After doing the kawasaki test ride, the 2022 zx6r has to be the best bike I've ever experienced, small, lightweight, and easy!! 🤩💯💯💯

[@mikewolf394]

I have the 23 zx and 22 650. Got the 650 in February of 22 and now it has nearly 9k miles. Zx was in October of 22 and it has almost 7k. I commute with the Zx more because the bent over position feels more comfortable to me for some reason, plus the suspension. 650 is more whippy and what I picture a motorcycle to be. 636 is more planted and stable. My girl now commutes with the 650 and now she wants to customize and ride everyday. They’re extremely different though so test ride. I do start to get tired on the 636 after 3 hours. Just my opinion.

[@CraneTiger2]

I have a 2021 ZX-6R and I absolutely love it. There is no quick shift down, only up. The only issue I've faced is frequent false neutrals that cause the gearbox to grind, which can be a severe issue, and the quickshifter getting stuck occasionally. I ordered a FactoryPro shift star kit to potentially fix this issue. I have a Moore Mafia flash that resolved the heavy lurch in engine braking that made the throttle substantially not smooth during turns. Other than that, it's excellent and you really don't need any more power for the street. 165 mph top speed is plenty! UPDATE: I had to file a claim against FactoryPro because they were not responding to calls or emails and they hadn't shipped the product in months.

[@TylerTroutman]

i have the same issue with my 2022 ninja 400 with the false neutrals and the gearbox has grinded on me at least once. do you also have an issue with 6th gear slipping back down to 5th sometimes?

[@CraneTiger2]

@@TylerTroutman I've had that maybe once or twice but not too often.

[@inkzilla]

Happened to me also a few times on my 2023 so most of the time from 1rst to 2nd use the clutch then all the way up quick shift.

[@ridepastu1418]

Rear-sets with GP shift eliminates almost all false neutrals. Shifting is more deliberate, doesn’t allow you to lazy shift. Makes more sense leaned over as opposed to curling your foot/toe under the shifter while leaned over. Also, the bikes electronics won’t allow you to accidentally shift normal pattern, so no worries of a catastrophic error

[@avi8r944]

Yeah, my 2021's quickshifter is not the best. A lot of times it doesn't work the 1st time i got to shift up so I've missed a lot of shift cues. Its sometimes not smooth in any gear above 3rd. Might go aftermarket. Everything else is lovely.
