Thanks for this video Brad, Ordered the bypass from your site so I can do this to my '21 ZX6 soon. Question, I have been suggested that I remove the evaporations canister in addition to this mod while I have the bike apart. Have you done this or do you suggest doing this? Im not sure what codes it might throw on the dash and what all I need to be aware of if I attempt it myself. Thanks
Glad the Vid helped you out. Thanks for your business. Most people do remove the EVAP canister at the same time and also recommend doing it. It's not as critical for performance since the EVAP doesn't have anything to do with tuning. But it does save some weight and get a lot of junk out of the way. If you simply unplug it yes, it will trigger a check engine light. I sell a bypass for that as well: kawasakibrad.com/shop/ols/products/purge-valve-bypass. Similar plug to the PAIR valve but different electronics. That's why I have the PAIR bypass with red bands and the PURGE bypass with green.
I watched another video where he took out another plate under where the block off plate would be. Just curious as to what your thoughts on this might be. It was a 2020 model
I think you're talking about that weird Reed valve thing? Yes, on some bikes there is a metal plate that goes with the gasket on the downside of this situation. That's what the recess (hollowed out) portion of the cap is for.
Hey everyone I'm just wondering I got everything done but and I do have one of the Kawasaki play tech things that help with the check engine My question is do I plug the air filter the one that sits on top of the box
Hey new to riding bought a used 07 zx6r and it was missing the air switch valve( previous owner) but the check engine light wasn’t on and rode just fine after changing the head cover gasket unplugging it and plugging it back on the fi 64 code shows up ( air switch valve code) and buggs out at high rpms could this be the issue?
So say I don't want to tune the engine or dyno, but just want to get rid of the California emissions crap is that ok? What kind of results will I get from just deleting the emissions or should I have it tuned afterwards because of removing the emissions
There is no performance gain or loss. Just less popping and backfiring (especially on decel). No tune required but when/if you do dyno tune the bike later this is pretty much mandatory. kawasakibrad.com/shop/ols/products/pair-delete-kit
For the 07 ZX6R, since you dont offer a bypass for it on your website (09-up), does that mean it may not throw a FI light with the air valve disconnected?
Hey JF, the Switching Valve on the O7-O8 is 16126-1437 and was substituted in 09 for a valve that does the same thing, has the same plug, and fits in the same spot. Long story short, yes it will still throw a code but the good news is my bypass will work with your bike. I'll update the site accordingly today. Great find and I'm glad I got a chance to look in to it. If you want, HMU on the contact tab of kawasakibrad.com and I'll give you a discount. :)
instead of the block plates cant you just run a pipe from one flange to the other? im doing mine atm and im trying to keep it budget and im thinking it could work as the will be kind of closed? less cleaner then yours of course but would it work ?
Yes, it would work but it needs to be very heat resistant. It's exhaust gasses in there so a generic plastic hose will light on fire. The plates are $35 CAD at kawasakibrad.com Small price to pay to NOT burn your bike down.
I got another hose that goes from the valve to a black rectangular box that box also has tubes going to the gas tank but i done see that extra hose on yours I got a 09 zx6r what do i do with that extra hose
@@speeddemon370 unfortunately it is a ca motorcycle but i did take everything off and just left the blue colored hose i just don't know if to leave it hanging next to the overflow hose or place it somewhere where dirt won't get in
PURGE valve and PAIR valve are completely different things. I have a PURGE valve bypass available at kawasakibrad.com (search PURGE in the search bar). But this video has absolutely nothing to do with the PURGE setup.
So come to find out I don't have a purge valve, I got ecu flash and the code came up for some reason. I took it apart and there was no canister or hoses. Still gunna do the block off plates though. Hopefully it will go away.
Yup. Connect them with 20ohm 10w resistor (in this case). Some bikes are different but just measure the resistance of the valve and duplicate with resistors.
@@brendanlee3852 I verified with trial and error a long time ago. You're probably right that a 10w is overkill, but if memory serves correct a 3or4 watt still burnt. I don't think it's the wattage so much as heat dissipation. It get's really hot under there and every time I've had a smaller resistor burn out it was after a really long hard ride on a hot day. Never had a 10watt fail and they're pretty cheap so I just stuck with that. If you find that a 5w works for you please post back and confirm, but I wouldn't go less than 5w and there's no real price difference between a 5w and 10w anyways.
Perhaps one of the 10w resistors with a heat sink would provide additional heat dissipation. I consulted with a friend who is skilled with electronics. He said voltage divided by resistance gives you current 12v/20=0.6A, then you can multiply amperage by voltage to find wattage 0.6 x 12 = 7.2W and he said 10w sounds appropriate
What are the pros of running the block off plates vs a hose through both sides of the reed valves

