    Copied from the rule book.
    06/07 Yamaha R6’s must used a tank guard of some sort on the sections that extend past the frame rail on either side.. The guard must be approved by tech.

    The 08+ still stick's out over the frame better to have something IMO.

    Yep. We absolutely require them for 06/07 - but suggest them for the newer ones as well.
