Kawasaki ZX6R 125BHP Dynorun

[@YAMR1M]

You are the first one to call BS. We never BS power figures and our bikes win races and get featured on magazines so we have to be 100% accurate.

[@CBRboy1717]

Haha.... thanks for whoever gave a thumbs up to my last message! But now I'm driving 5 hours next weekend to pick up a mint condition titanium 2006.... the anticipation is killing me!!!

[@YAMR1M]

Andy the owner of the bike is keeping it. He has just done a trip through Germany and ridden the Nurburgring. That bike has been well looked after but is ridden very hard. I can vouch for the 160MPH+ chases on the Autobahns with him running the bike almost against the limiter for miles. It is one seriously quick ZX6R. I lapped 40 Seconds quicker than my R1 round the Ring on his ZX6R!

[@vrylcky]

I just got this bike in silver. It's a change from the Suzuki 2004 GSX-R I previously owned. It's a fun bike and its impressed me alot more then I though it would. I'm sure peeps do the no clutch up but its not something I would recommend.. if your asking how to do it you probably should be trying. Lucky

[@YAMR1M]

The bike was given a full warm up and shakedown on the Dyno. The Dyno guy did give it more use on the dyno than he may normally do but it is still the most powerful Stock motor 636cc ZX6R we have seen and that is fact. The footage is what it is so no appologies. An over enthusiastic dyno operator is one thing but power is power and this bike is seriously quick.

[@gwhitaker2006]

the gp bikes can go up and down gears without pulling in the clutch because they have quickshifters which are linked to the gear shifter, this engages the clutch as the gear shifter is lifted up...the clutch is still needed for smooth gear changes and to prevent excessive wear on the gearbox

[@CBRboy1717]

I have never been a Kawi fan at all... and especially not the 07/08's.. but goddamn that georgrous engine note alone would be enough for me to pick up a used 06' in the next few months!!!

[@twini84]

damn thats some serious revving. if that was my bike id be like at dentist

[@YAMR1M]

It is what you get used to. I do it on all my bikes and it is never a problem. But it does take some control.

[@ifeeldrunk151]

i must say, that was the most impressive sounding 6 I ever heard. I'm more into the 750 style bikes but theres only one brand in that class. Anyways, I was looking at getting a 6r. This video may have helped some with my decision eventhough this is a 636. If you have any vids for the 07 model, that would be cool to see.

[@YAMR1M]

I don't use the clutch in either direction and my little R1 has 29000 miles on the clock. It still shifts as sweetly as the day I bought the bike. Infact there are a few companies who do electronic gear shift controllers which will work both ways as well. It is more critical on down shifts but if you can do it correctly then there is no problem.

[@UebelBAM]

I have heard people saying this is one of the best bikes ever

[@YAMR1M]

That is so true. Why are we obsessed with dyno sheets if most of them are wrong? It is because most of them are not wrong!

[@YAMR1M]

In the UK it costs between £20 and £35. It depends on if they do all the measurements like mixture and RPM so you get a full check of how it is running or if you just want to know BHP as they don't have to spend time hooking up RPM Pickups and the dyno Lambda sensor.

[@YAMR1M]

I hate to say it but the bike really does have that much power. The GSXR600 I built has a genuine 120BHP and weighs a real 153Kg ready to ride. The Kawi 636 was really quick on stock gearing and has been tested again and was 124.8 BHP.

[@phdjharmacist]

i swear, i would LOVE that job.

[@Markbiker21]

My god very cool sound and beatiful bike

[@dimonkfish]

WO! Most powerful 636 in the UK..me thinks! Awesome sound and power. Who is that muppet in the background? Oh its me! HA HA. Cheers to Richard at P3 unlimited for supplying the TI Force exhaust.

[@YAMR1M]

The guy is a very experienced dyno tester and works with some of the top BSB teams. Richie I am sorry I have not dealt with TiForce for a while so I am not sure of what they still have for this bike. The full factory spec Leo Vince will be good and so will the works spec Arrow exhaust.. But it needs to be a full race one not just one from the catalogue. Arata may do one too which is the one I would look at if it were my bike....

[@YAMR1M]

The dyno room has a powered fan with ducting to aim it into a specific area. It is not 100% but works well enough.

