So, you want to build a MotoAmerica Supersport racebike? Let Nolan Lamkin be your guide. Photo by Brian J. Nelson.

Remember when you learned about the concept of “sharing” in kindergarten? Well, Supersport rider Nolan Lamkin has never forgotten that important life lesson. He’s one of the most generous riders in the MotoAmerica paddock, in fact.

Lamkin is sharing his complete build sheet for the Yamaha YZF-R6 that he will race in this year’s MotoAmerica Supersport Championship. He includes a parts list, detailed photos, and even direct links to most of the components that make up his 2021 race bike, so you can study the list and photos, click on the links, and get all the stuff you need for your own build.
