2019 ZX6R M4 Exhaust Install and Servo Buddy

In this video of the 2019 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R I show how to:
Remove the OEM exhaust and converter
Install the new M4 Street Slayer Exhaust slip on
Remove the servo motor from under second seat
Remove the servo cables
Install Servo Buddy
Remove the passenger pegs
I ordered the M4 Exhaust from Ebay from a reputable seller of M4 and the Servo Buddy from AMAZON.

Bro, this is the video I was looking for, I just replaced the exhaust on mine.. thanks so much buddy, you made it look way simpler, great content, very informative and very funny at the same time. Ride safe and keep up the good work! 🙏🏻💯😎🔥🤙🏻♥️

[@Bennyrogue]

I am so glad the video helped you out! And I appreciate the positive feedback my guy. I try to keep the mood light in my vids. Everyone is always so serious 🙄. Ride safe!

[@tatted530]

Does your bike shoot flames with the converter off? And this setup?

[@Bennyrogue]

Not that I've ever seen.

[@stephenschneider4428]

Yo for some reason your video makes this seem way less complicated than everyone else's. I'm going to buy a 23 636 in a week or two and obviously the first thing need be done is the exhaust!

[@Bennyrogue]

Well thank you! I appreciate that 🙏. Congrats on te new bike when you get it and ride safe!

[@Bowhdiddley]

This is the best video of this exhaust installation on KZbin right now. I watched several videos on this before ordering an M4 GP19 exhaust, and saw this video when refreshing on the install instructions. These instructions are thorough and I like that you kept in the part with the stuck bolts. Excellent work here!

[@Bennyrogue]

Thank you very much. I'm glad it helped you out. I like keeping the real world problems in my videos. No one shows the problems they face when installing. 👊

[@jackboehm5756]

Is it really a cat convertor though or a sound resonator? I've heard people say the cat is up in the headers

[@Bennyrogue]

@@jackboehm5756 pre- muffler. Not Cat. I was mistaken

[@SalvadorCostabile-tk1bk]

Can't believe M4 made such an ugly looking exhaust 😢

[@Bennyrogue]

That was my first thought 😔. Most of the options for exhausts were hideous.

[@abtinz7127]

Works for 24 zx6r as well if anyone is wondering

[@Bennyrogue]

Thank you for taking the time to post this! I would have been wondering as well.

[@musicalincomptence7135]

So I had an exhaust fall off and I’m trying to figure out where to get that inside ring the the exhaust bolt goes through to mount properly

[@Bennyrogue]

You might be able to go thru the diagrams on "Partzilla.com" to buy a replacement.

[@papinhatzzz5621]

Did you happen to find a replacement on that inside ring sir? Got the same issue lol

[@ROBSOLUTELY]

Always good to see a new video by you. Exhaust sounds damn good!!

[@Bennyrogue]

Thank you so much! I'm trying to make new content but man it's harder than I ever thought it would be.

[@lightsoutN1SMO]

Nice tutorial dude! Did you ever get an ecu flash or is your bike still performing the same after the install?

[@Bennyrogue]

I really haven't noticed any difference. No flash yet.

[@boringkhaos]

This was a great tutorial video on actually changing parts on an actual bike I was beginning to think I was in my own world where everyone I see anymore doesn't really seem to use their bikes and definitely don't work on their own. So that was awesome to see. I don't want to be that guy trying to correct but just letting you and anyone else that sees this the loctite you used is for plumbing threads in order to keep moisture out when working liquid or air. Thread locker would probably work better for vibration. Again I'm not trying to start anything just informing. I've subbed I enjoyed the video!

[@Bennyrogue]

Thank you for watching and subbing. I really appreciate the constructive criticism. Any information that will help improve myself and others is much appreciated. 👍. I honestly did not know about the locktite. I just used what I had laying around. Great tip.

[@boringkhaos]

@Benny I respect that I hate to be correcting but like I told my fiance the last thing I wanna see are bikes falling apart going down the road because they're using the wrong one lol. Stay safe and keep putting out good videos!

[@Bennyrogue]

@@boringkhaos I appreciate that. I assumed all loctites were basically the same. I'll do more research next time. I am going to be throwing on some non cut frame sliders. I assume I'll need loctite on those as well.

