Will Kawi Still Inspect my bike?

So I made a post here about swapping the motor on my 2025 zx6r. It has been successful(will upload proof soon).

New motor has 409miles on it so im not sure if it has recieved the recall inspection and the sellers from ebay(motorcycle guys) aren't sure.

I entered the vin on Kawis website and it says their are no recalls, but that doesnt tell me that its been inspected.

Is it find it hasn't been inspected, though I've voided the warranty on my bike because I've put a new engine in with a different vin, is Kawi still obligated to inspect for the recall?

for a cold start how “gently” do you guys ride? How long do you let it idle? And for how long do you ride gently for? Just curious since for me it seems like these bikes just want to stay in the high rpms always and seem sluggish and unhappy when going anything under 4-5k rpms

Some feedback and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is it dangerous to wheelie or stunt an abs model??

2025 abs zx6r I saw a video saying that he ate it due to abs messing with his wheelies so haven't even attempted anything like that yet (also im being smart and putting lots of hrs on bike before doing dumb shit as imnew tothe street). My question is is that true? I juat purchased an abs delete module. Also had a question if I need to reroute any lines with that module installed or if its fine for break performance to leave the abs pump and lines etc.??

Appreciate any tips and experiences with this stuff guys!

Thanks

2025 ZX-6R break-in: Blinking Check Engine Light but NO diagnostic codes?

Hey everyone, ✌️

I just got a brand new 2025 Kawasaki ZX-6R and it is currently still in its break-in period.

I am having an issue where the Check Engine Light (CEL) is blinking on the dash. We plugged in a professional diagnostic scanner (OBDSTAR MS50) to see what was going on, but the scanner found absolutely no fault codes (DTCs). The system reads completely clean, yet the light keeps flashing.
Has anyone else experienced this on the 2024 or 2025 models? Could this just be the factory "shipping/transport mode" that the dealer forgot to unlock?

I’m attaching a picture of the scanner we used. I would really appreciate any insights or advice you guys might have. Thanks in advance

Opinions and some help please and thanks

Hey, so this popped up couple of days ago and I am a little interested as I am looking for either an '03 or an '04 ZX6R. This is what Google tells me. the probable issues are so I am wondering if anybody has any experience with this battery or electrical issue. ​If so, my main question is what kind of cash would I be looking at spending if I took it into a shop to have it looked at and repaired. This will obviously play a part in how much I offer him. He says he's gotten a few $3,000 offers and one $3,300 offer

2023 zx6r weird smell

I noticed for the past 2 days when starting my bike, I smell a weird musty almost old urine smell that gets stronger when I turn it on (best way to describe it) coming from somewhere in the bike. Has anyone else experienced this? It’s been hot the past few days here in Baltimore. I checked everywhere I can & everything looks fine. It’s a chance a dog could have urinated on my bike as I live in a residential city block, but maybe someone else knows what I am talking about & possibly experienced it as well. I’m going to give it a wash here shortly & take it from there, just posting here in the meantime as my anxiety is in full effect.

Help!! ABS Delete Module Detectable By Dealership Even If Swapped Back??

If i install this and regular brake lines:

https://absdelete.com/product/2024-kawasaki-ninja-zx-6r-zx636-abs-delete-kit-galfer-lines/?gad\_source=1&gad\_campaignid=22826507243&gbraid=0AAAAA-L95cAvk-YAbdSPPcx-pA-4ig-jb&gclid=CjwKCAjw8arQBhB9EiwAfIKdQkbJCMfQUoRmsm5uyFeqZWZpyUUcGI1VFHWZ1INeijqrpAbFyydCdhoCy18QAvD\_BwE

...Will my warranty be voided even if I swap the stock components back in for any dealership visits? As in can they detect that the module was ran in it or does the module basically fool the system the whole time its installed without anything abnormal in the logs???

Sorry if any of this is stupid questions to ask, im new to streetbikes this is my first but have pretty extensive knowledge in the dirtbike world.

Insurance

So I currently have a Ninja 650 and I’m paying around $2k/year for insurance — mainly because I’m a new rider in the US and I’ve got 2 speeding tickets 🥲.

I was just messing around checking quotes for a ZX6R, and Progressive quoted me almost $5k/year 😭. Is that actually normal out here or am I getting absolutely cooked?

Wanted to check how much are you guys paying? Or best way to commit felony

Air box question

Should these holes be here? Looks like someone had them duct taped, but maybe they got blown through. I don’t know.

Opinions needed: 899 vs zx6r

Hey Everybody,

I just sold my 765RS and am itching to go back to having back pain.The below are currently the 2 bikes I am mulling over. I ride under 3k a year so not much.

While the 899 aesthetically wins out (by a little I still love the silhouette of the zx6r) and its nice having torque, I love the noise 4 cyl's make and am afraid the heat make me sterile.

If anyone happens to have experience with both I'd appreciate it.

Panigale 899 roughly $9.8k:

2014 6,200 miles

CF wheels

Termi exhaust

blipbox

Woodcraft rearset and axle sliders

etc

ZX6R $10k:

2023 3,603 miles

M4 slip on

TST turn signals and taillight
