They did a great job

@@DavesMotorCarsbroo the new zx6r 2024 has launch control?

@@nanocalderon1997 no it has traction control though if its like the older 2023, but there is nothing that will slip the clutch for you as that is completely manual. It will prevent the front wheel from lifting or spinning the rear though (I think any traction control does that) so in that regards its a near perfect launch, but for a true launch you still need to give throttle inputs while releasing the clutch (after that you can keep it full throttle)

@@jakegarrett8109 thanks and last quest. In the new zx6r the quick shifter is only up? Or up and down?

@@nanocalderon1997 They are only upshift. It has a slipper clutch so if you do slam down gears incorrectly and without using the clutch its smoother and shouldn't be as easy to loose traction and wreck. Also note that on any bike (within the last 100 years) you don't need to use the clutch for up or down, you only need it for taking off from first gear and coming to a complete stop. Motorcycle transmissions are continuously meshing sequential transmissions, unlike cars (where you need to use the clutch, with exceptions), motorcycle transmissions don't actually need to use the clutch if you do it properly. Notice how none of the quick shifters have a way to move the clutch? That's because they don't. They only blip the throttle for downshifts (which you can do with your wrist), or they can cut ignition for upshifts (which you can also do by closing the throttle with your hand). Since the ZX-6R is mechanical cable, they only have upshift (cutting ignition), otherwise they'd need a servo or something to move the throttle cable.

How long did it take to get, if I may ask? Thinking about ordering one myself.

thank you! i love it

I might have misspoke, still so little info on this bike

Its only upshift, its easier to cut power electronically than it is to increase (blip throttle) when its cable throttle type. It does have a slipper clutch though so if you mess up manually blipping when downshifting without clutch its not a big deal. I've driven for over a decade without using clutch (except to take off from first or come to a stop) on older bikes up through new stuff, the way these sequential continuously meshing transmissions work means the clutch is not really needed so long as you unload the gear load when upshifting and blip up to rev match when downshifting (which is all those sensors do, but you can do it with your wrist really easy).

A good rider don't need one

You can put one on from the dealer

@@TheRealKing1good rider doesn’t need one??? The ignorance is strong.

Bike is barely a day old lol give me some time, but it rides solid. Definitely partly skill but i get your point…

@@matthewwalsh2943 Suspension needs to be setup correctly. Its a good band-aid, and I do wish it came with one, but its a band-aid for other issues. I really wish they had a professional setup option at the dealership, because even though the new models top out at 150 mph (the gearing is too low for top speed, but nice for acceleration), and I do sometimes worry about it for those higher speeds in case you go over some tar snakes or lots of holes in the road in rapid succession. So far its been really stable, but I do think my suspension is WAY off (I'm the weight of a human twig, and it feels way too stiff and I don't think I'm close to using 80% of the shocks however I have custom fork socks/fork boots on it so I can't put a zip tie around them to really tell).

I was in your shoes for a while! Loved my 400

On the ZX-6R that opens the rider seat. It's the opposite of the ninja 400.

Thank you!

@@DavesMotorCars Did you get that from where you bought it, or did you apply it later yourself or used some service?

I agree!

I have a whole video of the TFT display!

The official color of Kawasaki Is green

It’s the slipper clutch system that helps with downshifts off the throttle without using the clutch. Thank you for watching! I’m trying to learn as much as I can quickly to put out videos, trying to be as accurate as I can be but the info is limited on these.

@@DavesMotorCars slipper clutch won't allow you clutchless downshifts, it'll just avoid locking the rear wheel when you shift down on higher revs, the gear change itself has to be with a clutch engaged so that the clutch can match the engine speed for a smoother gear shift. You might wanna clear this up with the dealership.

@@DavesMotorCars ​​⁠ correct. All zx6r lineup since the introduction of the 2019 and up with quickshifter are clutchless upshifting only. The technique you’re using is well known to clutchless downshifting/upshifting where you let off the throttle and blip it just as soon you do that, it disrupt the clutch plate and gears just enough to easily switch down the gear. The true quickshift and autoblip is control by the shifter module and drive by wire to cut engine at the right milliseconds to allow the gear to shift into place. Autoblip as the name implies, does engine revmatching for downshift to give that smooth gear transition. Slipper clutch is a technology to help ease in the abrupt clutch and gearing during shift and accidental shifting. This will prevent the rear wheel from abrupt wheel spin. ABS is to prevent wheel lockup, slipper clutch is to prevent wheel spin up. Don’t damage your gearing with improper clutchless downshifting. Good luck and welcome to the zx-gang!

@@TKLMotoVlogthank you for the reply and clearing that up. Lots of new tech im not used to!

