    I have a 2006 zx636. When it’s parked it will hit redline easy but, when riding it around if I pin the throttle it hits 13k then stops. I can then decrease throttle to about 3/4 and it will slowly climb past 13k to or near redline. The fuel pump was replaced less than a year ago after I cleaned...

    Loosen the locknuts [A] . Okay. Screw both throttle cable adjusters [C] [D] to give the throttle grip plenty of play. Okay. Turn the decelerator cable adjuster [C] until it has no play when the throttle grip is completely closed. My 2016 ZX-6's reducer cable adjuster can be unscrewed until...

    Hi guys, I’ve got an 04 ZX-6R B1h (25k miles), it’s been standing for a few years but just got it MOT’d and back on the road. I had to replace the fuel pump as it was completely crusted up. As was the tank which is now clean. New plugs K&N filter Oil and filter Battery Started up and idled...

    My 2012 Zx6R has been doing this lately. Everytime a turn it on it revs itself to 3000rpms for a a second or two and then it drops to regular idle. But it only does it on the initial turn on, not while riding. I lube the throttle cables already and it still doing it. Any ideas?

    So i filled up with fuel and then 10 minutes later after changing gear the bike didnt return to lower revs. Stayed at about 5-6k. after a minute or 2 riding it would come down to 2k or so. If i start it, it revs up tp about 6k. First thing i tried, change the throttle cables. One was frayed and...

    Hi all, I'm not very mechanically-inclined so was hoping someone here would be able to shed some light on an issue I'm having. I recently purchased a 2009 ZX6R with ~14000kms on it. Runs well, haven't found any outstanding issues with it, bar one. When taking off from a standstill in first (or...

    Im having problem with my ZX6R at the high end speed. Sometimes i feel the bike stay when I open the throttle but it go back again. Now this is not all the times. Normally in 1, 2,3,4 gears it reapond to the throttle. Once i pass it 5 gear the motorcycle hits 112mph to 122mph and when hit the 6...

    Hello all, I have a 2006 zx6r, it has terrible fuel millage. I get roughly 75 miles on a full tank before the fuel light comes on. I had always attributed this to the high flow air filter and exhaust and never being tuned. I decided to buy a Power Commander 5 and have it tuned, Also my fi...

    So I've noticed (at least I think it's fairly different) that my 05 636 has been acting up a little. It's got about 36k miles on it. The symptoms: - When doing speeds of 65MPH+, I noticed the throttle doesn't evenly apply as I'm rolling on. What I mean by this is that there's this zig-zagging...

    He everyone, I just bought an 06 636 and took it out for the first long ride yesterday and encountered a few problems I have never had on any other bike. The first problem- the friction zone on the clutch lever seemed to change by itself from the last 90% of the lever to the first 10%. When it...

    Im suffering with bad throttle response on my 2003 ZX6R (B1H) its always as if i pull the throttle back and it makes lots of noise but doesn't go anywhere, seems like its running out of sync! Anyway so iv followed the procedure in the users manual, hooked up some gauges, warmed the bike up on...

    I own an 2003 ZX6R with 9,200 miles. For the last two or so weeks I've been having some problems with the throttle getting choppy. To explain after riding for about 15 minutes I'll start to have a problem where the engine cuts in and out as if my clutch is engaging and disengaging. So far as I...

    Hi guys I was installing LED lights on my bike(05 636) and I had to lift up the tank to get to my battery and my friend lifted it kind of high and I feel like maybe something fell off or something because when I rode later that day and the throttle felt weird like it was soft and my revs were...

    Hey everyone, just bought a 99 Zx6. It's been a bit doctored but for 1300$ I thought it was a good deal. Guy drove up on it. Just got an inspection 20 minutes before I bought it. Fresh tank of gas and it started up just fine. But the guy I got it from said he ran into a couple issues. He had to...

    2007 ZX6R sputtering at low rpms, from about 1000-3500 rpm. -After 3500 rpm bike runs smooth. -If i rev the bike in neutral and let go, the idling is smooth for a couple seconds then goes back to sputtering. Changed the spark plugs that didn't do anything. Bike has about 11k miles Really...

    I have a 2000 Zx6r that I just brought out of winter storage. I forgot to drain my tank (which was at about half full), and a friend suggested throwing some seafoam in it to help the stale gas. I went and topped off (I wasn't having the throttle issue on the way to the gas station), and added...

    I have an '06 636. The other day while replacing tires, brakes and plugs I decided to pull the pair system and cap it. I also removed the secondary butterfly valves and cleaned/oiled my K&N air filter. Since then my mistress rides great… until the rpm's go high (like I'm half WFO when I'm not)...

    Hey guys, been riding my 05 ZX6R for some time now, brought it second hand with 60,000klm, just had some work because it was idling really badly and wouldnt rev, it would just die. Now i have new valve shims, valves. and a new set of springs, its all roughly set me back about $2000 including...

    Hey guys, I'm having a problem with my throttle sticking. I just recently replaced the motor, the old one slung a rod. I kept the same throttle bodies and throttle cables etc. I did undo the c-clamp looking housing over the throttle on the handlebar. Now I put it all back together and it won't...
