ZX6 Build Thread
few more updates:
Working under a tent now:
The canopy is amazing and allows me to work without worrying about the weather being a jerk. Even leaves falling into a carb (which happened) is a pain.
Putting the bike back together.
Custom air filter (.50)
Airbox on:
Update:
So she starts now every time, and i havent tried it with the choke off yet, but the pilot jets are struggling that's for sure.
Seafoam anyone?

And now im putting the carbs back on.
The only thing about this bike that puzzles me is all the emission lines that go from the valve top and such... interesting hoses.

apparently the zx6e is notorious for wearing out the second gear early, and instead, i have to shift to third, or the second gear forces it back into neutral.
ive read countless tutorials on doing it, and its actually rather simple if you are mechanically inclined, (pulling the shift drum and replacing a few gears).
Ill probably be gathering funds to do that as well in the next month, but right now is the fairing rebuild. ill keep you guys posted.

This is what happenes when you don't buy a Honda.
yea second gear slips into neutral, but she hits 50pmh+ in first gear like a champ.
Better throttle response than my f3....
but yea.. my f3 has second gear
