Morning,

Just signed up and thought I would say hello...

Picking up a brand spanking new 2007 ZX6-R in a few weeks and cant wait!
I havent riden in around 8 years so doing a few days training before I pick my new bike up.

I was going to wait until the summer but the deal was too good to turn down.

Welcome to the Zone.

Post up some pics when you get that beast!

Welcome to the zone baby!!

PS; any chance you know the manufacture date on your bike. If your not already aware there have been multiple issues to say the least with the 07 ZX-6r. Most have been with bikes with a 02/07 date of manufacture.

Welcome out!

Cheers for the welcome!

Not sure what the build date is but will find out. What sort of problems are 07 models having?

Just heading out now to watch the Rally of GB in Wales for the weekend then up to the NEC for the bike show on Sunday.... Almost too much to do in just one weekend

I have an 02/07 build ZX6R, and I just got it out of the shop yesterday after taking it in early October for an oil leak from my valve cover gasket and a faulty cam sensor. But good luck, and cant wait to see your bike!

Hi, just joined myself. I would listen to what these guys have been saying! See my opening thread.

Brrrrrr its cold!

I am picking my bike up tomorrow from the dealer, cant wait!
Not sure if I am looking forward to the 30 mile ride home in this cold with new tyres though but its got to be done...

How do I check when it was manufactured? These engine problem stories are worrying...

Anything I should ask or check for when picking it up?

Cheers

The problems on mine didn't show up straight away. It was after about 500 or 600 miles that it started to rattle a bit and the apparent leak started after approx 1200 miles. I would take it easy for the first few hundread miles and if any systems show, take it back to your dealer asap. Not sure how to find out about the date of manufacture?:O

welcome to the zone mate and have fun on the new ride and take it easy on the cold n wet mith new rubber.. pics too please

 

[horsegun]

What a cold day! Up at the crack of dawn to pick the new bike up then spent the afternoon outside watching rugby...

The bike is awesome..... Could not stop grinning on the ride home! Was a lot easier than I thought to ride around town and cant wait to put some miles on it so I can open it up a little.

Was dark by the time I got back so the pictures are not the best as they were taken inside.

WElcome,

[ninjabob]

Ive done 2k on mine and apart from it been a little ticky at low revs not had any problems. It gets used!
