Oil capacity for Kawasaki 1997 ZX6R? I would like to know the oil capacity for my 97 ZX6R. Ive googled it and haven't found anything conclusive. Thanks.

You need to be doing over 10 mph to select anything other than 1st...if it will not change up while riding then I would suspect that the bearings that stop the other gears engaging at low speed are stuck or worn. This system is designed to make it easier to find neutral at a standstill. If you haven't tried to change gear while moving get someone to spin the back wheel as you change up and the problem should go away...

This is a known problem for the 96-97 model.
You can have it welded, (Aluminum!)
But make sure you disconnect the electricity connections from your frame.

my 97 kawasaki turns over wont start from sitting for months

Try a bike shop for Kawasaki or even a car part shop that has listing for motorbike filters and normally they also sell the oil. Check your owners maual for the SAE requirement. You can try Castrol or Belray website. Good luck

it sounds like there is to much oil in the engine the same thing happened to my zx6r, hold the bike upright on level ground then check oil level on the glass viewing window which is on the right hand side of engine, you should see oil level between the low and high marks, if level is above top line you will need to drain some oil out by undoing sump bolt or using a siphon, when ever checking oil level bike needs to be upright on levelish ground some people check oil levels when bike is on side stand which is wrong as it shows oil level as low when in-fact its probably right

2 qts even with filter. 10-40 bike oil only, must be type t or be certified for wet clutch use. will say on the back of bottle, most auto parts have it

search google for kawasaki forums. you should join one or two and ask the same question. Someone there, who has direct experience, will know if it fits or not.

keep your oil breather unblocked all the time's coz the pressure of it can destroy your gasket and oil seal.

270mls per leg, or 280 if you want a little stiffer ride
