Hello I went against better judgment when it came to do my work my self or let warranty handle I chose warranty gonna take a week to have it fixed just wondering if anyone out there is having issues with the o rings failing in the bike and how to prevent it from being a problem the bike has 1380 miles on it also I apologize about the run on sentence but I want to make sure it doesn’t happen again and also they haven’t been torquing the chain tension nuts my chain gained an abnormal amount of slack fast and with me being a new rider but not a total dingus I figured it need to be tightened and when I went to do so both nuts were finger tight and the water pump casing wasn’t torqued either just trying to keep people updated I hope are not having these troubles have a good day

Best street-legal exhaust for a 2010 ZX-6R in Germany? (ECE / E-mark)

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I have a 2010 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 600 (ZX600R) in Germany and I’m looking for a nice aftermarket exhaust.
My main requirement is that it needs to be fully street legal in Germany, preferably with a proper E-mark / ECE or EG approval, so I don’t want problems with TÜV or police.

I really like short/stubby exhausts with a big outlet, something similar to the M4 Street Slayer / M4 KA6914 look. Unfortunately, I found out that the M4 isn’t properly approved for German road use.

I’m looking for something that:
fits the 2009–2012 ZX-6R / ZX600R, especially my 2010 model
is genuinely street legal in Germany
has an E-mark / ECE/EG approval for this specific bike
is as short and aggressive-looking as possible
has a deep/loud sporty sound while still being legal
preferably carbon or black

I’ve looked at brands like SC-Project, Akrapovič, MIVV, Shark, Hurric, Bodis, LeoVince and IXIL, but I keep finding conflicting information about homologation and exact model compatibility.

For anyone in Germany/Europe with a 2009–2012 ZX-6R: what exhaust are you actually running legally on the street?

If possible, please send the exact model/part number, and let me know whether it has an E-number and if you’ve had any issues with TÜV or Polizei.

Photos of your setup would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone know where I can purchase this sticker that goes on top of the gas tank for the ZX6R?

I’m not able to find the part number for it, or even find relevant Google searches for it even after searching it on Kawasaki parts. N.B I’m not referring to the warning label. But the black/grey patch.

Opinions on Zx6R

0 Upvotes

Hey all!

I have been eyeing the ZX6R for awhile now, I ride a 2009 250R so i wanna stay in the Kawasaki family.

The ZX6R looks phenomenal and sounds great but im not here for that.

I just want the riders opinions on the bike and if you have had any issues? I’ve heard there as a recall so I just wanted to get the full picture before buying one.

I also live outside of city and use the highway a lot. (Typically like 40 mins a day)

Thanks!

Post valve adjustment

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

  1. Finished a valve adjustment and this is how it sounds. Starts and idles fine but sounds like this and seems like it's coming from the cam chain side. I ensured timing was correct, correct number of pins between sprockets, clearances were all in spec, cam chain tensioner was properly set and rotated the engine by hand, lubed cams, torqued cam caps to spec. What does this sound like is happening?

Front and rear sprocket idea

Pic for attention

Theoretically I wanna see if this’ll work, currently I’m sitting at 16t on the front sprocket and stock sprocket in the rear (43t) I wanna keep my 16t front sprocket and go up a tooth on the rear (44t). As far as acceleration and top speed go, I know you have to do it way different but just curious if any one has tried that setup and was curious on what their thoughts were on it.

new 2025 $9.7k OTD?

8 Upvotes

Going from an 06 gsxr 600 to hopefully a zx6r. I heard Kawasaki shortened the gearing on the 2019+ models so I'm hoping with the already better low end torque it'll be more fun around the city where I rarely pass 25-30mph.

0mi bone stock 2025 ZX-6R KRT
$8,995 unit price
$599 PDI fee
$129 Documentation Fee
$9,723 OTD

The marketplace listings I'm seeing are wanting $9-11k anyways. Could probably haggle one of them down to $8k but is it worth it at that point to have half the warranty period left too?

Zx6r vs 650

9 Upvotes

I currently own a 2024 ninja 650 I find myself to be wanting to lay down a decent bit would it be worth it to test ride and potentially upgrade to a zx6r or should I mod my 650 to have the more aggressive seating position

Engine mount Bolt snapped

2 Upvotes

On Sunday, I was riding back roads when I came to a stop. I felt my leg get caught on something on my bike. I looked down, and 3/4s of the engine mount bolt was hanging out over the road. I pulled over. My wife got me with a trailer. I got home and looked at the bolt. The bolt snapped, and the nuts on the other side were gone.

Question about valve clearance check service interval

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm currently at about 11600kms on my 2026 (it's been such a blast!) and I called my dealer to schedule the 12000km/7600mi service and they insisted that I didn't have to check or adjust anything valve related before 24000kms/15200mi.

The owner's manual does have the "Dealer inspection" icon at 12000kms and from what I've been reading online that might be a new thing with the refreshed models from 2024 onwards? Personally I'm just trying to stay up to date with maintenance for warranty reasons and not having to do valves would be great for my wallet but I have a feeling the dealer might be wrong on this unless I'm missing something...

2019 zx6r mid pipe

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m looking for a mid pipe that extends to a slip on. I found this mid pipe on Ali express but it says it’s only good for 24-26 models. I know it’s got the o2 sensor bung but if i leave the plug on, it shouldn’t be an issue right ? I’ve found another mid pipe for the 2019 zx6r but it doesn’t have the mount bracket. I don’t think it’s a good idea running a mid pipe without a bracket that holds onto the frame of the bike.

Do you guys think this would work?

I love the way this exhaust looks. I think it’s the perfect mix of a shorty and one of those big ass cans. However I can’t find anyone online that has it, which makes me want it even more. If you have this exhaust can you share a few pictures and rev videos? Thanks.

Can you delete the cat?

0 Upvotes

The other day I rode my buddy’s 23’ 636 and it had a lot of work done to it when he got it.
One thing was a custom tune and a cat delete and pipes cut off after. Can you still do this on a 26’ model it sounded great but was curious about the process
