  1. The ZX6R
    I need some help here. I got a 2007 zx6r with 12,000 miles. about a month ago I pulled in the driveway noticed a small puddle of coolant. NO leaks. Found the coolant overflow jug filled to the top with coolant and it spit some out. Figured the radiator cap went bad, coolant was boiling over into...

    Well, this is my first post. I don't want to put anyone to sleep, so I'll try to make it fast and simple. I bought a used, 06 zx6r. 16k miles. A week later it started to die after riding for 30+ mins. Temperature was high, so I changed the oil and did a coolant flush. Didn't help much...

    I recently purchased a 05 636 with a motor out of a 06 636 with 13k on it. The previous owner said that since he installed the aftermarket exhaust (yoshimura) the temperature has fluctuated all over everything from 200 to the flashing HI. One minute I'm riding it's at 202 then jumps to 238 then...

    So I parked my bike after riding my bike pretty hard one day and realized there was coolant sprayed all over my left side and fairings. I checked coolant levels and they were low, so I added a bit of coolant and ran the bike again. When I gave it a little rev coolant sprayed in a thin stream...

    Hey guys, need a little input... I browsed the topics briefly but didn't notice anything exactly like the issue I'm having, so forgive me if this topic has been beaten to death previously.

    My 06 636 is pushing out antifreeze through the tube that hangs down to the belly fairings. It doesn't overheat, just pushes it out. Not a lot, just a little bit. But I cant figure out why. Anyone have some info that may help me?
