kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals - Page 5

The return springs are on the gearchange shaft...inside the inner drive casing.

Sounds to me you need to check your spark plugs

Head gasket gone...

A stationary armature of wire with a laminated iron core. usually used for charging the battery and providing power for things like lighting.

The ZX6, as with most four-cylinder motorcycle engines, is mounted transversely in the frame. When sitting on the bike, the cylinders are numbered 1-2-3-4 left to right.Firing Order: the firing order is 1-2-4-3. There is no distributor for the engine, as ignition is controlled electronically.Extra Ignition Information: there are only two ignition coils for this engine. Each coil has two spark plug wires. One coil fires cylinders 1 and 4. The other fires cylinders 2 and 3.Addtional details in this link: images/4/45/ZX600E13.PDFhope this helps (remember to rating this free answer).

they dont go from tank to carbs they go from tank to fuel tap then from fuel tap to carbs.

You can buy a lowering kit for a range of bikes, simply replacing the linkage on the lower of the suspension will reduce the rideheight by a preset determined amount check out ebay item 310343894620

Assuming the bike is yours to ride, you could, simply remove the ignition switch, unscrew the plastic lower and separate the switch from the lock and then turn the the centre of the switch with a screwdriver until the ignition lights up, when the lock is removed take it and have a new key cut.

What make and model alarm do you have also describe what happens when you pres the fob to disarm the alarm

Hi, you will need to get yourself a set of vachume gauges, you will connect 1of these gauges to each of the vachume pipes on each cylinder on the carb inles maniflold.you will run up the engine to normal temp having first replaced any worn spark plugs,it is not ness to get all of the hauges reading exactly the same while the engine is running, 1 increment indifferance would be allowed if you cannot reach exactly the same. The tickover screw addjusts number 3 carb, and the rest are fine tuned by the spring loaded screw between the other carbs, if they are close enough when you check them initialy, leave them alone and recheck at a later date, hope i have explaned to your satisfaction, not a job for the faint hearted, any probbs contact me and i will reply on earlyest convenience, paul

Just follow this instructions:

1 Unbolt the brake caliper from the front fork or rear swingarm, using a socket wrench. Use a 14-mm hex socket to unscrew the front caliper bolts, and a 6-mm Allen socket for the rear caliper.
2 Slide the caliper off the brake rotor. Suspend the caliper from the handlebars or frame, if needed, using a bungee cord.
3 Pull the hair clip pin out of the brake pad's retaining pin on the outside face of the caliper using a pair of needle-nose pliers. Push the retaining pin out of the back of the caliper with your finger.
4 Pull the brake pads and their spring clip out of the caliper. Retain the spring clip, and discard the brake pads.
5 Reinstall the brake calipers, following the reverse method of removal.

I hope this will help you. thanks

Just a shot in the dark here. I would check for (1) Fuel filter. (2) restriction in fuel line to the fuel pump. then, the fuel line from the pump to the carb's . Even though you have a filter there is a small screen in the main fuel inlet to the carbs. Next this could be a weak pump. As the fuel bowls fill up you have a supply of fuel to start and run for a few minutes, as you use that fuel the pump is not replenishing the fuel in the bowls, and you run out of fuel. As you sit still, fuel goes back in the carbs and she starts up. Look for a restriction or weak pump.

Pull the wire from the horn and check for voltage when you press the horn button. If you have voltage 12vdc. the horn is bad. Check to be sure there is a good ground to the frame and in the wiring. If you have two wires, one is a ground, one is hot from the button when pressed.

they only way is to cut the wires which is not recommended you can get the number of the top of the ignition and have one cut

The fix is going to cost more than the bike is worth. The shop labor will be at least $950. Parts cost is additional and 2 gaskets are $20 each, pistons are $40, rings are $30 per set, cylinder inserts are $72 each. That puts the parts cost around $625. That's around $1558 total. The repair is not for the home mechanic.

The Ninja has a fuel pump circuit, have you checked the relay? This is usually the problem, the connector melts or breaks, as you can see here in this picture...also check your fuses. Hope this helps.

Most yoshimura exhausts have a large circlip holding in the baffle, some have an 8mm Bolt or alun head bolt, remove the retainer and grip baffle twist an pull slightly to remove some baffles have silicone around them to seal it which could hamper removal

get the serial number off the bike and bring it with you ownership papers to a kawi dealer and they can order you a new key. Cheaper then replacing the ignition.

This problem is the alternator is not charging. You will need to trouble shoot the stator, rectifier/regulator. You will need a volt/ohm meter. It is best to get you a good manual. But as always check your fuses. The stator will produce AC voltage in about the 27 - 32 volts AC range at idle. Unplug the stator and check for voltage there at this plug when idling. Next plug the rectifier back in and check for voltage at the battery at idle, should be in the 14 volts DC range. If you are getting the proper AC voltage at the two wires on the stator and only battery voltage at the battery, then your rec/reg is not doing its thing. Hope this helps FixYa up.