[@motoAWX]

great sound..

[@NinjaTTT]

We speak enough...all you need is just to listen to music behind the wheel and the heard I'm riding....

[@Chuckmeister92]

geez that thing revs high. makes my bike sound like a lawn mower.

[@YAMR1M]

I was in the dyno room at the time. It is not my bike so I am not playing at bar stool racing. I have seen ones with more tuning running 135BHP+ with no problems.

[@xXturbo86Xx]

agreed ;) unfortunately in Greece there's no racetrack. or at least big enough to redline and enjoy this baby... :( only on the highway.

[@YAMR1M]

It is a 636. We have had a 2007 ZX10R but do not have any video of it one the dyno. We expect to see between 173 and 185BHP from a ZX10R on the dyno depending on spec. The best I have seen is 224BHP at the wheel of a BSB Superbike built by Ray Stringer.

[@the0wisp]

Thanks, it hit 121 to the wheel on the graphic and 44 par

[@YAMR1M]

This engine was still running strong several years later when the bike was sold. It may sound brutal but the bike would hit the limiter with the rider on it and it was always a very very strong motor.

[@steve1256d]

i agree these are the best looking bikes in the 600 class, or any class for that matter

[@YAMR1M]

It is a mates bike and he was watching as you can see in the window of the dyno room. He rides it as hard as most so he was not worried about this video.

[@YAMR1M]

It is a full system. It was a shock at how much power we got! I expected about 118BHP with possibly 120BHP after fitting a power commander. But it was powerful straight out of the box! I think we might get 127 with a bit more dyno time....Hopefully!

[@HalJurgensen]

@hfisher352 They have ECU shifters. Its the thing he presses to the left in the beginning

[@the0wisp]

Great Vid, Great Job man. Keep the good work. My congratulations from Spain. I own a 636, with Two Brothers exhaust, K&N and tomorrow i will have a graphic table with the Power & Comander III on it. How many BHP to the wheel should have Aprox? Thanks alot guys :)

[@CBRboy1717]

@Mistreatedxxx My buddy has that exact same bike. Things to look for.... the fairing stays strip REALLY easy. Make sure all of them look in good condition. If not, its hard to get to some of the components. (the positive battery terminal is half way under the gas tank, which must be removed to get to it.) Watch for hairline cracks forming along the front fairing too.

[@YAMR1M]

No.... It is japanese but as we have had supply and manufacturing problems I am not passing on the name of the manufacturer. There will however be a new supplier which has found more power than this one produces and we have helped them develop this new improved exhaust. I will post up info soon!

[@RippinSkullz]

this video makes me want to cry i want to save the bike.

[@vardypeeps]

Sounds nice but do dyno guys have to clutchless shift? Don't agree wih that

[@Mistreatedxxx]

I'm in the same boat as you, although a month+, still waitin till it gets warmer :-\. 06 636 3k miles for 4500, blue, not green.

[@YAMR1M]

It was an exhaust we had from our supplier. As I have been messed about by them I have removed reference to the manufacturer. But there will be a new better Full Titanium system with Carbon can available very soon! Expect even more power!!!

[@CHOPERUS23]

Hello, i would like to ask what has been done to the engine on that zx6r? Mine is stock with a scorpion exhaust, what is the first modification I should look to be getting done to the engine to improve low-mid range throttle response/power. Many Thanks

[@Soberglitch]

stop saying that the bike go abused....its not abusing the bike, this is what the engine was made for and this is the only way to properly dyno test a bike

[@YAMR1M]

The wire jump is not needed in Europe as we get the full power bike anyway. Some UK magazines like Fast Bikes do post 1 mile times and speeds. I am not sure how this would be against current 600's but it will be quicker over the mile. Most new 600's are less than 110BHP at the wheel anyway and this is a lot more powerful than stock.

[@plasticsman10]

sound mate thanks, do yhey give you a print out do you know? thanks for your reply

[@Ninja8492]

Engine... R.I.P

[@marioncobretti2407]

Ninja8492 how?

[@YAMR1M]

I hope that you get some good power out of the bike. Let us know what you get and post a clip of the bike on the Dyno if you can.

[@racefactory900]

Way better than any of the 07 and later shit! That is a nice pipe man, did you guys engineer it?

