  1. The ZX6R
    It's getting to be that time of the year and it's time to put some new rubber on the bike. Being that I bought this bike last summer, this is going to be the first new set I'm putting on. I've spent the past 2 days looking at a lot of different tires and reviews online but I'm at a impass...

    Salute. Need some advice for the latest best grip tires in the market right now for the ZX6R 2009. They should be street-legal therefore no slicks. Im looking for the absolute grip on cornering and fast heat up. Durability does not matter, even if I have to change them every year. What would...

    Hi everyone, I just bought my real sport-bike (2008 ZX-6R) since I'd been learning to ride on some families bikes and finally felt ready to pick up my own. When I bought the thing one of the ratchet straps crushed the valve stem and snapped it clean off. The tires were also way past due for...
  4. The ZX6R
    OEM aspect ratio is 65, but I am unable to find anything other than 60 or 70. For rather sedate street riding, should I go 60 or 70? Would change affect speedo? Any recommendations for brand/model appreciated. Thanx, frank

    Been having an issue with either my tire spinning or clutch slipping, cant figure out which one. Tires were relatively warmed up (michelin power 5's), and this happens under hard acceleration usually starting in first gear. A 2006 zx6r with -1 +2. Video linked, any help is appreciated...
  6. The ZX6R
    Hi all, I thought I'll share this with you, in case there's someone looking around for good quality, cost effective and yet very much performant tires for street use on ZX-6R. I managed to get 10 000 kms (~6213 miles) out of my BT016 PRO's, and I'm extremely happy about them. No track use - I...

    Hello everyone.. I am taking my 2018 zx6r to the track this weekend. Can anyone tell me what the tire pressure should be on the stock tires for track day? I will be going to Summit Point. This is my first time on track with this bike and second time ever in general going to track.

    Just curious what you guys pump your tires up to. I'm familiar with what the service manual says for the front and rear but I'm open to suggestions or advice as to where I should have it?
  9. The ZX6R
    This would have been nice to have these the past 30 years. Hopefully it makes it into production. .

    Hello all, I ride a '11 ZX6r. I am just hitting the 6K miles mark and both my front and rear tires need replacing. They came stock with the Bridgestone Battlax BT016. I commute pretty frequently on city and highway riding, probably about 75% highway to 25% city, on average. I am looking for...
  11. The ZX6R
    So I've hit a little bit of a snag. I need new tires to be able to get my bike inspected (which I currently have the ones I ordered in), but every shop I call seems to be weeks behind schedule on their work. Now this wouldn't be an issue if I had stands and could just bring the tires to them...
  12. Racing
    I am still a noob at the track (only been doing it for 2 years and have maybe 18 track days total) and I am even more of a noob when it comes to suspension tuning, but I have managed to get bumped up to advanced and run an ok pace for my very limited experience. I am currently riding a 2010 R6...
  13. The ZX6R
    Best road tires for this bike? I'm not a racer by any means and not dragging my knee anywhere.. Looking for tires that will last long for commuting and provide the traction on the edges when I do get a chance to go out to the twisties.. Any suggestions? I read michelin pilot power 3...yay/nay?
  14. The ZX6R
    Been on this forum a year now and there’s two posts that are posted a few times a week. “What exhaust should I buy” and “What tires should I run.” We got the exhaust threads to link to but we have no tire threads so I’m going to start this here. Hopefully the idea will be appreciated and maybe...

    I was wondering if any of you guys or gals know if dunlop offers this rebate at the start of every season or if its just a once in a while kinda thing? Thinking about if I should get a couple more sets since today is the last day to get the rebate:butbut:... Thanks!
  16. The ZX6R
    I'm thinking about purchasing a set of wheels. The seller has a set (comes with wheels tires rotors and bearings) from a 2002 zx6r. I own a 2003 zx6r. Would they be a direct fit to my bike? Sorry for the newbie question. It's my first bike. Also thanks for the help.
  17. Mechanical and Technical
    Hi, first off I am new to this forum. I just recently purchased a 1996 kawasaki ninja ZX6R with 19500 miles on it. I have a few questions reguarding it. 1. How do you know if your battery is old and needs to be replaced? 2. If it needs to be replaced, where would be the best place to buy...

    Hey all. Just a question and I'm sure there's an obvious answer. Been riding canyons a lot lately and have noticed these strange 'melt' marks on the sides of my tires. I don't ride that hard, air pressure is correct and I kinda take it easy in the corners. What could this be caused from? The...
  19. The ZX6R
    So I found that the stock tire numbers for my 07 ZX6R are FR=120/70ZR17 RR=180/55ZR17 I am looking at tires online at the following link Motorcycle Tires & Wheels ? Top Motorcycle Tire Brands - RevZilla I see multiple catagories from SPORT to CRUISER to TOURING tires. As long as I find a...
