[mention]BigJim160[/mention] has rode it, he can give another opinion if you like. But he will likely use uncomfortable and weapon alot lol.

Thanks pal so I have a zx6r f lol... Sounds like the ol cbr600 f... Are they numbered as per running years, then it's an f4 (2016) even more Honda haha.

Last option I think dude... Otherwise is custom

I'm a bit of a geek and it's annoying me keep.writing 2013 or 2015... What's the name code for the new zx6r? Anyone

You will get a used cover on eBay for about £30, it's a 10 min job to change. Just check the gear levers ok then all good.

New to me, 13k miles, 65 plate 2016. Fsh, from a small sidestreet dealer. £6295. It is the performance model so with the factory akra and a few other touches tho. Believe there is three on eBay 6800-7500 but with less miles. It's a hell of a lot of bike. It's so nice to put it in ktrc 3 rain mode when it's raining, one less thing to worry about and the ktrc 1-2 let the front come up... It will ride nicely in 6th at 20mph and has been a joy, I'm not the most confident in the bends but this makes me so, feels like you are at ease from the word go.... Its very very fast for a 600 and has power everywhere, obviously less than a litre bike but for the road it's the one to have imo. I've not rode the other two but test ride all three to see which you prefer. If you can stretch to a daytona r I imagine it's better handling with the ohlines, the gsxr is usually the prettiest of any given year but expect to see several at every bike meet. Ride all three, I'm sure none will be bad.

I actually love it tbh, it's literally on rails. Got 135 miles in today round the South coast and it's begging to lay on it's side. Very hard on the wrists mind.

As gerontious says. https://www.bksleather.co.uk/bespoke-service Bks in London might be your only option Jim, it was funny watching you get into that one piece

Ive removed it.... You pushed me over the edge lol...

I know I will... I'm just wondering how much I'm gonna use it with having the new bike.... I've nearly removed it a few times tbh.

Thanks guys, I think we've got a little useful info out of this thread at least. I think it will stop me flipping it if I totally f'd it up which is the main thing. I didn't realise how easy it would lift tbh, took alot more effort on the superduke 990 and 5jj r1. I may need to count the teeth on the sprockets, who knows what the previous owner done... I like it tho:-) I still don't quite understand how it relates wheelies and the front wheel slowing it that scenario to the fact it would be spinning up massively If level... Its a great system, it doesn't slam the front down when it cuts power, it brings it down like butter after letting the front wheel float along 12" of the ground for several seconds.

Just found this write up on the zx10r so I'm guessing it's a similar system... There isn't an anti-wheelie as such, however the system is capable of determining the rate at which the front wheel is lifting and if it's progressive, it'll allow it, if not, it'll cut it back. So you can manage to drive hard out of a corner with the front wheel just in the air. Don't expect to pull start-finish straight 12 o'clock wheelies though.

They are all in one so, 3 rain forget it. 1-2 allow wheelies if they aren't violent. I'm more curious if it will cut power if you do.a gentle one but right off the back lmao.

Haha love it

Mine

Hellboy

Looks pukka but you'd need to be the size of halthor bjornson to chuck it about:-)

My zx6r doesn't have abs, it was a 1k option on the 2013 on model. The wheelie control on this bike is built into the 3 level traction control like I say, it allows zero wheelies in level 3 and some in 1+2. I'm more curious if it will intervene before it flips right over? It almost seemed to cut/refrain power with the wheel at 930 o clock. Wondered if I was mistakenly assuming that it has a specific height where the ktrc says that's enough.

Yeah it does work of the wheels, it's got abs rings front and back but I'm assuming to recognize violent/accidental wheelies which apparently it can it must have a tilt switch surely?

Hi all, can anyone explain how the anti wheelie works on newer Kawasaki's. Specifically 2015 zx6r. From my understanding across the three levels of traction control, level 3 is rain and zero wheelie mode, level 1and 2 allows the front to come up as long as it's not violent. Does this system work as a safety net? Will it cut power if it goes past say 11 o'clock? It comes up very easily in the first two gears but level 3 is too intrusive. I've been using level 1 the least intrusive.

Thanks guys

Yeah I've had a few early blades and r1's... They are too much for me tbh.

Few more pics, the white is metallic, looks great in the sun.

I've been quietly doing research and longing for a zx6r for some time... If I had discussed it you lot would have had the chance to talk me out of it lol. Sorry guys:-) Went for another familiarization ride today, alone. On a private industrial estate She comes up so easily on the power in first but I think the anti wheelie stops it at about 9pm? Not sure if anyone has experience with these new systems? Will it just sit there if I hold the power on? I can believe how balanced it feels, incredible machine to me although I have zero experience in newer machines.

Thanks guys Yeah, it's quick... With ram air it's 135bhp redlines at 16000 but I keep changing at 10k due to being used to the xjr lol. It feels as fast as my old 5jj r1 tbh but that was a while ago, she will ride in 6th at 30mph too. I've only experienced older bikes newest being a 2009 990 superduke... That was good but this drops into the bends like it's happier on it's side.... Soo stable. Factory akra 3 stage traction control.. Very happy owner. Yeah colour drew me in, she is chained and garaged
