been trying to find videos of 2019 zx6r oil changes thank god this is the video and advice i was looking for. my battery died and all our bikes come with a yuasa zxt9 bs . the charger recommended when not riding often is battery tender 800. things u learn when owning a bike
I understand your struggle with taking off the stock oil filter. On my ninja 300 I pretty much ruined and disfigured the OEM filter trying to take it off. I will only install K&M or any filters with that included removal lug. Oh I also only ever hand tighten my oil filters.
Rydatime I’m trying right now... how the fuck do you get it off??? I’ve seen all the videos available on TH-cam. I’m about to just take it up to the dealer with the supplies and be like, alright y’all got the tools, just take this filter off for me.
Same here on my ninja 650.. the thing was so tight my plier wrench busted the filter and oil started gushing out it was a mess.. I installed a k&m and never going back lol
Jake_Ammz17 Super late didn’t notice this comment but you pretty much have to destroy the first oem one. Have to hammer a screw driver into to and turn it or get a two way oil filter tool to kinda crush it
25k in a year then sold it two days after that lol. Fast forward 6 month as of next weekend and I’m considering the new 2020 orange one but doing a track build. That or currently eyeing a 2019 zx10r in grey. For 13,500
Nice upload. Doing my first oil change tomorrow. I brung it to the dealer the first service but now it's my turn. You must ride a lot man, I have a 2019 and I only have like 4,000 miles on it lol.. idk how
Use Factory Torque Specs and NEVER use K&N oil filters. They have been known to fail and explode at the nut part of the filter due to high pressures. They have been banned at most race tracks too.
Austin racing gp1rr and tst fender Eliminator+ smoke out tail light with intergrated turn signals. But also check out nrc- new rage cycles they have just a plate bracket and low profile turn signals Both are great
Some say don’t use full synthetic till after the first 2 service but I went straight to using motul 7100 which is what me and 4 other buddies have been using for over 20 oil changes if you count them from each bike with mine under going 8 of the 20+ And I would normally hang it at 3k miles all the way up to 4K if I didn’t have the time. I swear by that brand (motul 7100 10-40). as for stands I use some cheap amazon ones labeled MOTO-D. BUT IF YOU CAN GET vortex or pit bull stands
@@monochrome5.0 hey man, so I wanted to ask about the site glass for the oil level. Where should it be roughly sitting at after its been filled with fresh oil and settled after starting the bike briefly?
Most manufacturers recommend in the middle of the two hash marks. Personally I do 3/4 on the Zx6r ,R6 and both my buddies r1 and gsxr1000r. But we all track ride now so it’s been keeping the mind as ease of oil starvation when leaned over for longer periods of time
Forget what the manual says apon changing the oil it’s multiple times it’s clearly cooked Second even dealers schedule shorter intervals So sure if you want to go 8k by all means do that . But as oil breaks more and more. Overall doesn’t do it any good.
bro what do you call those two plastic screw beside the engine oil cap th-cam.com/video/hWqDVbUNGlM/w-d-xo.html , because mine has a oil leak on one of those screw.
Mark Dela Rosa timing hole plugs for the timing chain cover. They each have a o-ring that’s what’s leaking Easy cheap .50¢ fix Just replace the o-ring on both
i think it's just loose, i tried to tigthen it and it move easily. now its not leaking but to make sure ill just bring to the dealership.. thanks bro for the information
Hey man wanted to let you know to change the oil on schedule, not on some x amount of mileage. e.g., don't change it every 3500 miles. Change it at 7500, 15k, 22.5k, 30k. I suppose that would be 7500 miles apiece, so every 7500 miles change it. Engineers recommend this for a reason. Changing it earlier means you're wasting money, that's it. If you ride track then yeah, I would expect the oil to need changing much earlier. However, even riding aggressive on the street, 3500 miles is too early.
Hey man just curious. How do you already have 14 THOUSAND miles on your bike in less than a year? Is this your only form on transportation or do u just enjoy riding it enough to where you get 14 thousand miles in one year? Lol
Just sold it feb 17th. And feb15 was marking one year. And hit exactly 25k and some change. The first 6-8k were mainly hwy miles but also went on 5-6 hour hill country runs. Then the rest were hill country runs and to the gym down some twisty back roads. But now it’s time for a new bike in the coming months. For now it’s just dirt bikes
@@monochrome5.0 just curious, how much did you get out of it? 25k miles is usually a hard pass for most people on a supersport. I ask cause I'm planning on buying one, probably a 13-17, in the next month and I'm weighing the new vs. used pros and cons. BTW, 250th sub. Lol
Johnny Hustle brotha first and foremost I appreciate the sub I didn’t think id even have more then 50,when I started the channel I plan on using my nicer gear to up the content quality in the near future. Anyways to answer your question I paid 10,037$ cash feb 15 ,2019 and sold it feb 17th,2020 for 5k cash The buyer was amazed how clean it was 9.5/10 For the miles on it. Had proof of all the major service and valve adjustment via video since I did it all. After the test ride he stated ,”not even going to haggle you on the the price”Plus all the goodies and fresh tires. But then again as a seller I wasn’t trying to fuck anyone like the dealers so I didn’t ask 8k just like these oils have and have done in the past. I’d personally go with the new models if you can wait it out and buy cash but if not 16-17 were my next picks due to color scheme for them Not really a fan of straight kawi green No real pro or cons the bikes 13-20 are the same other then the new fairing looks and quick shifter and full led headlights that run on both sides Now if you your a fast rider in the canyons I’d say go new due to most used bikes that need shocks/fork oil serviced as well as other wearable things like brakes tires and chain
Very helpful video, I’m about to do my first service by myself thanks to you🙏
The only hard part was the dam oil filter. It’s on tight but it will come off just have to be a little pissed off and use some force
You can put heavy duty aluminum foil under the oil filter once loosened up to direct the oil to the side of the bike.
Yeah I’ve done that one
Kinda preferred the cardboard since I have a shit ton around the house
or a thick pc cardboard...
Dope video, i have the all black 2019 zx6r
Thanks brotha. Yeah the black is pretty clean but there was something about this gray with holographic reflections in the sun that this bike has

