I still got my cbr fireblade 929 RR its 24 years old now and still going smooth im keeping her till the end whoop whoop
That's good to hear 👍
Just bought a 1997 zx6r that has seen better days, this is the perfect video for figuring it all out
When I first took off the top airbox cover, my first thought was "there is no way I have to take off ALL these bolts to get the bottom box off"
Imagine my happiness seeing this video to see it was only the two center ones
Ah glad to cheer you up Nick 👍
Oh the joy of working on the ground! I could feel my knees aching just watching you at work;😀
Thanks for the video.
Hence the puffing and blowing 😄
Subscribed shortly after you put on your safety gear. Love it! My ZX6 is just back from a bit of carb work - I immediately sent a text message apologising to the mechanic for filling up the tank 7 miles before dropping it off. School boy error (he didn't mind though).
Always got to have the correct PPE, thanks for joining.
If I knew such a precise mechanic like You, I wouldn't have to do it myself 🙂 many thanks for the tutorial! :)
My pleasure 👍
How have i only just came across this channel 💪
TH-cam hides the good ones, glad you found us
I thought mine was in great condition but that is immaculate! Good video by the way!
Thanks Colin
Splendid video liked and subbed time to watch more of your tinkering 👍
Thanks Craig, welcome aboard 🙂
Excellent video Allan😊😊
Thanks Phillip

Having seen your announcement of this, I didn't get the Vapours, I'm sure you woke up to a NewClear Day ;-)
(loved that song)
Ooh very good Jason 😆
@@TweedsGarage I wonder how many folks get the reference..
@@coplandjason judging by the age stats for the channel, not very many 😁
Looks like you have done this before. Mr T Diden't know you need a special screwdriver, I just thought they were Pozy. Great bike frightenedly quick, I had the prediseser the ZZR 600 that was good for 140 plus if you were feeling brave so so this one must be lighter and quicker. This reminded me of how tight and imageable every thing was.
Ah yes Japanese cross head screwdrivers, its a revelation when you get a set as they fit so well.
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
lolz what a classic vid, thanks for the laughs and education Mr Tweed.
My pleasure Roobie 👍
Hey man if you could do a quick short video on where the fuel pressure regulator and how to replace it that would be great mine went out and I’m clueless where it is
Hi Josh, this bike is an earlier carburettor version with an external fuel pump ( next to the filter i changed) . Later injected models have a fuel pump fitted in the bottom of the tank and the pressure regulator is mounted on the top of the fuel pump housing assembly.
Instead of using the screwdriver bit in the spark plug spanner, use a 17mm socket on the head, it might have to be a thin will socket?
There really isn't any space in there, i had the correct socket but it wouldn't fit, so being away from my workshop i had to use the tool kit box spanner ( i think they probably have a long tube box spanner for sticking them in at the factory, there really is no wiggle room )

glad to hear it, thanks for watching.
Enjoyed that Allan, two observations on that breakfast though. 1:- No black pudding, I realise that a lot of you southern softies don't like the stuff. 2:- Horror of all horrors it contained a hash brown, they're an abomination and have no place in a genuine English breakfast. That's just my opinion though.
I'd forgotten all about King Dick tools; I passed all mine on years ago when I could afford to buy new cars every three years.
Had to laugh about the Haynes manual comments, about 50 years ago I had a series 2 Landrover and had to change the ball joints on the steering rods, the manual said "undo and remove the ball joints" It forgot to mention the oxy acetylene torch, a vise, a large Stilston wrench and a hammer and chisel, happy days, keep them coming mate...
I know Allen, both observations correct, unfortunately black pudding wasn't an option and hash browns are a scourge of modern life .........but it was a top quality butcher's sausage and fried bread was an option ( that was chosen 😋)
My dear friend, you made what appeared to be a complex machine look simple to repair. For anyone attempting to carry out maintenance for themselves would find a great benefit following your videos because you have a natural ability to easily explain each methodical step. Do you find the Haynes manuals helpful? I know I did keeping cars on the road whilst bringing up my family of four boys.
Thank you very much Colin, i have used Haynes manuals over the years and have found them useful for giving you a general overview of the job being attempted ( they did have that classic line " now reassemble in the reverse order " which you normally found when you were sitting amongst a pile of disassembled machinery 😆). If they were available the American Clymer manuals tended to have more detail and better photos but the Haynes manuals were reasonably priced for the diy mechanic.
I frequently helped my Grandfather repairing and maintaining machinery. When it came to reassembling he would say by the time he finished he would probably have enough omitted parts left over to build another!
Hey there! I bought a 98 zx6r and i got into some problems after i changed out my camchain tensioner and my oil and filter… the bike wont idle properly when warm, it also just stalls sometimes, my idle adjuster knob is rusted to the max so i cant turn that up… and i was wondering where the hose thats coming from the back of the gastank goes to, maybe u could help me?
The hose from the back of the tank is the fuel filler drain so it just gets fed down the right hand side of the engine with the other drain tubes, i would advise trying to free the adjuster up ( or replace with a new one ) , with the tank and airbox off you should be able to work on it on the left hand side of the carbs.
Dear Sir, I wish to complain. It was almost more than I could stand to watch this poor man be tortured for nearly an hour! This is the kind of thing I would expect from those communists over at the BBC but not from Tweed's Garage. Sincerely, Arthur Twosheds.
He'll do anything for a good full English 😉
Communists over at the BBC? They seem to be sucking up to the Tories these days. Bring back Robin Day, that's what I say.

