Wow that sounds amazing. Excellent choice.
Yeah Bill, other than the "no instructions" thing, the sound and quality of the Graves is pretty impressive! And one of the more affordable slip-ons as well! Really appreciate your opinion on this! thank you!
@@StormtrooperRides the instructions tell u to go to their website for more instructions, was there no instructions on the website?
Hey man, thank you for making this video I just installed the graves slip on onto my zx6r using this guide. It was a huge help
Glad I could help, thanks very much for stopping by!
That's the kind of exhaust that will get you in trouble. You are only going 1 mph over the speed limit and get pulled over because they were ready for a chase haha. Sounds AMAZING!
AMAZING choice with the Graves exhaust. I ran into the same issue with my Leo Vincè exhaust and no instructions😂. Great video!
Thanks Nile! It sounds like a proper Stormtrooper Ninja bike now :) Yeah I dont get how they can engineer an exhaust system that looks and sounds this good but then cant produce a set of instructions for the bike its intended for? Makes no sense to me. Thank you for the comment and for stopping by!
My first street bike was a 1985 ninja 600r ( yea iam old ) Iam a gsxr fan , however I dang sure like the 636 !! BTW Keep these videos rolling....Good Job.
Thanks goobr! Yeah have some upcoming videos on the 636 and I'll also be doing kind of a side by side on the geometry of the two newest bikes we have. It'll be interesting.
Good Job! Let the music be heard! So happy you are back!
Thank you William!! So glad to be back! ....they do sound good though right?!?!!!!? I still cannot believe it for slip-ons.
It sounds mean and angry... and I love it 😁
I cannot believe how much sound comes out of that little slip-on and how big of a difference it made. Wish it would have gone that easy on the Ninja 1000! Thank you for the comment though gprimeofx!!
Just picked up the exact same bike last Saturday.......I think i like the sound of that slip on over the M4 slip on.....love your upgrades, keep up the amazing videos. You have yourself another sub
Picked up my Graves exhaust today. Will be installing it this weekend.
Wow im back again Ninja. Subbed in 17 because you were very informative in helping me with small but important info with my 650. Now you got the samr bike as me again or vise versa and again helpin me. You're awesome!
I soo missed ur DIY vids...cant wait for more DIYs for the z1000sx...i got one and its a great bike...did a 1400km ride to oman
I have a Ninja 1000 DIY coming up fairly soon. Awesome that you have one of them! Love the Ninja 1000!!! Take care and thank you for stopping by!!
Great video! I'm definitely gonna refer to this video when I get the Graves.
Just found your channel, good stuff. Will be doing all of this to my 21-636
Your torque value for the OEM engine bolts is 29.5 foot pounds, that’s why it came off with less than 30….It seems strangely loose but apparently that’s what it’s supposed to be. My TST frame sliders instructed me to tighten them down to 29.5 foot pounds and it seemed odd not to make it tighter, but TST said that’s correct. It’s odd but I suppose that’s how it is
Excellent 👌
Thanks Ray!
Great video! The slip on sounds mean. Do you feel the need for a Power Commander after having the slip on for a while?
Great Content as always! Can’t wait to get the 2021 ZX6R👍🏻
Killer design
💘
Thanks for sharing your videó. It's very inspiring.
did you change the name of your channel???
Great video! I'm a new owner of the 2020 Zx6R, same color as yours. Beautiful bike. Just upgraded from a 2020 Ninja400. The power feels amazing, and I still have it in Low mode lol. I like the size of this Graves exhaust, so I'm torn between this and the M4 black exhaust. Again, amazing video and thanks for the install instructions along with the before and after revs. Too many videos made that don't include it. Cheers
Oh and I'm now subscribed 😀✌👍
what exaust did you end up with ?
Good vid mannn
Thanks StrobeGaming! I had a lot of fun making it!
Thank you.Great job!!
I have the same 202 zx6r and have been trying to decide which brand of exhaust to go with... you got me sold on Graves
*the same 2020
I just got one and they should include servo buddy when u order the exhaust ...now I gotta wait
Just a tip, leave the servo plugged in and you don’t need the servo buddy. Just pull the cables.
Thanks, appreciate the advice. I was under the impression that it might cause an FI light if I left it in without something to cause it to stop rotating. I'm probably wrong but either way its good info and I appreciate it. Thanks again!
amazing video man keep it up
Hi, I’m from Mexico and I would like to know where did you get the “servo-body”? Could you please share us the link or comment us if it is part of the slip on…. Thanks for you video …
That sound good too, going between m4 and this
Thing sounds amazing
I just bought the 2021 636 zx6r... This is an awesome video you posted. Answered every question about my exhaust and sliders... So I will be installing them soon. However, I do have one question. What is the purpose of the servo you tossed? Thanks for the video.
