Any bike experts on here? 2008 zx6r issues

sunkist350z · 08-05-2018, 02:43 PM

I used to have a 2005 zx6r but I now ride a 2010 triumph 675, its possible that it could be bad gasoline, I had similar problem on my 2005 zx6r. Pump out the old gas and put fuel system cleaner and premium gasoline, wont hurt to try. Good luck.

Definitely not a bad idea. That's how I clogged the injectors in the beginning is using sea foam lol. How do you like the triumph? All the kawi forums are sooooooooooo dead its lame. Other ppl have this issue then it's just a never ending rabbit hole they all vanish lol

Sorry to hear that Sea Foam blocked your injectors. That's the first time I've heard that happening.
I've been using SF (cars, mx motorcycles, chain saws, lawnmower...) for years and it been awesome, especially for the motors that tend to sit unused for a while or a season or two.
Hope you get that cycle back running smoothly!

Btw, the KTM forum is a total snooze fest as well!

It works really well so well that it cleaned out some of the stuff in the sending unit and clogged my injectors. Lol I don't think the previous owner ran any fuel treatment very often so now I'm going to do it every third or fourth tank. Hoping that regular fuel maintenance will be enough

Im loving my 2010 Daytona 675 as it is lighter narrower than my 636 and handles like a dream. I like the 2nd generation 675 as it has the underseat exhaust unlike the new one.

I had to look up some images on that one. Dam, that's a sweet ride!!!

I've been considering a street bike for a while... just to cruise around on once In a while. Looking at the Kawi Vulcans. Either 650 or the 900.

I feel you I like the New naked style old vintage Kawasakis they have out now. The new Z series or whatever. I don't know if they would consider that like a restomod or like an Ode to the Vintage era? Pretty sweet bikes though. I like the Vulcans to
