"Kiwi"

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 636 ABS (2014) - Lime Green & Matte Black Okeene, Oklahoma, United States

Bought her brand new May 19th, 2014. I LOVE this SuperSport. Hands down, the BEST middleweight SuperSport around. Chose to pay for the $1000 KIBS (ABS) Option.

8,809 Miles Never Dropped or Laid Over. KNOCK ON WOOD

Invested over $7k into it & haven't even opened up the motor, YET. I run the FTECU (FlashTune) (Bike Side Kit) ECU Flashing Software, which is FOR SALE - works with any bike, as long as you purchase the $50 Bike Side Harness (unless your bike uses a Type 13 Harness) or $90 Bench Kit, otherwise, if you own a 2013-2019 ZX-6R, no need to buy a new harness.)

Tires: Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa's. My absolute FAVORITE Tire. A true 60/40 (Track/Street) Tire.

Next Street Tire to Try Out: Pirelli Diablo SuperCorsa SP2 (75/25% tire)

Next Track Tire: Pirelli Diablo SuperCorsa SC2 (100% Track DOT Slick.)

Tire History on this Bike: OEM Bridgestone Battlax S20, Dunlop Q3 (GREAT TIRE)

List of mods is LONG. I'll fill in my mods list later.

Dyno'd @ 112-114rwhp & 47-48ft lbs tq. Stock 2015 Dyno Pull Without Dyno Tuned in same Dyno: 123rwhp & 50ft lbs tq. Will Dyno Tune after my next Major Mod: Winter 2019/2020 or maybe sooner if I have a shop do the whole job:

Upcoming MODS (for sure #1 & #2 this year)

MOD #1: Kawasaki Racing .50" Thin Racing Head Gasket (Stock: .70" @ 12.8:1 Compression Ratio) ALREADY PURCHASED. After Thin Gasket Compression Ratio: 14.0:1 Perfect to just barely able to run A pump 93 and max out advancing the timing to get the max of 93 Pump Premium for est. of +4-7rwhp. 101 Octane Pump: +7-10rwhp ¤¤¤ Have Questions on retiming the cans externally. CONTACT ME IF YOU CAN ANSWER MY SIMPLE QUESTION OR TWO! ¤¤¤

MOD #2: Port & Polish Cylinder Head by filing down parts identified in the Kawasaki Racing Manual. If Funds are available, send it to an experienced shop for a professional Port & Poglish

MOD #3: Send my Cams to WEBCam for a $1k Stage III Regrind with required Hard-Chroming of Journals unlike Stages I & II, while installing my Thin Head Gasket. Requires aftermarket High Performance Valve Springs [where are those?] and High Compression Pistons, but my Thin Head Gasket cancels out the need for HC Pistons)

MOD #4: Replace the WEAK OEM Con Rods with Custom Made Corillo Connecting Rods hopefully while installing my Thin Head Gasket, Cam job & Port & Polish. MAYBE Stroked a TINY BIT more with a thicker Kawasaki Racing Thin Head Gasket (.55, .60, .65, stock, .75 up to .85.") §§ MINIMUM of a $3k+ investment @ once §§ (hopefully I can steal EDR's specifications.) Corillo nor Wiesco make Con Rods aftermarket pistons for the 2013-19 636.

Are 2009-12 ZX-6R Pistons the same specs since the 2013+ 636 is stroked instead of bored like the 2003-'06 636?

MOD #5: Flex Fuel Conversion; Try to figure out how to do FFV Conversion. aka: E-85 or an Octane rating of 103 = +9-14rwhp @ $1.69/gallon. quarter to 1/3rd of Pump 93 & $8.40 less than 101 & $140+ cheaper than MR12.

(Stainless Steel Fuel Lines & Fittings & hopefully my stock Fuel Pump has a high enough fuel rate & Injectors have a high enough duty cycle with perfect spray/atomization. Hope to not have to buy an aftermarket. fuel pump or $800 Fuel Injectors [if anything, an OEM Pump &/or Injectors work from another bike like a GSX-R 750, ZX-10R, ZX-14R, etc...])

ΩΩΩΩ NEED HELP ON CONVERSION! ΩΩΩΩ ¤¤¤ Contact me if you can help, point me in the direction of have advice. ¤¤¤

MOD #6: Small Sportbike Water-Meth Injection Kit

GOAL: 135-145 RELIABLE Daily Driven & Eventually Track-Day Rear Wheel Horsepower. EDR Performance built a 2013 ZX-6R 636 & achieved 136rwhp on 93 with much more money & completely different mod route (Lightened Superbike Crankshaft, E-Timed Stock Cams, WCB Transmission Bearings, Corillo Connecting Rods, "Reworked" OEM Pistons, Bazzaz Z-FI & In-House ECU Flash Dyno Tuned.)

Stock Gearing: 176mph INDICATED Current: -1/+2 Gearing: 167mph INDICATED

CAMERAS: 1: GoPro Hero 3 Session 1080P

New for 2019;

2: Dual 1080P On-Board Camera System with Mini LCD Screen & Controls (Front & Rear) FAVORITE CAMERA ADDITION:

3: Garmin VIRB ULTRA 30 4K Camera - Wide, Ultra-Wide, Zoom (1.5x,) Ultra-Zoom (2x) 4K@ 30fps 2.7K @ 60fps 1080P @ 60fps - 90fps 720p @ 60fps

12 Sensors for Video Data Overlay

NEXT PURCHASE: Waiting/Hoping/Expecting for Garmin to release an updated version of the 595LMT as the 596LMT-S, which I expect they will as they didn't with the 395LMT or buy the 396 if it doesn't lose any of the features of the 596. Garmin 396LMT-S (4.3")/596LMT-S (5") Motorcycle SPECIFIC GPS with TWISTY / CURVY ROAD FINDER!

If you're a Sportbiker, or any street motorcyclist, LOOK UP THIS GPS! Can be expensive, but it's WAAAAY cheaper than the TomTom Rider without having to pay for $80 Map updates 4 times a year. Up to the MINUTE Live Traffic with Auto-Rerouting & deadly Accurate ETA's. connects to the Garmin VIRB Cameras, TPMS Tire Sensors (Pressure & Temp,) Intercom, Headphones, Voice Controlled, Smartphone for music, SMS, Calls & Music Streaming (or unconnected with Music stores on SD Card) & this is the SHORT Condensed Version I wrote. I'll post the full versions of both the VIRB ULTRA 30 4K & the 396LMT-S (4.3") & the 595LMT (5") along with two apps & a website that has a database of Twisties.

FINALLY! I can find rare extinct wisties in Oklahoma & Dallas.