Bro those matching blue swing arm spools - where did you get them?
Great video. Have the same bike. Used this to do the oil change. Thank you!
Glad it helped and I think I got them off evo tech performance web page
I lied they are from tst web page by womb tech here’s the long tstindustries.com/womet-tech-anodized-aluminum-swingarm-spools.html
Excellent. Thanks!!! Wow you put a lot of miles on the bike!!! I'm jealous!

@@monochrome5.0 I dont see myself getting rid of my ZX-6R unless I eventually trade it for a ZX-10R. Lol. So keep us posted!
Do u have a list of maintenance intervals like air filter spark plugs fluids and valve clearance
No that bikes been long gone, but not hard to find 🤙🏽

Yeah. I’ve since then. Moved on from street riding. All track miles now

10 high flow filters in on multiple bikes, on the track and still no explosions of oil
@@monochrome5.0 k & n are very good.
Love from india bro
dady g Man that’s cool that videos are being seen that far away. Thanks brotha
Good vid. Hell of a time for puberty to strike 😂
Bro, it’s like never ending 😂🗣
put pc thick cardboard with crease in it under filter help drain to pan so don't get on the bike.
Is changing every 3K miles excessive? I own the exact same bike, color, and year.
When your beating on it, It’s not a bad idea but otherwise 5-6k would be fine
Hey man what fender eliminator ans exhaust did you go with?
Austin racing gp1rr and tst fender Eliminator+ smoke out tail light with intergrated turn signals. But also check out nrc- new rage cycles they have just a plate bracket and low profile turn signals Both are great

Central-Austin
What frame sliders are those?
Evo tech performance. Or check out tst industries they carry some womb tech ones that are almost identical and just as good.
every how many miles do you change oil
3500 but you can stretch it out to 5k if need too
