Restoring a WRECKED Kawasaki NINJA 636 | Complete Rebuild!

[@Evo_Spec]

I just picked up a cheap 2006 ZX6R off a colleague and this video has been invaluable to me. I now see how many bolts and fasteners my bike is missing XD

[@thepsychicpeach8425]

Finally a 636 build that isn't a stunt bike

[@rensellvalencia7179]

Been binging your rebuild videos for the last few days! Great work. Thanks for not taking 87 episodes to put on a clutch cover...

[@chrisg7062]

LED headlights. I put them on my 05 636 and what a difference. Not only at night but it also makes the bike look "newer". Great build man.

[@RKMotorsports]

The new owner of this bike already has some LED headlights ready to install!

[@PRXFpv]

@@johnast yo are you in the states and what state if you are? I own a 06 zx6r that needs a little love since i dropped her and broke my collar bone last june. Bike is caged and everything so only cosmetic stuff like fairing were damaged. I think water has seeped through the gas tank since its been sitting garage stored since i went down. If youre interested in the whole bike as a parts bike, lemme know maybe we can work something out.

[@preparedforbattle4432]

I love the new fairrings and gauge , im fixing to do the same build on my 05 636

[@fugley100]

I have the same bike. 19,000 mi. Runs great handles well, new tires and I got her going 153 mph the other day. Stoked!

[@RKMotorsports]

Nice! Gotta love the 636!

[@dbtrackz33]

Turned out beautiful, minus keeping those stunt pegs and not doing the seat cover. Well done. Fairings look great.

[@musajohnathan934]

@Christopher Terrence I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@samfoo95]

This is purely amazing 😍 I owns a 2013 ZX6R but no doubt the older zx6 is way much sexier especially with the under seat exhaust

[@RKMotorsports]

I agree, the 03-06 636 styles have a special place in my heart. But those 13+ 636's are hott!

[@M16xDr0pSh0tz]

13 636 is actually best body style

[@flying-fijiantv6282]

Your rebuild video made me not give up on my 636. I just got it started up today after 3 months of constantly trying to figure out wtf was wrong with it because it wouldn’t fire up. Got the mechanical side figured out and now it’s time to turn her into a beauty. Thanks man

[@luckybguy]

What ended up being wrong with it?

[@flying-fijiantv6282]

@@luckybguy owner prior to me snipped off the ground wire to the power commander. So the power commander wasn’t shooting fuel into the valves bc of the ground. Hella frustrating but man is she FUN to ride around

Nice job! I have a 636 my self one of the best Bike ever!!

[@jesusontiveros7767]

I own a 05 636 and have little details to fix on it this video has helped allot. Please comment online stores to find parts since I’m struggling to find some.

[@MISTAMUSIK]

Great job with everything including the fairings.

[@636NinjaVanish]

Looks killer! My 636 got stolen in Feb and I got it back three days ago, definitely going to use this as motivation.

[@a.fontaine633]

Brian 636 got an insane channel I'm glad you mentioned him.

[@RKMotorsports]

For sure! He has some awesome stuff on there!

[@B-zzz]

When you were putting on crash protectors it reminded me when I did the same with basic tools and the engine bolt snapped, my old man had the manual hand drill and I was there for an hour or so gnawing at it sweating and somehow managed to not fk things up. 😂 Bike looked fantastic after btw, you know your stuff.

[@kimcan71]

I liked the way you went from start to finish in one video. Not keen on the rear pegs or the decals on the fairing but you have skills. Keep up the good work👍

[@RKMotorsports]

Thanks Chris! I appreciate the feedback!

[@smurdstaeovvi]

dude, i just watched like 2 of your videos and it's pretty late at night but idc. i love watching these bikes being brought back to life and i'm hoping to see them running on open roads. i mean like clips tho. i'm from philippines and such a big fan of these monster bikes, hoping to be able to buy one someday hahaha. i'm going to subscribe to you right now. this is so cool!

[@jeffsbk8312]

I had this exact same bike, sold it about a month ago. She had an abusive owner and I just couldn't afford the repairs any longer. I loved that bike so much, so watching this video gets mixed emotions... thank you so much for restoring this beauty.

[@CoolnSerious]

OMG I've just started watching this channel and I love it , I'm over 40 but wanna start a project ,God help me LOL , don't want to buy something with cracked neck or engine failure...

[@DarrenArmstrong-n5e]

Yo, Rob…. Just done the cluster modification on my zx6r and it looks awesome so thank you for the tutorial 👍😄

[@DarrenArmstrong-n5e]

Hi Rob, tell me your thoughts on this idea regarding the cluster mod. I was thinking thinking of modifying it further by replacing LED that sits at the top ( red line ) with a red LED, what do you think? I’ll post a pic once I’ve done it… 😄👍

[@showd300]

Your bike builds and tips helps a lot thanks

[@gnanesh24]

You arer probably Edd China of bikes.. amazing build...the ZX6R looks stunning...I had a 2004 636 ....man you are awesome

[@RKMotorsports]

The 03/04 636 is one of my favs too!

[@alexandermccarthy]

Great effort bringing this one back to life. A couple of observations: 1) First audio track was a bit too Alvin and The Chipmunks. 2) The blacked out look would have been perfect for this bike, given how bold the fairing colour scheme is. So perhaps black pegs, discs etc next time? 3) Custom gauge set up is excellent!

[@danieljuno810]

7:33 sounds so much better then it did. Also that lift is awesome. Great work! Great video!

[@multipla1048]

Yes Rescue that beauty :D i love when people rescue old cars bikes and just overall saving vehicles im a huge bike fan and i just need a bike one day

Nice to see the insides of the infamous 03-04 ninja 636, came out hot🔥!

[@RKMotorsports]

Thanks! This one is actually the 05/06 model!

[@jerielyork4399]

Green looks a lot better than the red there's a lot of red and blue bikes out there keep up the good work

[@vinshanestrickland4179]

Grab a book or do some reading online about how fuel injection works . Only time you have to touch the throttle with a factory fuel injected "anything" is during operation. Good video my apologies for the scrutiny I think its so funny when someone pumps the peddle or twist the throttle trying to start anything fuel injected. You were right the first attempt cycle the key 5 to ten times to prime the fuel system

[@carlchilders2154]

Not a kawi guy but enjoyed your video. Good job!

[@laz1go286]

great work! When U R doing the decals for it You should modify the small sticker on the right side of the headlight fairing.Where it says Icon motorsport,to RK motorsport. I think that would make it more personalized,special and would make your company stand out a bit.

I totally thought about doing this! Unfortunately the decals are under the clear coat so I cant remove them

Did you heat the coolant up to drain it? If you want to flush the coolant, just fill it up with distilled, run the bike for a few seconds (no need to up to temp at all) and drain it cold!

I like to run it at least until the thermostat opens so I know the solution is running through the entire system to flush everything out
