2024 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Oil Change / Start to Finish / Do It Yourself $45

[@jasper8484]

my favorite solution to the oil filter draining is a paper towel roll cut right up the middle - fits just perfect and works everytime :)

[@lovelivegofast]

Oh that's good, I love that idea 👍

[@mrviphd7307]

You honestly deserve waaay more views bro, your videos are incredibly usefull and very well made. You give us lots of handy information and you bring it in a nice and understandable way, you can tell you love this bike :) +1 Sub from The Netherlands ;)

[@lovelivegofast]

Thank you very much!

[@williamfigueroa4964]

I've owned ZX6r for years, that's such a poor design from Kawasaki, the only complaint I have about ZX6r, it's messy, also with these bikes you want to fill that new oil filter up before install, they are known to sometimes start knocking when you don't prime it. Put a rag on the end of the exhaust to muzzle the noise a bit and listen to the engine, make sure you're good. Best of luck with your beautiful machine.

[@spr5033]

You're like the Linus Tech Tips of the motorcycle world. Thanks so much for these videos, just got my 40th anniversary zx6r.

[@lovelivegofast]

Thanks man! Hopefully they help ya out with stuff. Great bikes 👍

[@rebelmehdi]

pretty straight forward no time wasted

[@rocketleauge540]

Totally

[@peteroleynik4782]

Paper plate works awsome to funnel things out. Stick it under the oem plastic lip and youll leak zero oil.

[@footballa57]

My first oild change was at 600miles... from there itll be at 5k, 10k, 15k, etc... but thats just me. Im sure you cant go wrong with doing it at 7600miles. Great video!!!

[@40thzx6]

did my 2nd at 2600

[@thomasbelcher6469]

Great and too the point my first oil change went perfectly. Thank You!

[@lovelivegofast]

Great to hear!

[@Bobisdeadrun]

keep it up man !!

[@lovelivegofast]

Will do! 👍

[@slowsloth2519]

Have you owned any other supersports in the past? How does this compare? Would love a video on comparing the zx6r with other bikes! Great video, like all the other ones

[@lovelivegofast]

Yeah this is my 63rd bike. Owned pry 15 super sports and then used to work at a dealership so would ride all kinds of super sports through them. Every brand, every model. This is just one of the best middleweights you could possibly buy. So refined and the zx6r has been around for over 20 years. It is perfected in my opinion

[@kylebaine2901]

For the next oil change, they have moldable funnels at Walmart for super cheap, found that out after my first oil change as well. Saves you alot of time and oil from getting all over the bike

[@Introcex]

Great and educational content right here. Love that. That help me so much

[@lovelivegofast]

Thank you very much man! 👍

[@Brodesky]

Careful with using the nut on those filters to tighten them. The manufacturer says to hand tighten and only use the nut to loosen as they can be a point of failure. Otherwise, great video!

[@TheRealJohnMadden]

Ahh yes, long form content, the only way content should be! Excellent video and beautiful bike! Subbed

[@ACE-tr1df]

My mechanic recommends oil change on my ZX6R every 2,200 miles. I have over 3,000 miles now. I feel 2,200 is too early. But I still visit as they also check the bike so if something else is off they can fix it as I only know how to ride and know nothing about maintenance.

[@lovelivegofast]

Of course the person who makes money when you bring your bike in is going to try to get you in the door as often as they can. 1 years time or 5,000 miles should be just fine 👍

[@vinnymigliore2810]

gotta use that Motul 7100 your engine oil is the heart I'm not putting cheap oil in and plus I get more miles out of it. 47k and 5k miles change i could go 7k but i feel good with 5k

[@ohwellsam]

Nice oil change❤

[@lovelivegofast]

Thanks man 👍

[@patmc4089]

Dude you are awesome thank you so much for saving me money and making it seem easy which it was because of your help. And yes I have that exact bike and its so much fun, good choice brother.

[@lovelivegofast]

Awesome man! 👍

[@KaramelKing07]

If you havent tried Japanese beer give Aasahi or Sapporo a try next time.

[@ColeNutting]

great vid, thc

[@lovelivegofast]

[@Zx6r_Kidd]

Love your videos! You taught me so much on how to do some basic work and also adding a slip on to my 24’ zx6r! This is my first super sport and was wondering if you plan on making a video on how to do a coolant flush?

[@lovelivegofast]

Well Kawasaki recommends the first coolant flush and change at 22,800 miles. It's going to be awhile before I have that many miles on mine. How many miles do you have on yours?