[@MichaelZx636]

Did you switch to HID lights if so where did you get them?

[@richynsaunders]

I can only find the double ti force exhaust for this bike, will it make the same power? Or do you know of another exhaust that will match or make more bhp? cheers

[@YAMR1M]

It's a mates 06 model. I have ridden it and it is stupidly quick for a ZX6R!!

[@Polite27]

yea i have an 02 636 red with 6,000miles for 3500 i got it for mint condition with racing clutch and lots of other upgrades ill put a video on soon

[@YAMR1M]

Not bad... 60 MPH seems a bit of a random speed but they are fine and we have ridden from the UK over to Germany to go the the Nurburgring and back with no comfort problems. But we did do more the 60MPH most of the time and more like 160MPH some of the time on at Autobahn.

[@TimHaskins]

Im still waiting on my dyno dream video where the chain / clamps fail and it turns into a disappearing act rocketing somebody through a brick wall. Somebody give me a yell if you run across one. lol. Just joking (sorta) nice tune dude.

[@danielpy85]

hey there. i have a 05 636 getting a TiForce full titanium race systen, K&N filter, power comander and air filter box induckts i think there called. gonna get it dyno tested i a while, how much do u think i can get outa my bike then??

[@friesngravy]

@YAMR1M also the fact that the rated horsepower is rated at the crank..which would be roughly 125..it's not that they lie..it's the fact that they do not produce wheel horsepower figures..it also depends on the dyno used

[@YAMR1M]

I am not biased between bikes and generally have no favourites. The Kawasaki IS better than most people give it credit for and with the best part of 125BHP pushing forward it would take a well tuned 600cc Bike to beat it in a straight line.

[@YAMR1M]

It is not me....The guy builds BSB bikes and was doing it for affect on video... Not good but the bike still lives and give very good power.

[@jamb0y]

what have you done to it? i've got the new zx6r p7f full micron race pc111 custom map i'm getting 119bhp

[@DSMeclipsegst]

636 right? im bout to get one in 16days i hope and i cant wait

[@mimito92]

does he shift the gears without the clutch????

[@Persojet]

that is what it's build for ;)

[@YAMR1M]

Amandelx ??WHO?? Me,dyno operator or one of the guys who took time to reply? The bike puts out the power posted and of all the bikes I have seen which have been tested on this dyno they all fall in 1% of the numbers from Dynojet UK as we had a Suzuki GSXR600 K6 with 116BHP which seems high so we took it to Dynojet HQ in the UK and it was 115BHP. The guy there has also run numerous bikes from Rhencullen and they ALL fall very close to the baseline set by Dynojet.

[@YAMR1M]

I did not say it was cheap and I deal with BSB teams as well as some of the best tuners in the UK. We have a Triumph 675 with 134BHP and a TenKate Honda with 142BHP. The dyno's they use are all well sorted and do not show more than a couple of BHP difference on a bike we know puts out a relaible BHP figure on the UK Dynojet importers own dyno.

[@YAMR1M]

The 636cc bike is brilliant. I prefer it to the 07 ZX6R bike and I have ridden both.... The GSXR 750 is not really my thing as I know I can lap quicker on the GSXR600 at most tracks and my R1 is better over longer distances. 600's are just about fun and revving the hell out of them.. The 750 is a good bike but I still prefer a 600 or close to 600 for fun and a litre bike for pure speed!

[@YAMR1M]

The guy was running it like that both to set it up AND because it was being filmed. A bike being raced would sound like that and he ran the bike hard so you guys could see and hear what it would be like on the road.

[@YAMR1M]

I have never seen 140BHP from a 636. I have never actually seen anyone go for a full supersport tune on one to be honest. But the motor will give good power if tuned.

[@YAMR1M]

No I have not seen too many vids of the 07 bike but I have tested one with a Magazine. They are very good on the track and have a good top speed but they do suffer under acceleration. The CBR can beat it easily under acceleration and I raced a CBR against the ZX6 in a 1 mile drag race for a magazine and the Honda won every time. But on the track there is very little difference and is almost impossible to split them.

[@botchalism]

yep, you gonna give me props or what!?

[@Mandelbiten]

Inertia or break dyno?

[@Honk_Clank]

MTC exhaust?