@@TKLMotoVlog this is correct and should be the knowledge, I owned the 2021 zx6r, quickshifter (upshift only), you can do clutch-less downshift but this is with me letting off the throttle and downsifht + blip with my hand, at the same time, so it's not autoblip. If you need to downshift on zx6r simple answer; gotta do it the traditional way unless you learn how to shift without the clutch which is advanced skills and that's on a different topic.

Both look cool IMO and great bikes no doubt, but I read that the 2023 has a little more power by default/stock, as the 2024 was reduced a bit for emissions requirements, possibly 2023: 127 hp 52 torque vs 2024: 122 hp, 52 torque. Close enough though.

I find the analogue tachometer better to be honest. My last bike had a TFT screen and although at first it was a cool novelty, it wasn't as responsive as an analogue system (had a slight lag/delay) and was impossible to see in bright sunlight.

Was semi mad too that I could have has a newer year also... buuut, I'd rather have 6 more stock HP and less emissions holding her back lol. And by luck I got the 23. Eventually I'm going to do exhaust on it and tune, but for now and it's original year of warranty I'm keeping her stock. They run GREAT stock, only need a tune to race people and hit top speeds, for what I do, this bike is PERFECT the way it is out of showroom for me

It’s aggressive for sure but I’ve been commuting on sport bikes for a while. 400 was more comfortable but this isn’t too bad IMO. Just gotta get used to it, definitely needs a new seat though.

Will keep it in sport after 600 mile break in and oil change! Trying to keep it tame right now haha

In europe we can finally buy cuz of euro5emissions

I have not done this but I’ve been quick shifting without issue

@@DavesMotorCars I thought the same, I believe is because the slip clutch. They did an amazing thing there. Feels softer

Will definitely look into this on my next ride!! Thank you

I know bro,the regrets :(

@eathenedwardemon1989 lol, funny, I actually prefer the 23' over the 24' I just really like the new headlight and air ram intake design. Really wish I had the updated suspension and brembo brakes on my 23' as I'd feel alot better about my purchase😂

Me too!! Thanks!!

I’ll get some replacement bolts, but yes I removed the reflectors

Yeah my shins get a lot of heat, more than any of my other bikes but I’m also riding in 100+ weather, on cooler days it’s not bad.

Could probably loop a metal cord around somewhere and theough the helmet strap ring but other than that no

thank you!

Do it. YOLO

My dealer told me under 6k for 600 miles, but i did more like 8k hahah.

Was it the same on a 2021?

Yeah I misspoke, it’s still cable and not drive by wire.

End August launch in India..

Got lucky, went in same day they were delivered. Put a deposit 2 days later. Rates suck ass even with 800+ credit

Thank you!!

I re-used some bolts from the exhaust on the front fender! All is good now.

dude same! going from ‘23 400 to this. super stoked, looks awesome

thats a big jump tbh, triple the HP, you better ride it at low rpms for the first year because once you go above 10k it will pull unlike anything you expirienced this far, especially with no IMU to keep you safe.

I outgrew mine a while ago too but for commuting and the price it worked well. I’d never go back though the ZX6R is perfect.

@@iNFiN3 Probably sooner than that. I had a 250cc making 15 HP for about half my life, but after about 1500 miles I started opening up the ZX-6R (got about 2k miles in 2 months with it), and its feeling slow now since I've gotten used to it (by slow, I mean at the top end a 1000cc would be nice, but realistic for street its PROBABLY good it tops out at 150 mph...) The 60 to 120 time is about 7 seconds, and with 15t/43t it basically tops out at 150 mph GPS (160 will be indicated on dash at what looks like 16k rpm but I've seen 162 on the dash before so it must be like 15.9k rpm at 150.3 mph true GPS speed). That said, you have to be VERY selective where you open it up, because you can't just go doing that anywhere, some deer is going to run in front or some car is going to pull out of nowhere. The limit will be however fast you can slow down to a stop (and how long it takes for a deer to get to the road sprinting from the trees)

I will note, I have the 2023 model with 2 power modes, and 3 traction control modes. The first 1200 miles I was very thankful for low power mode helping ease me into it (and I rarely exceeded 4k rpm in 6th gear which is like 40 mph since that's the break in period for the first 400-600 miles). Also today it was raining, so I actually used the traction control mode and you can tell when it kicks in (its very nice and smooth, not that wheel spin is a big deal if you're used to off-road play, but its nice so it keeps it tame and settles it down on rainy wet roads if you give it a touch too much throttle or shift slightly wrong, makes it much more forgiving)

yes, i want it too, I thnik u can see the gps on the tft, but I doesnt shure...

