my favorite solution to the oil filter draining is a paper towel roll cut right up the middle - fits just perfect and works everytime :)

Love your videos! You taught me so much on how to do some basic work and also adding a slip on to my 24’ zx6r! This is my first super sport and was wondering if you plan on making a video on how to do a coolant flush?

@bikesandbangs 2 ай бұрын

Well Kawasaki recommends the first coolant flush and change at 22,800 miles. It's going to be awhile before I have that many miles on mine. How many miles do you have on yours?

@footballa57 Ай бұрын

My first oild change was at 600miles... from there itll be at 5k, 10k, 15k, etc... but thats just me. Im sure you cant go wrong with doing it at 7600miles. Great video!!!

Paper plate works awsome to funnel things out. Stick it under the oem plastic lip and youll leak zero oil.

Have you owned any other supersports in the past? How does this compare? Would love a video on comparing the zx6r with other bikes! Great video, like all the other ones

@bikesandbangs 3 ай бұрын

Yeah this is my 63rd bike. Owned pry 15 super sports and then used to work at a dealership so would ride all kinds of super sports through them. Every brand, every model. This is just one of the best middleweights you could possibly buy. So refined and the zx6r has been around for over 20 years. It is perfected in my opinion

@theprodigal7143 Ай бұрын

Hi, what style break in did you do, and how did the oil look? I'm doing "as you normally would ride" and I have 400 miles on it. I've read some peeps will do oil change well before the 600mile. Seems you don't think that's necessary, which I'd be happy with cos I'd have to hide doing it at my apartment, lol. But still want to ask if I'd benefit if I did now and do the 600 at the dealer for warranty issues, thanks 😊

Hey lovely video! Any issues with the filter at high rev? Some say with K&N they fail at high rev with this line of bikes.

What do you use to clean this bike i got the same one and im scared to mess my paint up

@Brodesky 3 ай бұрын

Careful with using the nut on those filters to tighten them. The manufacturer says to hand tighten and only use the nut to loosen as they can be a point of failure. Otherwise, great video!

@williamfigueroa4964 4 ай бұрын

I've owned ZX6r for years, that's such a poor design from Kawasaki, the only complaint I have about ZX6r, it's messy, also with these bikes you want to fill that new oil filter up before install, they are known to sometimes start knocking when you don't prime it. Put a rag on the end of the exhaust to muzzle the noise a bit and listen to the engine, make sure you're good. Best of luck with your beautiful machine.

I’ve done 3 oil changes on my bike and I’ve never put the 3.3 Quarts the manual says. I have to put a little under 3 Quarts. The first oil change I did put the 3.3 quarts and the oil covered the whole sight glass even after warming up the bike and going for a ride. I had to get a syringe and extract oil to get it to the right level.

@FrauStormm 17 күн бұрын

did you add oil to the filter before putting it on??

@BustahNutt 16 күн бұрын

@@FrauStormm no. I never add oil to the filters

@FrauStormm 16 күн бұрын

@@BustahNutt well it is recommended. i changed my oil on saturday and put around 3.3 quarts in and my oil is just below the 2nd line after letting her warm up. not sure why your 2024 would be any different unless you’re not completely draining the oil when you change it. i almost forgot to unscrew the oil fill cap when i changed it and that definitely makes a difference.

@bikesandbangs 24 күн бұрын

You can get an ECU flash, or have it Dyno tuned. You won't do both. A flash is a tune, just more generic. A Dyno tune is to your specific machine. If you want a little more out of it, get a flash/tune, if ur content with it, then don't bother 👍