[@YAMR1M]

They will be the 600cc bikes. TenKate are running 140BHP+ out of their customer CBR600RR's and the World Supersport 600's are closer to 150BHP now.

[@d3cpt]

sounds quiet!!! can it go louder?

[@RocketRaspeed]

What exhaust is one that bike??

[@xtrajently]

@YAMR1M If the stock Kawa636 puts out 114rwhp then I willing to bet that this dyno is very optimistic..Many dynos run a bit high but not as much as this one..

[@YAMR1M]

In the UK the 636 has to race against the open class bikes. It is not allowed in the 600 class races.

[@juicer404]

nice kwak mate, 05 is it?

[@jburndawg]

At the crank i guess? Most dynos i have seen of Gixxer 600s and R6's etc have about 100, 105, 110 ish (at the wheel).

[@jamjmp0723]

I'm pretty sure the bikes are 131-132 bhp that are running on the circuit. That's with tons of money poured in to them they're like 40-50k dollar bikes.

[@plasticsman10]

does anyone know how much it costs to have your bike tested on a dynorun?

[@Arlind86]

r u new at riding? u can only let go of the throttle and it will kick in gear right up

[@YAMR1M]

No....It really is at the wheel. See the GSXR 600 video I posted. The bike is over in Germany at the moment going for a lap record round a really big famous track and we plan to get that one to lap quicker then almost all of the 1000cc bike times. With head work and more compression we could have gone higher.

[@YAMR1M]

The motor is stock. Just full system and a fully mapped power commander.

[@elephantcup]

Every rev he did was part of the dyno run. It's not just a matter of revving it once and calling it a day. He's watching the screen in front of him for cues from the program telling him when to rev. Yes, you have to rev the crap out of the bike before the run to "blow out the cobwebs", and get it up to operating temp. A cold bike will make crappy power. Ever run a super sport bike on the track? Constant redline, no big deal. They're built to run that at redline all day and not complain.

[@essegeo]

It is loaded, it has a driver which presses on the heavu dyno roller.

[@YAMR1M]

They are standard on the UK spec bikes.

[@YAMR1M]

No....It is the 636. The ZX10R run we have seen had 185BHP at the wheel!

[@YAMR1M]

I think it is just habit.... I am not the guy in the video but I never use the clutch either up or down the box on the road. I have done that for 20 odd years and never had a problem......It harks back to my racing days.

[@YAMR1M]

Not if it is done right. Racers have shifted clutchless for years and even before quickshifters they did it this way. If you are good then you can change up and down the box without the clutch. But this is not reccomended. So up shifts are OK and not hard to do but down shifts are best left unless you practice on a bike you are not worried about wrecking the gearbox.

[@TheNaturalWayFullCircle]

that's not the purpose of a slipper clutch. the slipper is made to prevent rear wheel slide when downshifting to get into a turn. the clutch slips a little so the wheel doesnt.

[@mojavedude250]

every dyno is different, you may calc 110 on one while 105 on another

[@otownFLA]

How can you say that when its not even in the same 600cc class? It has an extra 36cc compaired to other 600's...

[@YAMR1M]

My mate has it at home.

[@xXturbo86Xx]

dude can u message me the name of the pipe?

[@YAMR1M]

It is a Ti Force exhaust.

[@vardypeeps]

We will let him off then :) Don't want to do clutchless shifts on my bandit 98 the gear box would fall out or I would have a nice present next time I change my oil.

[@franciovasco]

wuwuwuwuwwuwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@KARTRACE9]

at the end hes doing it right otherwise he was just showing off for what reason we will never know all the shifting is useless omg

[@YAMR1M]

Dynojet Dynos should all be within 1-2% of each other so even at 150 BHP it should be no more than 3BHP out....Unless the operator has played with correction factors to make his bikes look more powerful.

[@maxspain46]

i know it sound stupid but ive done it on my 110 cc fym ( kinda mini pit bike but it goes over 100 kmh) and ive done upshifting cluthlessy and no probs HOwever going down is tottaly diferent lol cos you gotta get revs up will going down the gears lol its harder than people think xd . like you coment ;)

[@OnTheRocks08]

i guess he knows what hes doing lol

[@rucna]

what a job...... where can i apply...lol
