How about adding the 650R to this list? It was started it 2005 and the bike came out in 2006. What do you think?

exxes · 04-15-2008

just bought a 98 zx6r but then had to go back to the shop the signal relay keeps blowing checked all the wiring its good any other things that i should check as well??

crash_override · 04-16-2008

I think it all depends on how you ride it... i have the 750 and am getting between 100-120 miles a tank. if i ride the freeways, i get less, if i'm just out cruising around town, i get more.

playalindaskate · 04-17-2008

Semperfi · 04-18-2008

I just got mine and haven't calculated it to the exact MPG, but I think it's about 45. I know it was a little less than the 2007 500R that I had.

when i was shopping for insurance, the basic liability coverage was about $130/year, and full coverage was around $2600/year. I'm 20 with a clean driving record and have taken MSF. Hope this helps

Do any other models of ninjas have the same front brake rotors as the 98 99 zx9r ninja, need to get hold of some. Any help greatly appreciated

Hi All!

I have not logged on for quite some time. Once I got the bike on the road, I just rode and rode and rode…

For those of you with `85 - `88 (and maybe later) ZX600s with the pneumatic preload rear shock, you may be interested in this low(er) cost shock swap. I could not find a good working example of a stock shock (struck out 3x) and did not feel like dropping $800+ on an aftermarket unit. After a whole bunch of screwing around and digging through salvage bins, I came up with the following:

I found a Yami `04 FZ6 Fazer stock shock which has the right length, OA dia., stroke, and upper attachment. But the lower attachment is not correct. So, I took a stock ZX600 shock and removed (ground) the clevis off the rod end. I had a machinist remove the lower attachment off the Yami shock, make/install a new mounting adapter and then bolted the clevis to that adapter. The Yami has preload adjustment only; no damping.

I don’t know if the stock shock can be removed with out taking out the swing arm, but I wanted to inspect/clean/lube my swing arm & dog bone anyway. The “new” shock fits quite nicely and only just kisses the bottom of the battery box. I set the preload to 1, reassembled the rear and off I went.

If you weigh less than 220#, you will not be happy with the stock Yami spring; way too stiff. And I would strongly suggest to anyone who repeats this swap to source a softer spring so that you can retain some adjustment in the preload. I have to keep the front forks at setting 3 to “match” the rear and this makes street ridding a little uncomfortable. But, man, it’s nice to go over each bump only once!

I just bought a ZX 6E. It starts fine cold but once it warms up and i shut it off than i have to start it full throttle and hold it there till it revs up. It will idle for a few seconds before it starts loading up. I've changed the plugs, seafoam in the gas and changed the oil. The guy i bought it off of cleaned the carbs. When riding if i keep the rpms up it runs smooth. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Does anyone know where I can find affordable painted plastics for a 99 Zx9r?

yorkshireboy73 · 05-03-2008

i want to fit a turbo to my zx6 2001, does anybody know where and how much

jerzmatic · 05-15-2008

Greetings All !!!

I just joined and very excited to be here with you all.

I just bought a new 08' ZZR 600 fresh out of the crate. *stoked*

Does anyone know of a kit that does away with the stock license plate holder/turn signal molding?

I'd like the end result to be my brake light to double as a turn signal.

Sorry if i'm not being more descriptive....

When I first bought my bike used, it was quite reliant on the Choke and having to have it get up to a warmer than average temp to run smooth. This spring I had the Carbs redone + a New battery. Now she runs great. I'm not a mechanic or I would have done it myself, but Id suggest bringing her in for a Spring Tune up and have them check your carbs? Im a noob, but it sounds like its starving? could be bad fuel/air mixture..? If he was the last to work on the carbs, it might have something to do with his rebuild..

When I was riding home one day, i saw a Dude with a FULL LED tail light kit. Basically a Full Board of LEDS about the same size as the Brake Lights on the back of my ZX-6e '97. Animated Arrows for Turn Signals + ALL LED's Solid for Braking... Honestly, it was way too hard to tell if he was using his turn signals... Not sure what bike he was riding.. wish I knew more to help you out.

I have been told that Basically, it would become the equivalent of a Liter bike. Save yourself the time and money and get a Zx-14 or Busa. Honestly, 600's are fast enough

Just change your sprockets for more torque and get a Jet Kit for a few more hp, and you're Laughin!

fitbmxseries1 · 05-19-2008

or buy some NOS the bottle is always there for you when you need it!

kits usualy start at 2500$ for a turbo. then youd probably need another grand or two to get it running properly. then you can keep up with stock liter bike!