[@itzallmenixon318]

Please always put some oil in your oil filter before just putting it on

[@chappi9131]

Should lean the bike on its right side a little bit to drain the oil out of the oil filter

[@jeanmilaalvarez]

Superbe ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ vidéo merci

[@lovelivegofast]

👍😎

[@TheRichellis79]

Funny that the filter says it’s not compatible with our bikes 🤷🏻‍♂️ oh well, still gunna send it

[@LukeJukeDuke]

I'm watching this again in a couple years. Gotta save up the money first for the actual bike.

[@BustahNutt]

I’ve done 3 oil changes on my bike and I’ve never put the 3.3 Quarts the manual says. I have to put a little under 3 Quarts. The first oil change I did put the 3.3 quarts and the oil covered the whole sight glass even after warming up the bike and going for a ride. I had to get a syringe and extract oil to get it to the right level.

[@FrauStormm]

did you add oil to the filter before putting it on??

[@BustahNutt]

@@FrauStormm no. I never add oil to the filters

[@FrauStormm]

@@BustahNutt well it is recommended. i changed my oil on saturday and put around 3.3 quarts in and my oil is just below the 2nd line after letting her warm up. not sure why your 2024 would be any different unless you’re not completely draining the oil when you change it. i almost forgot to unscrew the oil fill cap when i changed it and that definitely makes a difference.

[@stonemove4207]

didn't you have to do this break-in oil change service from the Kawasaki manufacturer ? At least I had to do that here in Quebec to save my warranty !! anyways, great video Thank you for sharing !! I'm looking forward to next spring to do my oil change myself with the help of your video :)

[@HVACOG]

How do you feel about dealer 600 mile inspection? Not necessary?

[@geman741]

mechanical noob here, how exactly do you set those socket wrenches to the needed foot lbs?

[@ZACHE04]

Hey lovely video! Any issues with the filter at high rev? Some say with K&N they fail at high rev with this line of bikes.

[@lovelivegofast]

Haven't heard that, no problems with mine 👍

[@theprodigal7143]

Hi, what style break in did you do, and how did the oil look? I'm doing "as you normally would ride" and I have 400 miles on it. I've read some peeps will do oil change well before the 600mile. Seems you don't think that's necessary, which I'd be happy with cos I'd have to hide doing it at my apartment, lol. But still want to ask if I'd benefit if I did now and do the 600 at the dealer for warranty issues, thanks 😊

[@summetboss727]

Fun fact it’s the same size as a Toyota filter

[@kierakara69]

Its the weirdest oil filter position… Kawasaki should re-position this

[@lovelivegofast]

Yes agreed, the bottom of the engine is what most other manufacturers do. Not Kawi 😑

[@pattycastorpatterson782]

Only hand tight use wrench only to take off

[@TravisandAudreaMoore]

What do you use to clean this bike i got the same one and im scared to mess my paint up

[@kidlo2050]

$45 mine costed $83😂

[@RayCray937]

It says on amazon where it says (make sure this fits) that it doesnt fit the 24. Is that a mistake on amazons end?

[@lovelivegofast]

Yes it is a mistake for Amazon. I think they haven't updated part numbers for the 2024 zx6r yet

[@RayCray937]

@@lovelivegofast Thats what i figured. I have the same bike as you color and all and watched the exhaust change video and it literally worked to a T so i trust your videos and information and Went ahead and ordered based on the quality of past info you provided on the exhaust. Thanks for the reply brother and stay safe!

[@Vumdar]

Is that filter K&N 303? For 2024

[@lovelivegofast]

Yes correct 👍

[@mauriciotostado63]

What exhaust is this on the bike? Is it a slip? Brand?

[@lovelivegofast]

I've got links in the description to the exhaust and link pipe 👍

[@jakevicenzi2021]

The K&N filter says it doesn’t fit when I click on the link. You sure that’s the right one? I have 2024 zx6r 40th anniversary edition???!

[@lovelivegofast]

Yes it's correct, I don't know if Amazon has updated there site yet for the 2024 zx6r parts, but the KN-303 is what you need 👍

K&N has not even updated this on there site. Although they do seem to work

Is there still an oil change light?

In your menu's on the dash you can scroll down to the maintenance section and make adjustments

[@CorbinWilliams-sw3ui]

Did you tune your bike? I’m running the same exhaust

[@lovelivegofast]

I still haven't tuned it

[@luaalshaikh5037]

@@lovelivegofastshould I tune the bike after exhaust install and ecu flash? Dealer told me ecu should be after tune but seen you haven’t tuned yours yet.

[@lovelivegofast]

You can get an ECU flash, or have it Dyno tuned. You won't do both. A flash is a tune, just more generic. A Dyno tune is to your specific machine. If you want a little more out of it, get a flash/tune, if ur content with it, then don't bother 👍
