KAWASAKI ZX6R 2019 - 2023 CHAIN AND SPROCKET { BETTER THAN O.E.M. }

[@tricky_d1672]

Thx for the vid. Gotta ‘19 zx-6r and I want to see as many videos on maintenance as possible. I’m working up the nerve to experience the track for the first time. 👍🏾

[@jjmax2007]

Stay tuned to the channel more to come soon

[@pizzaboi2k8]

You shouldn’t have to justify yourself, if you want to make the bike lighter for the track no matter what level you’re going in at you make it lighter, if you want to change the gearing ratio you do that too! As long as you ride your bike with a smile on your face that’s what’s matter👍🏻

[@jjmax2007]

Wow thanks this means alot to me..... just seeing this for fire back in my heart to get back to wrenching and getting the bike ready I missed the last tracked day and was going to give up on the whole idea

Modify your bike to you liking and comfort , because you’re the one riding it and not anyone else that has an opinion …

@@jjmax200716/43. Not sure if Kawasaki dropped to the 15/43 with your newer than my 2009 6r. My stock chain was 112 links at 16/43. All the charts say 108 stock link length. Whats yours?

Nice Video Bro. Very informative. What brand name is that new main sprocket?

Keep the videos coming. I like watching them.

Awesome will do thanks for the support

170 mph on my 2020 636 16t ft sprocket with 40t steel rear, no issues excellent ride for the highway, stay away from alum. they bend and shred, titanium is best, 😎

[@jjmax2007]

Oh wow did not know that thanks for thw heads up Will look into it now that I know Cheers

How much you weight tho abs what mods . Is that 170 Gps? Can’t go by what the speedo says as they are off

@@Christophershredz He wasn't doing a true 170... lol Every damned time, some 600 dude claiming speeds that are just not realistic... Maybe down hill with a tailwind, at sea level... And even then... unlikely... 600's just aren't that fast. Isle of Man TT race 600's struggle to hit a legit 170... His, isn't doing it.

[@Christophershredz]

@@SquireSCA correct. My bike is bolt on tune but still top speed is limited by the retarded 2021 gearing . Just did 162 on the dash (i know it’s not accurate) at 15+krpm . The hearing is too short . I’m 230 lbs so doesn’t help either for drag

[@Bownator]

Why would you not go one down in the front? Why not -1 front +2 rear? Are you going over 250km/h on the track?

[@jjmax2007]

Oh snap no no no preferences that's all

[@wieczor25]

Hi! Just finished watching all your videos on the Ninja 👍 Thanks for the uploads. I'm getting mine delivered next week, completely stock.... for the moment;-) What tank grips have you installed on yours? They look good 👍😍

[@jjmax2007]

Oh nice... hope you sub to thw channel more videos to come once I get back in town..... umm the tank grips are in the description of the phone mount and grips video in this playlist Cheers

How many tooth on stock front ?

@@TxSavage04 oem set up what came with the bike same teeth Cheers

[@bennie1304]

Hey yall. Question is the stock gearing 15 front 43 rear? Or what’s the best setup for top speed? And does anyone know where I could get that gearing from?

[@jjmax2007]

Oh wow the stock gearing is in the video I got my set from revzilla I don't ride for top speed tho Cheers

[@isaaccamp9455]

What’s the torque spec for the front sprocket nut?

[@jjmax2007]

It's 92 ft pounds but I put mine to 80 ft pounds Cheers

[@maxwell7001]

⁠@@jjmax2007Why’d you drop it to 80?

[@d.b2179]

When you getting it on dyno? Keep it up man! Everything I've seen the HP gain is minimal with exhaust full or slip on. Mostly cosmetic and audible. I always throw a slip on all my bikes. 2021 636 now. Gained a sub. 💪🏿

[@jjmax2007]

Oh nice thanks for thw support ummm I'm trying have to wait til the shop near where I live allow me in the back to see the dyno most shops want me to drop the bike off I'm like nah I want same day ya know so I can record and such

[@bwright138]

With a full Akrapovic exhaust and custom ECU mapping my '21 636 went from 107 to 127 at the wheel (dyno tested).

[@SquireSCA]

@@bwright138 127? LOL What dyno? That's way more than I have ever seen... Sounds like the dyno reads high... Most get maybe 120 or so... What correction factor were they using?

[@Christophershredz]

You where able to run a 40 rear sprocket on the stock chain ? How bad did it kill your acceleration

[@jjmax2007]

Oh not bad at all I would outrun cbr600r in any gear and when I would just cruise on the Highway my engine would just be relax at 80 mph compared to the other bike I was with Cheers

[@Christophershredz]

@@jjmax2007 so i did the 41 rear and new gold chain but thinking of doing the front now in 14 to get a little acceleration back . So would be 14/41 vs 15/43 what do you think

[@jjmax2007]

That sound like a nice set up. you would get acceleration back for sure

[@sephirohmoto]

If i will change the.sprocket size. would there any effects in electronic traction control?

[@jjmax2007]

No no it will not .are any change to traction control Cheers

where did you buy your front sprocket?

Get pants or shoe lace caught in the front sprocket and chain and you wouldn't care about the weight of the cover.

@@jeffomspaugh6691 oh wow

[@sephirohmoto]

hi. did you change the sprocket size?

[@jjmax2007]

Yes went down 1 In the rear.... Cheers

[@Ali_UsedCarBull]

Did u feel any diffrence?

[@jjmax2007]

Yes yes but cause the chain will sound louder than Stock Cheers

[@jorgemoreno6350]

hey bro that sprocket will cause a lot of issues, try to run your bike on the spools stand and watch you rear sprocket, it will wooble. the Driven sprocket has not the same space from the engine as the stock one, believe me, i had a lot of problems. the inner side of the front sprocket will rub against the chain as it is closer to the engine than before. go for vortex. the measure that you used is not correct, look the the video closely. at high speed you will feel some vibrations also from the back end of the bike

[@jjmax2007]

Oh wow I was hearing a clicking noise a slow speeds thought it was coming from the rear when I had the stock sprocket and ur the 4th person to tell me be careful with the driven front sprocket hmmmmmm interesting good thing I saved my OEM parts Vortex here I come thanks for the heads up I plan to change over before the next track day better yet this weekend Cheers

[@kuoeangloh5966]

You change the bike?

[@jjmax2007]

What u mean?‽?,

[@SquireSCA]

Going to a 40T on the rear, is gonna make for less acceleration, and might also lower your top speed, because a 600 doesn't have the HP to push through the wind at higher speeds... Realistically, the best you are gonna get is maybe low to mid 150s... To be honest, the stock gearing was pretty optimal for that bike. Give you an honest 150mph and good acceleration...

[@jjmax2007]

Oh nice thanks for the heads up I didn't know this Cheers

[@SquireSCA]

Yeah, 600's just don't have the power to hit high top speeds. A properly set up and tuned R6 might break 160 on a good day, if that. I am talking actual speed, not the 8% high that most speedos read from the factory... More error, if its an older bike and you did a sprocket swap... Going to a 40T sprocket will make it slower in the end, because you lose acceleration, and your motor will be less efficient at higher speeds where the wind is really pushing you back... At some point, some noob on a 600 will come in claiming his GSX-R600 does 170+. It doesn't. Guys that make those claims are inexperienced riders that don't know how this works. Their speed is off by 15% but they don't want to admit that and "lose face" to their friends... haha The Kawi is geared perfectly from the factory. I would use that.

[@jjmax2007]

Woooooow this is so deep... and fact!!! I am going back to my stock setup as soon as I'm back at my bike thank you, thank you!!!! Cheers