I am having a no start no crank situation and it's throwing code 64 which is this exact issue how do i install the resistor
Can you put boost in to your smog pipe ???

Woulddd love some help!😅
What year bike is this
nice, is the same setup on versys 650? I'd like to get rid of that BS as well.
The 650 has a similar setup but not exact. You can find the delete plug here. kawasakibrad.com/shop/ols/products/versys-smog-pump-bypass

@@speeddemon370 good info. Msg sent on site
@@speeddemon370 so will a 20ohm 10w resistor work on the 2007-2008 as well?
@@UncleScoob nope. I kind of got mixed up which was which in the messages above. Up to 08 it's vac line activated. No electronics involved.
@@speeddemon370 I was only wondering because I have an electrical connector going to the valve on my 2007
instead of the block plates cant you just run a pipe from one flange to the other? im doing mine atm and im trying to keep it budget and im thinking it could work as the will be kind of closed? less cleaner then yours of course but would it work ?

The plates are $35 CAD at kawasakibrad.com

question did you leave the 2 little plates inside as a form of gasket to prevent any leaks or should i take them off and just install the plates
Yes, keep the interior plates as a gasket.
@@speeddemon370 thanks i just ordered the plug from your site
I got another hose that goes from the valve to a black rectangular box that box also has tubes going to the gas tank but i done see that extra hose on yours
I got a 09 zx6r what do i do with that extra hose
That's probably the Evap canister (purge valve). California bike I'm guessing? Tons of info on the ZX6 Forum about how to do that.
@@speeddemon370 unfortunately it is a ca motorcycle but i did take everything off and just left the blue colored hose i just don't know if to leave it hanging next to the overflow hose or place it somewhere where dirt won't get in
Hey dude where you from can u help me with my bike i just got it
I'm from Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada. What do you need?
I'm getting a 3a purge valve code on my 15, I think it was a Cali bike. Wondering if doing this will turn the check engine code off.
PURGE valve and PAIR valve are completely different things. I have a PURGE valve bypass available at kawasakibrad.com (search PURGE in the search bar). But this video has absolutely nothing to do with the PURGE setup.

At 1:50 is this an O2 bypass or pair valve bypass. Just curious before ordering the wrong thing
Do you know how many ohms to use for the ZX6 2019~2021?
Yup. That's why I make a plug and play bypass for it. kawasakibrad.com/shop/ols/products/ninja-zx-z-smog-pump-bypass
Hey Brad, so youre soldering a 20 Ohm resistor connecting the two together correct?
Yup. Connect them with 20ohm 10w resistor (in this case). Some bikes are different but just measure the resistance of the valve and duplicate with resistors.
10w is a pretty hefty resistor how can I verify the wattage of the resistor that I need?

Can 2018 ZX 6r model also need to do this?
Yes. 2013-18 are the same. The bike in this vid is a 13.
can this be done on a 2001 model zx6r?
Yes. But there are no electronics. Just do block off plates and plug the hole on the airbox.
@@speeddemon370 would a block off kit for an 09-12 work for an 01 model minus the electronics?
Not sure. You would basically have to hold them up side by side and I don't have both at home.
can a basic jumper wire work?
Nope.
