    Yea, I know I've read several other posts about the same issue, I still am not sure where to start as far as fizzing this issue. I purchased an 07' zx6r a few days ago, the bike seems to run fine, doesn't smoke much(little bit when cold but dissipates) it has great throttle response at any rpm...

    Hi all. After 21 years in the saddle on a now classic 1997 zx6r f3, I commited the cardinal sin of forgetting my chain was on promptly fell off at 0 miles an hour.

    So i filled my 07zx6r with 4Q of mobil one 4t racing 10w40 oil. However the window to view your oil level shows no change. The manuel says 4Q for my bike so i didn't put any more but i am curious as to if thats normal or if i should actually add more oil

    This occurred on my '09 ZX6-R9F recently: So about a day ago as I did my pre-work bike check I noticed that something seemed unusual about the way my bike was idling. With no FI light on, no oil or fuel or coolant on the ground, and no strange odors or smoke I decided to head down the street...

    Today I performed a long overdue oil change and picked up a K&N Filter (204) from a factory store in Riverside, CA. After draining the oil and removing the old filter, I proceed to unpack the new one only to find it corroded on the inside (pics below). Looked like some form of rust or deposit...
