupt halt and made an attempt to get out of the
emblazed sprinter. While trying to alight, he twisted his leg and fell to the
ground. The car was out of gear, causing it to roll over part of Hull’s leg.
Injuries sustained included minor burns, a torn ACL, torn MCL, and a torn
meniscus, which put him on the shelf for the remainder of the year. He was
particularly dismayed to miss the trip to the Short Track Nationals, as well as
his annual trip to Florida Speed week.
The rebound would begin in the first event of the 2009 season. At a USCS event
in Malden, Missouri, Hull picked up where he left off, ahead of the pack in his
heat race. With just two laps left in a dominating performance, Hull brought his
sprint car to a stop in the infield, concerned about motor issues. Once back
into the pits, the diagnosis was a broken setscrew, which was quickly remedied,
and Hull was sent out for the night’s feature event starting in 22nd position.
He methodically passed each car on his way to the lead, and as the laps wound
down, he lapped the field up to 9th position for the win.
The relationship with Hull and his crew chief Scott Bonar has been well
documented, but one win has always alluded the duo; a victory together at St.
Francois County Raceway in Farmington, Missouri. That all came to an end in a
very emotional evening. Just days before the 2009 event, a close friend of the
team passed away. Hull rose to the occasion, pulled off the win selflessly, and
dedicated the win to their fallen friend.
To date, Hull has won 12 events at nine different venues making for an already
extraordinary season. Recently, Hull led the charge in two exciting events in
Tennessee with the Midwest All Star Series. Taking a bit of revenge on the state
from the 2008 season, he came out of the weekend further ahead in the series
points than anticipated. The weekend would set the tone for an exciting event at
Paragon Speedway in Paragon, Indiana. In a field stacked with higher financed,
former World of Outlaw travelers and bigger horse powered power plants, Hull
commanded the night’s event leading the competition to the checkered flag.
Hull is quick to give the credit for the success of the 2009 campaign to God,
his crew, and his newly developed product support program. In the offseason,
Hull takes time to assess product supporter expectations to be sure he is
meeting them all. K&N filters was one of the biggest additions to the program
this year, bringing with them the best air filters and oil filters on the
market. Hull connected with K&N thanks in part to hiring long time supporter and
marketing advisor Robert Cortum, of Got Dirt Racing Promotions, who negotiated
the partnership.
“I have personally seen through my own business how Jerrod Hull shares the
benefits of partnering with his team,” commented Cortum. Without my involvement with Jerrod Hull Motorsports, I
would not be where I am today.”
“The best thing I can do for my sponsors, supporters, and advertisers is to give
them back more than they expect,” added Hull. “If they just expect their name on
the wing, I am going to show people the product benefits. We are always
looking for the opportunity to under-promise and over-deliver. The addition of
K&N Filters to our program this year has made a world of difference. We would
not have had as much success without their support.”
Sprint car driver Johnny Herrera was crowned track champion at Knoxville Raceway in central Iowa. This was the second track championship
in Knoxville for the Albuquerque, New Mexico racer. Herrera’s first Knoxville Raceway track championship was in 1995.
Johnny Herrera was crowned the 2009 Knoxville Raceway Champion in the Larry Woodward 2W after dominating the weekly 410 sprint car program
“It’s been 14 years since I competed weekly at Knoxville,” said Herrera. “It felt great to win and accomplish the goal we set for ourselves.” Herrera teamed up with car owners Larry and Lori Woodward
at the beginning of the 2009 season to run the weekly 410 sprint car program at Knoxville.
Johnny Herrera won his second track championship at Knoxville Raceway in Iowa after teaming up with Larry Woodward Racing
Herrera had enough points by the final race night of the season to seal the championship after the heat race in the Larry Woodward 2W sprint car with K&N products. “To say Johnny dominated the season would be an understatement,” said Larry Woodward . “It took a lot of hard work and dedication by Johnny and his crew chief Troy Renfro to be consistent at the track.”
Herrera has raced for 25 years. He drove in the World of Outlaws and took Rookie of the Year Honors in the 1986 series. “My biggest victory was the $50,000 to win 1996 King’s Royal at Eldora Speedway,” said Herrera. “It was amazing because my top wing collapsed during the race but we managed to beat everyone else.” Herrera has more than 100
overall wins to his credit and has won at Knoxville on more than ten occasions. He is also a 12-lap record holder at the track.