Bikes are where it's at Randy. Mrs By the Tracks will just have to learn to accept it! The JIS screws are interesting. I thought my 75 or 75 Kawasaki KT250 would have them but no dots on the screw heads and the bike manual and parts book both mention Phillips screws and drivers.
Hi, just had my carbs cleaned and balanced but my zx6r still running crap at low revs 🤷🏻 once on go it’s fine starts up no problem idle fluctuates slightly, maybe plugs or coils 🤷🏻
I’m lost now.
Cheers
First thing is to check you're running fresh fuel, modern unleaded starts going off after a couple of months in storage.
secondly when you had the carbs cleaned did they just remove the float bowls and blow the jets out or actually remove the primary jets and clean them ( I show the location on the video but didn't remove them as I´d done them before, they can get coated inside with a crystalline lacquer left by stale modern fuel if the bike isn't used much , I clear these with one of those micro drill sets, not drilling then but just gently passing increasing size drills through until you get one the same size as the jet, then just give it a gentle twist to remove any debris).
Thirdly a new set of plugs wouldn't hurt and do cause poor idle if they're a bit fouled up ( this was the fault with this bike ) .
I would say you're coils are probably fine, they would be more likely to cause misfires at greater loading / engine speeds.
These bikes need a good clear out on a regular basis to keep them running sweetly.
hope this helps.
I've watched it twice, but I still can't see any black pudding on that "decent" cooked breakfast!
Your weren't the only one........you have to make allowances as the cafe is in Surrey........i was lucky it wasn't garnished with pomegranate seeds and smashed avocado..
Hi i was wondering if you would be able to help me out with my 2002 zx6r it have a few lose wires i & i don’t know what they are for
Without seeing them its difficult but with the age of the bike it might be what remains of an alarm/immobiliser system that's been removed ( if everything else appears to work ) But for more of an idea follow the link below for the Kawasaki ZX6R manual in pdf form, the wiring diagrams are in the electrical system chapter
www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=www.moto4.ru/downloads/Kawasaki%2520Ninja%2520ZX6R%252000-02%2520Service%2520Manual.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiU8_GM9Y2EAxVp6wIHHXLcBAcQFnoECBgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2lTx8_ZhEtnwW00YVY1uo3
Thank you appreciate the diagram I kind of suck at them though honestly lol, if you ever get a chance to snap some pictures of the wiring that would be very appreciated, few different colored wires and I can’t figure out where they go some of them are missing a connector
The Haynes manual I have for the ZX6R has an annoying cock-up. In chapter 1 (routine servicing), for the fork oil change, it tells you to refer to chapter 6 (suspension). Which helpfully shows you how to completely rebuild the forks, but also has the unhelpful suggestion: for fork oil change only, refer to chapter 1. Aaaaargh!
Im afraid the new downloadable manuals ( which seems to be the way they are going ) are even worse, with huge swathes of information left out...... cherish the printed versions even if they are only occasionally helpful as the future is rubbish 😁
@@TweedsGarage Totally agree, I like to make notes in mine as I go along as I have a memory like a sieve.
You cant beat the Kawasaki factory workshop manual. I have one for the W650, they're fantastic.
Is this zx6 pretty much the same as a 1996 model zx6.
Thanks for the great video 😁
I don't deal with them much but i think the later ones moved the fuel pump and filter into the tank as is the common practice now.
#Teresa Garage does a 2004 kawasaki ninja zx have a fuel filter
If the fuel pump is in the tank the filter will be on top of the pump.
@@TweedsGarage thx
@@TweedsGarage yes it us thx
where can i get that haynes manual?
Try their website ( not sure of your location) haynes.com/en-gb/motorcycle-manuals-1
JIS - Japanese Industrial Standard screwdriver pattern. Get yourself a set.
Thats what those Vessel screwdrivers are Leon and bloomin good they are too, thanks for tuning in 👍
when taking the gas tank off turn the petcock off 😅😂
That’s the first thing I do 😅
i love this accent😂
Accent!........what accent? 😉
Hey bro can u put a link of the tools to use
Used the plug socket from the toolkit, 10mm and 8mm sockets and the screwdrivers are www.amazon.co.uk/Vessel-Megadora-2x100-2x150-Screwdriver/dp/B071SGNCSM/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=3A9VRLGINZB07&keywords=vessel+jis&qid=1702451881&sprefix=vessel+jis%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-4
Olá? Tenho uma moto dessa na mesma cor e modelo, 1999/2000.
Como é feita a regulagem da marcha lenta? Em quantos rpms? Obrigado.🇧🇷
RPM should be 1100 cold 1300 warm, if your bike has it, it is adjusted with the knob under the left hand side of the frame ( see video at 35.09 where I´m installing it back in it's position ) hope this helps.
@@TweedsGarage Obrigado pelas informações. Achei o regulador. 😀
Você sabe se para colocar o cabo do afogador é necessário remover os carburadores? O meu mecânico esqueceu de colocar o cabo.
@@eduardoguedesbh watch video around 31:00 minutes, you can see how the tick over adjuster attaches to the carburettor on the left hand side. You might be able to reach it without removing the carburettors but you will have to remove the tank for access.
@@TweedsGarage sim, esse é o regulador da marcha lenta. Eu vi no vídeo o que eu precisava. Realmente tem que remover o carburador para colocar o joke cable. O cabo fica no meio dos carburadores.
Hey what’s that piece call in front of the fuel pump ?
Those are the coil packs
That gray piece on side of the fuel pump?
I’m rebuilding a 2001 ZX 9R it has few missing pieces I’m trying to identify the part I don’t have
Do you have a email? I can email you some of the bike photos
Go to my channel, click on the "about" tab and you'll find my email there just under more info
Never use a power tool on screws into plastic, the frictional heat is enough to melt the plastic hence stripping & ruining the part