Will be making a video as soon as I can, from what I know I think you can get GPS on the bike screen but i heard it very finicky to use.

New model years come out the year before. Just like cars.

I guess I never looked there, now I feel dumb lol

I misspoke for downshifts

@DavesMotorCars so NO clutches downshifting?

No @@KevinStewart7

@@CyberGasty which in my opinion is just ridiculous for a 2024 sports bike ! A lot of sports bikes have auto blipper thesedays.

Mine only has A B and default settings. Also, shift light settings.

Yes I revised in the description

They are always made in Japan. Some parts obviously come from China and Indonesia.

For a cable throttle it’s really smooth on this bike, way better than my cable ninja 400

Throttle by wire is so overrated

Super smooth, everything is so much better than the 400.

The 2023 is pretty responsive, and I mean that in every way possible. Almost bucked me off while I was adjusting my backpack (one hand on the bars, when it accelerated more than I did pulling my throttle hand back which meant it it turned right leaning left, then I bounced back and forth cutting the throttle on and off getting bucked around because I wasn't gripping the tank enough), its got more torque than small bikes and inline 4 engines have a lot of engine braking, so it will be jerky if you are not smooth on the throttle. At very low throttle (just as its engaging) is when its the worst, and I was probably bouncing between 0 and 5% throttle. It doesn't take long to get used to, and its not very bad, it just isn't like a 250 where you can whack the throttle open and nothing happens, then close the throttle and barely anything happens. Also the cables from the dealership they had adjusted to spec but the 4mm of twist slop almost caused me to wipe out, I readjusted to about 2mm wiggle which helped a lot (I'm used to very tight throttles). It certainly has a lot more torque than small engines, but its really not a big deal, just slowly roll on the power (unless you're doing wheelies or something)

@@jakegarrett8109 thanks for the input, yeah, on/off throttle which u referred to as the first 5% is what I care about a lot. On my 400, I would never go to first gear for tight turns cuz when I want to get back on the throttle while leaned over, unless I feather the clutch, it is not smooth and that's when u wanna be as smooth as possible. My 23 Ducati Monster does not have this issue, so I can easily go to first and get on throttle while leaning over.

yes

Essentially

Thank you gentleman🫡 thou shall be learning from a manual first like originally planned

@@avontewilliams1902 these bikes also still shift regularly as well

@@DavesMotorCars oh I’m learning a lot here

i did eventually yes

What bolt did you use? ​@@DavesMotorCars

If you do track or highwaypulls maybe. Undeniably the ZX6R is a better bike but a 600's are just boring on the road. Ok it can go fast and stuff but it's more fun to ACTUALLY hit the revlimiter and use the gearbox in daily use, rather than having to find a good road to actually get out of 1st and 2nd for once.

@@Nickvdb93 i never found a 600 that’s boring.

You are correct

He took off the reflector and is replacing it with a bolt.

Reflectors, will be replaced. Fender is still very secure.

I was too, had no idea these were out yet. Was considering the RS660 as well

@@DavesMotorCars ouuu the RS is soo sexy . That’s a hard decision to me either one you choose would’ve been a good choice the RS660 is super reliable

Yes they dropped the RPM’s and HP due to emissions

@@DavesMotorCars You can retune it correct??? Also did you get this bike from a dealer ?

@@blizzthebikeof course you can prolly one of the must do things to a 636 from dealer after break in

@@DavesMotorCars thanks for confirming. Does suck tho unfortunately. At least it looks better then the previous tho

Could just get the 2023 model. Unfortunately its geared a little slow (I only saw 150.3 mph GPS at roughly 16k rpm 6th gear with indicated 160 on the dash), but it severely cuts power after 14.5k rpm. In an ideal world, I believe you'd want to go with 18 tooth front instead of 15 tooth for absolute top speed (I think older ones did 160 mph GPS, which according to my calculations is 16t front which perfectly matches the specs), however, its peak power is at 13,500 rpm which if you put a 18t/43t sprocket setup that would be perfect for 160 at that speed and might go a couple mph faster (though first gear would go up to like 97 mph which is ridiculous and you would loose acceleration)

you can see the conventional cables in the video, not ride by wire.

@@KB-yj5xp well thats dissapointing considering they gave it to the zx4r

@@iNFiN3 even the most entry level bikes have ride by wire these days, this sucks but it is what it is, still a great deal tbh.

It does yes I was mistaken

Seat is pretty hard, will probably look into a new one. The seating position though isn’t too bad

do it. Trade the 400. or have both!

@@vincentmamotos9937 yea that’s what i’m also considering cause insurance on the 400 is so cheap just need to save up till then