“I’ve used K&N my entire career,” said Herrera. “K&N filters works well on the track, give me extra filtration and are easy to maintain. Winning and K&N go together perfectly.”
Herrera will next race at Eldora Speedway in Ohio in a World of Outlaws event.
Michelle DiSalvo is a long way from her home in Manteca, California. She is on the road for the European Motorcycle Union (UEM) Supermoto Championship Series.
A thunderstorm stops riders in round three of the UEM Supermoto Championship Series in Latina, Italy
DiSalvo travelled from Belgium to the third round of the series in Latina, Italy. “The trip to Latina was hot and extensive,” said DiSalvo. “The track is located about 60 miles south of Rome on the western coast of Italy. Our large truck was older and limited to speeds of up to 60 mph.” The race team had to travel slowly through the mountains until they faced an obstacle at the Italian border.
RMZ 450 Suzuki ready to ride with K&N products in Round 4 of the UEM Supermoto Championship Series in Pas de la Casa, Andorra
K&N supported Manteca, California team waits in the pits for Round 3 of the UEM Supermoto Championship Series about 60 miles south of Rome, Italy
“In order to enter Italy, we had to drive through a 12 mile tunnel,” she said. “The border police told us our truck was too old and therefore the emissions were too great to enter the tunnel. Fortunately, the police changed their minds and let us through.” If the team had to go to another crossing, they would not have made the race at the Italian Track II Sagittario in Latina.
DiSalvo and her crew fortunately made it in time for the technical control portion of the series. “It was hot and humid, but I made it to my second practice session in my RMZ 450 Suzuki with K&N products,” she said. “The dirt looked easy but the jumps made me feel like I was hitting a wall.”
DiSalvo rode over bumps and berms through the grass and dirt track. “I went out for my qualifying race and avoided a huge pileup in the first mound of earth,” she said. “I went through a large cloud of dust and debris to finish the course in 17th place.”
The next day riders dealt with the problems and delays a huge thunderstorm brings to a race track. “I went from wet grass to wet dirt and almost missed the first jump,” said DiSalvo. “I did manage to take 2 more seconds off my best lap time.” Currently DiSalvo is 15th overall in the UEM
Supermoto championship standings.
DiSalvo's motorcycles are equipped with K&N air filters, product number
YA-2506XD and K&N oil filters, product number
KN-207.
Round 4 of the UEM Supermoto Championship Series resumes in Pas de la Casa, Andorra September 19 and 20.
Suzuki’s GSX-R1000 first hit the streets in 2001 and took the world by surprise. Since that time, Suzuki’s flagship GSX-R model has received a number of enhancements. However, for the first time in eight years, the GSX-R1000 is truly all-new. No component was ignored when designing a new GSX-R1000. Most notably, Suzuki gave its liter bike an all new engine, suspension, and ergonomics.
K&N purpose built, race specific air filter SU-1009R for 2009 to 2016 Suzuki GSX-R1000 motorcycles.
Before the redesign, the GSX-R1000 was already a potent race-ready street machine. Now things are really going to heat up in the 1000cc class. To help the GSX-R1000 further excel on the track, K&N designed a new race specific air filter (SU-1009R) designed to increase performance in 2009 to 2016 Suzuki GSX-R1000 models.
K&N’s line of race specific sportbike air filters are designed for asphalt racing only. Part number SU-1009R is very different from its stock replacement air filter counter part (SU-1009). SU-1009R incorporates two-ply cotton media in a special pleat pattern to be less restrictive, providing extra airflow. As a result K&N racing air filter SU-1009R increases horsepower and acceleration for the racetrack.
K&N air filters are washable and reusable. This air filter does not come pre-oiled and must be oiled prior to installation. Use the included oil pillow pack and follow the oiling instructions. SU-1009R will fit directly inside your OE air box assembly. No cutting or fitting modifications are required to install SU-1009R but fuel management modifications will be necessary to obtain optimum performance.
K&N’s SU-1009R is warranted against defective workmanship for one year after the date of purchase with no mileage limitation. This K&N air filter is designed for asphalt racing only. It is not intended for dirt track, off-road or highway use.
For 2009 to 2016 Suzuki GSX-R1000 motorcycles used in normal non-racing environments, K&N recommends its four layer OE replacement air filter, part number SU-1009 for excellent engine protection and air flow.
The K&N SU-1009R air filter fits the following Suzuki bikes:
