1995 kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja - Page 2 Questions & Answers
Hi, my zx6r is playing
Hate to tell you, but you will need to pull the carbs off again. When cleaning the float needles, check for wear on the needles. Check to make sure the tip of the needle is pointed without any grooves wore in tip and the 4 "corners" of the needle are not getting flat. Also check for wear in the needle seat where the float needle sits. The seat should be round, and with use it will wear grooves where the needle rides up and down with the float. If those parts are worn out it will not shut fuel off to the carburetor, especially on a gravity feed fuel tank. Let me know if this helps, Daniel.
Okay well I got the bike about a week ago and when
Hi,
Bad news mate, you bought a bike with a blown head cylinder gasket! You should have thoroughly checked the engine and electrical before you pay for it.
That milky choco substance in your engine lubrication is your coolant that seeped into the engine block, that was cause by too much overheating or age.
You should bring that Ninja to your mechanic and have them replace the head/block gasket and do some machining/shaving on the head, be carefull on your speed and temperature it may cause a lot more damage in your piston and crankshaft.
Oil change is a must after you replace the gasket.
Hope that helps you out!
Thanks for using FixYa!
Valves hitting on pistons
if the valves hit the pistons the cam timing out way out.
Even a slight touch between the piston and valves can bend the valves, you may be able to confirm this if the valve clearances are too big,
the head may need to come off
Help replacing brake pads
pads are simple enough maintenance should be only 2 nuts holding on each caliper take of the caliper cant go wrong there when off have a look at the nuts and bolts holding different things when caliper is off there should be a pin running along the top of the pads holding them in place remove the pin should be easily done with an allen key the tricky part is getting the piston back if they are slightly seized for this will need a vice grips to squeeze them back will take a bit i have spent 45 minutes before trying to gte one piston back if it gets too hard or wont move then release some break fluid there should be a small nipple? on the caliper to bleed some out but dont let to much out when all pistons fully back put on the pads and screw the holding pin back in place then put them back on the discs easy peasy lol back is similar enough and if your first time then would reccomend taking them off and familirise yourself with doing them cant go to wrong also when calipers are off handy to give them a cleaning cloth and wd40 will do the trick but be careful not to get it on the pads will decrease braking for a bit hope you get on ok
My bikes been standing for a couple of months and
If your bike sits outside it can be moisture build up inside the engine. White oil indicates water in the oil. I would recommend changing the oil prior to riding the bike. Make sure that you check the coolant level to verify that it is not low. Warm the engine up and then drain the oil. The will help flush the moisture out of the engine. Once you have new oil in the engine go for a ride and check the oil again. If you still have moisture in the engine it may have additional problems such as water pump seal or even a head gasket issue.
Thanks and I hope that this helps.

My '95 ninja is idling
You have to remove the seat, and loosen the tank to access the carbs. Follow the linkage from the throttle grip, down to the carbs and there in between the two middle carbs is an idle adjustment screw. You will need a phillips screwdriver (I think its a phillips, been a long time) with a thin shaft about 9 - 10 inces long to adjust it. You can use a 1/4 drive ratchet and long extension w/ a screw driver attachment also. Happy hunting
My 92 kawasaki zx6 won't turn offer unless I pop
You either have a bad switch, a hot wire short feeding unwanted juice to the ignition system, or the pistons and cylinder head need to be de-carboned. Hot spots of carbon are continuing to ignite the gas even without a spark. Be sure the spark plugs are correct > NGK CR9E or use NGK C9E. Too hot a plug, ( i.e. cr7e ), will make the engine run at a higher temp. Please rate my answer. Thanks.
Overheating
remove thermo stat ,check for corrosion, clean, disconnect radiator hose ,drain, flush radaitor and engine out with garden hose,refit hoses, and thermo stat and refill with coollent
My 1995 kawasaki ZX-6R cuts
main jets in the carbs or computer or air filter. Check these out first. Way to vague for it to be sound advice.
How do i get to
release the seat lock and, remove the battery from under the seat.
Hi there,
The tank shouldnt pressurize
Not certain what you mean by air bleed valve, but there should not be fuel leaks
Fuel Problem
If your compression is good on ALL cylinders, you still have a carb issue. You have to be extremely thorough when "rebuilding" or cleaning out. There is small holes on the sides of most pilot jets that a lot of people overlook.
Misfire causing back fire turn over but no start
Have you changed the HT leads recently./ Sounds like they are on the wrong way round and not with the correct firing order causing the engine to not catch and not start but misfire as it is trying to to start the wrong cylinder at the wrong time.
Vote for me if this helps. Thanks.
