Top 20 1998 kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja Questions & Answers

Remove and lay spark plug (still connected to wire) on engine. Should see a good spark whwn cranked. Remove fuel, turn petcock on with vacuum pump to the third line (if equipped), should have good flow of fuel. If oil not more than 1 qt down, shouldn't affect it. I would empty the gas and put in frsh, with some cleaner (2 oz Chemtool).

Does the engine misfire? Check your HT leads (connect the spark plugs to the coils) is one of them loose?

tighten or replace

sounds like a ground problem. look for where the wire loom is grounded to the frame. it's probably loose.

The fuel pump's relay is described on manual's page 15-39 (page 274 on the pdf file)Here is the service manual:http://rs485p10.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/rsapi.cgi?sub=download&fileid=363755587&filename=bmanual.com_Kawasaki_Ninja_ZX_6R_98_99.zip&dlauth=0123456789

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

Hi, Ed98766 and the usual suspects are: 1. Fuel cap or fuel tank is not venting properly. 2. Fuel filter clogged. 3. Fuel line pinched or kinked. 4. Vacuum line from the petcock to intake manifold cracked. 5. Float needle and seat sticking. 6. Float level too low. 7. Carburetor bowl vent line clogged/blocked/pinched. 8. Idle adjusting screw set too low. 9. Air/fuel mixture screw set too lean. 10. Idle port, transfer ports, slow air jet clogged. 11. Slow fuel jet clogged. 12. Faulty fuel pump. 13.

Drain all the fuel and put super high test in it, look for cracks or any leaks from the heads and cylinder walls

try a new oil pressure sender.

other problems could be incorrectly fitted or faulty oil filter, stuck bypass in oil pump, or the wire has been dislodged or damaged off the oil sender

sounds like your sift fork may be bent

The head should come off with out engine removal

There is supposed to be a tube on the bottom of every carb that goes towards the back of the engine and to the ground, it is only an overflow tube.

1" or 25mm

take tank off,remove air box, and follow wire from coil to top of motor,pull up on spark plug wire,the spark plug is inside about 3 to 4"down inside of hole.

Right hand side engine case, next to brake pedal

There is no valve or sensor to do that.
perhaps the RH switch has some damage to the engine stop circuit or wiring

The oil level should be in the upper 1/3 of the window when you are done. the bike needs to be straight upright. after you have added the new oil, run the engine for 1 minute and then shut it off. Let the oil settle ( about 2 minutes ) and then check the level. Add until the level is in the upper 1/3 of the window.