[@Bennyrogue]

Congrats!! Awesome! You won't be disappointed 👊👊

[@HamzaShams_]

What does the servo motor even do ? Are there any drawbacks to removing it ?

[@Bennyrogue]

In a nutshell, the servo moto opens and closes a butterfly valve in the exhaust to control noise at lower rpms and very high rpms. The bike manufacturers will say it's to create back pressure at lower rpms to create more torque at lower speeds but I guess from what I've read that's BS. It's all about keeping the bike more quiet.

[@HamzaShams_]

@Bennyrogue Ah thanks for the great explanation brother. Loved watching the video start to finish

[@Bennyrogue]

@HamzaShams_ thank you! 😁

[@Nolanstrongman]

I haven’t gotten through the video yet but the intro is amazing, man your funny so if you like making videos keep making them we will be here to watch them🤣

Thank you very much! 👊👊

[@ecocurpy]

Hello! Excelent video! Can you please share the link to buy the servo buddy from amazon? I have a zx6r 2020. I dont want to buy the wrong one. Thanks!!

[@Bennyrogue]

I'm sorry but I purchased my servo buddy from Ebay and I can no longer find the sellers page 😬

[@ecocurpy]

@@Bennyrogue I understand. I just bought one from Amazon, it says it can be used pretty much on every zx6r 2014 and forward. So I imagine I should be fine. Anyways thanks a lot for the video and the reply!!

[@Bennyrogue]

@SMSEBA18 absolutely! Glad you watched it 👊

[@Young937phoenix]

I’m about to get the same bike 19 zx6r in the same color but it has a TOCE exhaust and I hate the way it looks so I will be getting the street slayer for it for sure.

[@Bennyrogue]

Excellent!. Just don't smash your knuckles off the bike like I did trying to undo those bolts 😆

[@DonSycuan]

Can you explain what the “NOTE LAMBDA sensor plug sold separately” on the website means for these headers ?? Did it come complete with everything you need or did you need to buy that part

[@Bennyrogue]

I have no clue. The exhaust I bought was just the slip on exhaust with a mounting screw. That's it. I had to buy the "servo buddy" separate but that's it.

[@marlattmotos]

Quick question. I wanna do a full exhaust, but I have a tip I MUST have. However, it's the only one they offer that doesn't also come in a full system😅 if I buy a Graves header, do I also need to find a mid-pipe somewhere?🤨

[@Bennyrogue]

That's a great question! I honestly don't know. I went the easy route and just swapped the can. 😬.

[@rdbreno559]

not sure why you would buy a servo buddy, just leave the oem one there after you pull the cables off and save yourself some money...🤷 just my opinion...

[@Bennyrogue]

It looks a lot cleaner. And it gives me some storage space under that back seat. 👌

[@abtinz7127]

So I don’t need the servo buddy just leave the stock thing in there?

[@rdbreno559]

@@abtinz7127 just disconnect the cables, and leave it...👍

[@ernestoantonio3496]

Do you have the link of the servo buddy ? I tried looking on Amazon but can’t find the same you bought

[@Bennyrogue]

I bought it on EBay. I don't see it on EBay now but Revzilla has it. Good site secure. www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/servo-buddy-kawasaki-suzuki?gclid=CjwKCAjw_uGmBhBREiwAeOfsd2DtJ0aSRZpRQIQPiYgVxQBpMhUAGAOziyDd5Q1xF8E94IwpLIdOVRoC4zkQAvD_BwE&sku_id=978258

[@zoocn4673]

Did removing the secondary cat (breadbox) improve the sound any?

[@Bennyrogue]

I think so although I didn't test with it on.

[@mattguyersdronevideos2262]

Thanks so much for this video! Super helpful and funny too🤣

[@Bennyrogue]

Thank you! I'm glad someone appreciates my humor 😆

[@DustinEnus]

So you don’t actually have to get a tune or flash when you do slip ons?

[@Bennyrogue]

Correct! Some motor heads might argue but you do not. You may be able to improve your bike a little with a flash job but it's not needed. If you take off the entire pipe it is recommended.

[@kaceysilva22]

I ordered the M4 GP which is pretty much the brother exaust. The installation looks rather exact considering they are the same brand and both slip on. Do you know ?

[@Bennyrogue]

I did not know. Lol

[@randykitzler4598]

Whats up man, I just did the same thing on my 2021 ZX6R. Are you in Ohio?

