Hey guys. Well I have an old 2002 ZX6R with 50,000 miles. I've done all my oil changes since I bought her. For the first 30,000 miles I never had trouble changing my oil or method. But for the past few years whenever I change the oil, the oil pressure light stays on after turning on my bike...

Hi all, Hopefully a simple question. Looking to service my bike in the next few days, what oil would you recommend? Looking at 10w-40 but not 100% on whether I would need semi synthetic, rock oil etc. There is plenty on the market now. Cheers Stephen

Okay so I was changing my oil, couldn't get the filter off so I ran a screw driver through it. Little did I know the oil cooler was less that a 1/4" from the oil filter on the other side. Luckily I stopped before I ran the damned thing all the way through. Yes I feel stupid no I don't think...

Hey guys, I am the proud owner of a 2013 636. I got it 3 weeks ago and am nearing the 600 mile mark. I wanna give her nothing but the best and wanna run motul 300v starting at 600 miles with a k&n filter. I have seen some other threads where one or two people comment on using motul 300v so...

So I was bored, school doesn't start for me until the 17th so I decided to try building a little ramp. I actually think I did a good job since I only built this little ramp to make the oil changes. I might try doing a rear one but will see. Sorry if the pics look crappy I took them from my iphone.

I started doing track days on an '07 ZX6R earlier this year. I changed the oil after the first one, and noting the engine temp got pretty high, switched to Motul 7100 synthetic believing that synthetic would handle the temps better. Figured it would handle the high revs better as well...

I have been told two polar opposite methods as to how to break in your engine. The obvious, which is from the manual, is to break it in easy. The other, more controversial method, is to run your engine hard to seal the rings. Further information can be found here: (Break In Secrets--How To...