Congratulations on your new 636, that is one awesome bike! Also thank you very much for the comment and support. Those vids are quite painful to make. The servo unit actuates a butterfly valve in the stock exhaust to help manage emissions and is not really needed. If you take it out however and do nothing else it will throw an FI/Check Engine light. So I put in what is called a "Servo Buddy" which is just a plug in harness that fools the ECU into believing the servo is still there and running properly. Once you pull off that stock can there is no butterfly valve to actuate so you either pull it out and install the servo buddy or you might be able to get away with leaving it in and just disconnecting the cables but I figured I might as well save the 3/4-1lb of weight....so I removed it. thank you for the question Chris and hope you have a great time with your new bike!!! Grats again!
Very good video and information, I am installing a slip on and going to remove the cables and servo. Cause that will be a great spot for my tool kit. Which sucks that the ZX6R doesn't come with one from the factory. I kept mine from my Ninja 400. No I didn't screw the next guy, low sided in a curve due to gravel and trash. Insurance company totaled the bike because it bent the front forks. You would be amazed what new plastics and forks cost. Plus, they were worried about the frame being bent
Glad I saw this video. I needed better tools
Yeah good tools help! It can be done but when it comes to bolting things onto the engine its best to buy a decent torque wrench and it'll last you a lifetime! Thank you for the comment and for stopping by!! Take care Bobby!
Hmm my right side shogun slider not only won't fit but it looks totally different then yours... Both of my sliders look the same not 2 different ones.. I'll have to call up the company I got them from.
Hello sir. I owned zx6r.
Your fairing with color Orange Is a wrap sticker or paint?
Thanks You sir. Love your Bike look nice.
nice job buddy! looks and sounds mean! i have a 2017 6r and i wonder if the 2020 graves can be installed in the 2017, since they share the same engine. I gotta say i love that blue graves exhaust!
My graves slip on for my zx6r came with a spring that was in the same bag as the nut? Any idea what it's for?
👍👍👍👍👍
Great video! After putting on your new exhaust does your bike seem to be lean or is it fine. I want to switch to this exhaust eventually, but I’m not really wanting to have my ecu flashed just yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again for taking time to put this video together for all of us!
Nah it runs just fine after the exhaust installation. I think if you wanted to get even more out of it, and especially if your end goal is to run track days, a tune might be in order but I think for most you can simply throw this on and keep riding as usual. Hope that helps.
It’ most definitely helped!! Thanks for the fast response , I really appreciate it!
Trying to decide between this exhaust and the m4 gp19 for my 2021 zx6
Can I change my stock muffler without using servo buddy..? Thank you...
Sounds great. Did you notice any drop in low end torque with the new exhaust?
No, it runs great with the graves, if anything it runs better. the 2020 is actually pretty grunty down low with the sprocket change they made and if its got less torque after the exhaust its minor. I've never had it on the dyno but to me it runs and performs very well for my kind of riding. I may have to steal it from my wife haha!! Thanks for the sub and appreciate the comment!!
Boy were you right about the directions for the graves exhaust. Did you use any Pacific torque specs for that band clamp that attaches the pipe to the catalytic converter. I don't want to put it too tight or too loose.
no, just got it very snug/tight by feel. The hanger bolt I tightened as tight as I could since it came out that way and as for the band-clamp that one I just got really snug and made sure it was compressing that lead ring in there.
@@StormtrooperRides one more question did you get a spring with your exhaust not sure where to put it. There is one spot on the exhaust where you can hook one end of it but not on the catalytic converter. Tried to attach it to the exhaust and the band clamp that attached is the exhaust to the catalytic converter but the spring is too long. Thanks for your help love your videos.
Hey, so I made the mistake of cranking on my bike before I can install the servo buddy. Excitement and curiosity got the best of me, I wanted to hear how awesome this thing sounds with no exhaust. Anyway I'm still waiting on my Servo Buddy to ship out, which I was waiting on so I can install it first before turning on my bike. Will the Servo Buddy truck the ECU into thinking there's no code and get that engine light off? I know the code will be stored now, which is what I was trying to avoid.
Sounds and looks awesome! Was the baffle in OR removed when you did the ride by at the end of the video?
Does putting a slip on exhaust void the warranty?
So I’m new to bikes and everything what does that cervo even do and why put the cervo buddy in?
You can just add the graves headers later on if you wanted right ???
Was that the cat that was removed? Or is the cat still on the bike further down?
What are the torque specs for those bolts for the frame sliders? Other than that video is pretty informative.
No use for the spring that comes in the kit until you get graves headers correct?
You don't need the servo buddy. I just leave the motor on there. Never had a check engine light.
True, but the servo buddy gives you more room in the tail
Hey man I just did the Graves slip on and servo buddy. And now my bike will not idle for more then 10 sec. Then dies. Runs fine but coming to a stop it will die
Is there a specific servo I need to buy for my 2020 zx6r?
Was servobuddy sold separate?
Did your exhaust come with a spring?
Hey man i just installed the exact same exhaust as you I love it. I just have one concern , when i rev to high RPMs in first gear my “KTC” light comes on? did you tune yours or do i have to mine ? i have a 2021 Zx 6R thanks bro
Did you find a solution to this?
@@scorpio7748 It just mean the traction control light , i would suggest lowering your traction control and it will go away . “KTC” = “Kawasaki Traction Control “
Good day sir! Do you need a to tune your bike after removing the pre-chamber box or not?