[@Bennyrogue]

Oh awesome! Yeah I'm in Ohio.

[@iveyfaganjr605]

I love stickers too. If I buy something, and theres no stickers, I'm pissed! Put I put mine on everything. Pisses my wife off but I don't care! Great vid bro!

[@Bennyrogue]

Haha! Yes! I use to put monster energy stickers on everything! My microwave still has one on it lmao.

[@stevensadder5437]

Can't wait hear that coming down the road!!!!

[@Bennyrogue]

😅 you and everyone else 🤣 I'll keep the insert in for now lol.

[@kaceysilva22]

What is the point of tuning the bike after an exaust and is it necessary ??

[@Bennyrogue]

When you change the exhaust you change the flow rate wich can cause your bike to run lean. I only added a slip on not an entire exhaust swap. If you were to swap the entire exhaust then it is recommended to get a tune up to make sure the air/fuel mix is correct to exhaust flow. I'm still debating getting a power commander and tuning mine myself.

[@mr.600class2]

Brothaman I had the same issue cracking that bolt under there. Had to get my neighbor to come over and use the big guns..lol 💪🏾🤣

[@Bennyrogue]

No reason for that to be that tight 😅

[@wiscoSTi]

does the exhaust come with instructions or is it just a go and diy

[@Bennyrogue]

Tube in a box. Unless they changed that lol.

[@mvirtuos]

I had the same problem with this screw XD really had to get smth big I love how you went from.. woa.... woah .... WOW ... same as I did with my dad

[@Bennyrogue]

😅. It's crazy how tight some factory bolts are! And like I showed, the rear peg bolts came right out. Like that's safe. 👌 😆

[@TheRomanShow1]

So you removed the catalytic converter?

[@Bennyrogue]

No. The cat is located in the header pipe. I just took out the muffler and "pre muffler". If I said "cat" I was mistaken.

[@TheRomanShow1]

@@Bennyrogue no I don’t think you did, I just looked up the 6R cat on google and it looked like that box you took out.

[@Bennyrogue]

@chrisroman5586 from what I understand, there are a lot of companies calling the pre muffler the cat but everything I've read says that pretty much all cats are located in line in the header pipe just before the pipe splits into 4 sections.

[@TheRomanShow1]

@@Bennyrogue awesome thank you so much for replying fast, also I saw a comment where you said the bike was acting weird after install? Still happening?

[@Bennyrogue]

@chrisroman5586 nope. Must have had to just re adjust. But it's running great! Thanks for asking. 👊👊

[@asdfasfaf]

Do you need to tune or flash after a slip on? I thought you only need to if you do an entire exhaust change.

[@Bennyrogue]

I was told that you should if you take the converter off which I did. If you just put a slip-on on and leave that converter then you should be ok.

[@asdfasfaf]

@@Bennyrogue Does the converter being on muffle the sound more? I just ordered my M4 and Servo Buddy and note sure if the converter makes a big difference

[@Bennyrogue]

@@asdfasfaf the m4 only bolts on to the bike if you take the converter off. There's no way to mount the slip-on on if you leave the converter on. And I'm pretty sure the sound will be louder without the converter.

[@asdfasfaf]

@@Bennyrogue Sweet thanks. Sorry for the questions. First sport bike coming from a Harley.

[@Bennyrogue]

@@asdfasfaf absolutely no problem. Anytime. Ride safe!

[@kadenatkinson8526]

Is the servo mandatory or does it just matter if you care about looking at the check engine light

[@Bennyrogue]

From what I gather, it only matters if you don't like the check engine light.

[@SmokeyTheBear00]

You can leave your servo connected electrically but you can take out the control wires without throwing a code.

I am pretty sure that there is no ABS but there definitely is a quick shifter that came stock.

[@fernandonando366]

yes, but the strange thing is that the abs sensor can be seen on the wheels, but when you turn the key the abs warning light does not come on, it is strange

[@Bennyrogue]

@Fernando Nando I'll have to look into it cause I have no clue lol. There was a previous owner that dumped it then traded it in. That's why my plastics are broke in places. Maybe something happened to the brakes idk.

Get a re-flash asap. You won’t regret it. Your bike will pull harder, and run much better. Maybe grab some headers next.
