Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R / Chain Tension Adjustment / No Stands Needed
Рет қаралды 1,911
Ай бұрынStart to finish process of how to adjust the chain on your motorcycle to the proper factory spec. Chains will need periodical adjusting to take the slack out of them, it's something you should check before every ride. This item of maintenance is super easy and should not be put off. The only tools you will need are a ratchet, a 32mm socket for the axle nut, two 12mm wrenches, and a needle nose pliers helps with the pin. Clean and lube the chain on your bike as well if needed. Comment with any questions, enjoy!

Your chain will have tight spots, you need to find the tightest spot on the chain, measure and adjust from there

Definitely have to tighten my chain after every wheelie practice session. Getting better with my clutch up now that i got ASV shorty levers. Still buidling the courage to practice the staggered wheelie. Sit down and stand ups are getting easier. Just working on constancy

I love all these vids, especially since I have the same exact bike haha Very helpful! It's just unfortunate that the '24 ZX-6R doesn't come with many tools under the seat as previous generations. I had a '17 ZX-6R before and it had all the tools to take off the rear wheel

Hey man, love and appreciate the videos. They help a ton. Was wondering if you’ve considered changing the chain and sprockets to gear for a higher top speed? Kinda looking at doing that myself but have no idea what I should look for on these 24 zx6rs. Thoughts?
@bikesandbangs Күн бұрын
Hey thanks man! Gearing for a higher top speed will make ur bike slower on acceleration, and I like the shorter gears for the kind of driving I do. All my zx10r's would do over 100mph in first gear and it was just impractical around town. Guess it depends what top speed ur looking for. I just enjoy the 600's for what they are, if you want to go blistering fast just get a zx10r

Why is your axle nut with the Carter pin on the exhaust side? Does it matter at all? Because mine came straight from the dealership with the axle nut on the chain and sprocket side.
@bikesandbangs Ай бұрын
Yours is backwards, the tech at the dealership must've put the axle bolt in the wrong way. Idk if it will make a difference but the nut should be on the exhaust side

Anyone know how to turn off traction control on the 24 Zx6r ? I can’t find it anywhere
@bikesandbangs Ай бұрын
Go to "rider" mode and then you can set the power to full and traction control off
@babi8709 Ай бұрын
I‘m 6‘4. Would you say the bike would fit well, or would I likely have problems because of my height?
@bikesandbangs Ай бұрын
Well it's tough to say. I'd go sit on one and see what you think. The only super sports that you won't feel as cramped on are probably a Hayabusa and ZX-14
@sephkateno1037 Ай бұрын
Are you supposed to measure the slack while riding the bike or when you're off the bike?

When it's off and is stationary 👍
