Yamaha's book for the 2002 YZF-R6 is LIT-11616-R6-02, shared with the 2000 and 2001 machines. The 2002 bike carries model code YZFR600P, the last of the three to sit under this part number.
Because the three seasons are documented together, differences between them appear in the text rather than in separate volumes — helpful if a previous owner has mixed components across years, which happens often enough on these bikes.
What is covered
- Periodic maintenance and adjustment intervals
- Engine removal, teardown, inspection and reassembly
- Carburetion, cooling and lubrication
- Chassis, suspension and brakes
- Electrical diagnosis with wiring diagrams
All specifications and torque values are as Yamaha published them for these machines. The carburetor settings alone justify keeping the factory book nearby, since they are the first thing lost when a bike has passed through several owners and a few sets of aftermarket parts.