Any codes ? Or lights ? Or is that what the servo buddy is for ?
What’s that cables you removed? Did you remove them for the new exhaust ?
New rider here, whats the purpose of removing the servo?
Does it backfire if the catalytic is not removed? I am worried about what might happen to the engine if there's backfire in every deceleration.
Did you have to install a programmer or flash the ecu? I was curious if your bike runs lean without out doing a flash. Thanks for any response concerning this!!
If you just left the servo under the seat but took out the cables can you skip the need for a servo buddy without getting a check engine light? Also, would you still need a tune or only if you pull the cats out of the OEM headers/purchased a full system?
@11:09 smart! @11:19 not smart.
I'd like to buy this bike but i only have a28 inch inseam.... do you think i could flat for this bike?
Don’t waste your money on a servo buddy.
Just remove the cables from it and leave the actual servo motor in the bike. Note: if you unplug the servo in the process, it will throw codes. To fix that issue, just take the leads off your battery and touch them together for 30 sec, then put it back on. The light will probably stay on at first, but don’t freak out I promise it will go away in a couple days maximum. (This worked for my 2019 ZX-6 and my new 2020 ZX-6)
Question: I’m installing a M4 GP19 slip-on onto my 2021 ZX-6r and I’ll be eliminating the cat-converter along with adding the servo buddy. With that being said, is a flash needed? Does it ruin the bike in any way if I go without doing this? Thanks!!
hello.do u know how loud zx6r graves muffler sound is?i hope this sound does not exeed 105db at 5000rpm without db killer
How much louder is from the stock? Sorry, not quite crazy about loud pipes. Thanks for the content!
There's basically 2 sound mufflers he took off (the one in the middle under the bike and the one on the side. It's probably super loud.. there's a bunch of slip-ons (sc project for example) that allow you to bolt it onto the middle sound muffler section (keeping that middle box) which would make it alot more reasonable. I prefer my bikes not being obnoxious, also becomes a cop magnet when you do it like this guy.
Do you need an ecu flash after that ? Or not necessarily since no cat was removed ?
Did u need a power commander or tune?
Also wondering this
I can’t get the tension screw off 😂😂 help please
Can you provide a link for the servo buddy or did that come with the exhaust
Revzilla carries them among other retailers
bro i just installed my shogun slider. its look like the left one is shorter when installed??
Great video. I'm actually thinking about trading in my Z400 and getting the 2020 ZX6R.
By the way God bless you, to the person who sneezed @6:14.
Ride safe everyone.
John Y. Make sure you let us know your thoughts on that 2020 Zx-6R if you get one! Thanks for the comment and that sneeze came from my Neighbor Walt who was working on his boat, I’m sure the blessing is appreciated!
@@StormtrooperRides *Stormtrooper* Yes sir! Haha I will let you know what I think about the Zx6r. I'm actually in quite of a dilemma here. I'm choosing between the 2020 Ninja 650, and the 2020 Ninja Zx6r- leaning more towards the Zx6r after watching your review video about your wife's new Zx6r. I'm not going to lie, the orange and black scheme looks mighty fine, and I also like the KRT edition. You know what would be really great, if Kawasaki made a white and black colored scheme for the 2020 Zx6r.
Thank you for taking your time to read and write back to me. Much appreciated, thank you.
P.s. if your neighbor Walt's sneeze was heard through the video, very distinctively, his sneeze must sound monstrous in person hahaha!
Sooooo yeahhhhh I opted out and went with the Nin650 KRT. The ZX6R is wayyyyy too intimidating for me. Some day when I am ready, I will go for it. I love my new bike by the way, so worth the trade up from the Z400 hands down.
Servo Buddy Buy link :????
The instructions are in the the name SLIP-ON ......
is that the graves cat eliminator slip on or the graves cat back slip on?
it eliminates the cat. sounds amazing and runs awesome :) Thanks for the question!
Does it come with a baffle in it?
Does this require any tuning ?
Graves is a great choice, but Woodcraft would have been the right choice for frame sliders because
their design and quality of materials is far superior to Shogun.
I'll keep that in mind and maybe I'll swap the shogun's out on my ZX10R. Thank you for the suggestion!
@@StormtrooperRides you are welcome. 👍👍
Where did you pick up that exhaust?
Picked it up off RevZilla but can often be found on amazon (link in description) and off graves website as well.
WILL THE 2019 SERVO BUDDY ALSO FIT ON THE 2020 MODEL CONSIDERING THEY ARE BASICALLY THE SAME BIKE?
Danny Corsa yes
Please leave the link bro..
I've read that the "pre chamber" isn't actually the catalytic converter.. do you find that to be correct?
The cats are in the headers for 09 zx6r and up. Everything I've found said theres 2-3 pieces stuffed up in there.
Better if you cat delete
I’ve been looking all over for this orange 2020 zx6r. I’m willing to pay $10,000 if you’re interested
Not installing the servo buddy can affect the bike ??
