Hey guys... I know its ludacris, but my brother bought a new kawi ZX6r heres the problem:

He just did his first oil change by himself. He started it up and let it run for awhile, no dice, oils not showing. I told him maybe it needs to sit upright... is this it or any ideas? I know you guys arent kawi experts, but you do know your shiz

thanks,

Chris

Its a Kawi thats the problem lol j/k i know exactly nothing about a Kawi other than i will not own one, Anyway get the owners manual and look it up in there, if its like the RR then you simply stand it upright and see if its in between the marks after the oil filter is primed on the eyeglass same if its got a dipstick hope this helps

 

1.I think it takes about 3L of oil. 2. Check the oil with the bike upright. 3. Let the bike idle (don't rev it) for 10sec then shut it off to prime the oil filter if you didn't do it already. 4. Recheck the oil and fill to the line. 5. Restart and let idle and check for leaks.

 

The bike does need to be level/upright to check the oil.... and how many quarts did he add?

 

alright, thanks guys he got it all goin now... i think it was the whole prime the filter thing lol...

He put in 4 quarts, as it calls for 3.6 quarts....



thanks again guys, i appreciate the help... were all n00bs at one time[&:]
