I just got a 88 Ninja that I am trying to restore. The problem is now that I got it home and replaced the clutch cable it will not shift or engage the clutch. Anybody know of any common problems with the clutches on the 88's?

I have a 1990 600C and live on Padre Island in south Texas- 20-50 is perfect if you live in a southern climate. If you live up north, you should use 10-40---- if you live way up north like NY or Minn, you need 10-30

Aight yall, I am having a problem, I have a buddy who owns a 2005 R6 and I smoke him in the quarter, but he can pop his up to a wheelie in 3rd, I can barely do on in 2nd. What can I do to get a little bit more pep in my step. I have the Muzzy pipe, PC3, K&N filter, royal purple oil, dropped 1" in the front and 2" in the rear. Still can't get that thing up. Help me out peeps.........

Army_of_Ninja · 10-24-2006

well if your really want to get it up easier i'd suggest some sprocket changes. The R6 is a wheelie beast cause of where its powerband is from what i've been told anyway. What speeds are you trying to pop your front end up in 2nd? My bike does it just fine in 2nd if i run her up to 9/10k then feather the throttle actually scared me the other day thought i was going to loop it. lol

*this was at about 40 mph no mods done to bike except exhaust.*

Sky1ine10 · 10-24-2006

its around 35-45 mph but I still can't do it, maybe if i bring it up to like 13 or 14, but I don't wanna crap me **** out already. I am fixin to go 1 down front, and 3 up rear, so that will make a hell of a difference, I can pop it up in first and ride it to third but It is hard to get it up in second. I dunno, maybe the sprocket change will be my solution, but still it is the fact of the matter. Thanks Ninja

Sky1ine10 · 10-24-2006

Well, chrome queen, I paid 7,799 for my 06 ZX636 so I now the dealer can do better than that, keep workin them, and if need be, I will send them my sales reciept.

joshshorty12 · 10-25-2006

I'm no expert on this, but are you talking power-wheelies or clutch wheelies? If you're talking power-wheelies, I know where you're coming from, but I think it's normal - I still haven't got the wheel up in 2nd from power alone. I highly suspect your friend is using the clutch, as I find it very hard to believe that ANY 600 cc bike can power wheelie in 3rd.

If you ARE clutching it in 2nd and it won't come up... I wouldn't know how to help you... except for suggesting you move up to a liter bike

Zoltan · 10-29-2006

Anybody has any ideas about how I can make a full exhaust system out of a Muzzy slip on......?I have a slip on the bike now..........somebody told me that I have to buy a complete new full system because if I want to buy the rest of the parts will not fit the slip on.....is that true.......?.........let me know if you have any info about this.Thanks

Rhyl · 10-29-2006

Hi guy's

Just wanted to know if anyone out there has a repair manual for the above model bike.
Specifically looking for info (diagram) on the radiator and thermostat, as my bikes running hot and I may need to change the thermostat.

I just don't want to get half way through this job to find out it's bigger than I thought.

newbie101 · 11-24-2006

hey guys im interested in getting a zzr 600. this wil be my first bike and would like to know everything possible about it. including 1/4 mile times, top speed, and how the carbs compare to FI. thanks guys!!

StylinP · 11-25-2006

Finally some pics with me on the bike!

ervins · 11-27-2006

ZZR600 is the older model ZX-6R prior to 2003. It is a good bike and fast...If you have a good head on your shoulder you will be fine. If you are young and have any stupid tendencies you may get bit by its power. I would suggest even older 600s like Honda F2/ F3 or older ZXs...As far as all the speeds and feeds you want...It is not the fastest 600 and if that is what you think makes the bike then the ZZR is not the bike for you. Almost every bike is faster than almost most cars that is all you need to know. Not once did I ever care to know how fast my bike is...All I know is I could take every car from the start and take off pretty fast when I was with my friends. One thing that bike has is definitely good gas mileage. I do not know how old you are, how tall, or how heavy you are but believe me that bike is more than you will need for quite a while. If you are looking for faster I warn you to be very careful as speed kill and hurts. I know because I have currently experienced it. Welcome to the forum and good luck...Thmaster! He owns a ZZR600 and will now school you on it's pros and cons. There are a bunch of other ZZR riders who will chime in.

My bike was FI and it had worse gas mileage than Thmaster's bike...He has a ZZR600. As far as the R6S which is just the old R6 propr tp this years new R6 it is way faster. According to some people it is not as easy to ride as the ZZR. Then again some of my friends who have/ had R6 said that my bike was alot tougher to ride. Matter of preferrence really.

newbie101 · 11-30-2006

ok well my real question about the carbs. is how doe sit compare. like when i think of a bike being carbed. it seems like it would sound like a 4-wheeler, and i want that real loud high pitched zoom zoom sound of a street bike. so i guess im asking if it sounds or drives any different because its carburated??

04 R1 WV · 11-30-2006

Hiya all,

Due to an unfortunate accident, I have a question. What year/ models Frame will interchange with an 05 zx-6? please point me in the right direction. thanks

Kevorkian · 12-11-2006

I am very new at riding, as well to the forums. I just bought a ZZR600 and it is really nice, fun too.

I did do a bit of reading before hand, from what I read the carbs have a bit harder start, but once warmed up it performs just like it was fuel injected.
