Hey Yammi, you should also put the Metric conversations in your video just like how Doug Demuro has started doing. Because unlike 'muricans, everyone else has to convert your pounds to Kg's and degree Fahrenheit to degree Centigrade, etc.
Removing the pair valve and evap canister will help with the pops and remove some weight. Unfortunately it’s going to throw a code so you will need a pair valve override dongle to keep the CEL off. KawasakiBrad sells these and they work great.
You can place resistors into the connector to remove check light and having the bike run lean prior to changing the ecu, just check what omhs the bike in question needs.
Just use a u bent wire plug that into the ais solenoid connector. No need of resistors. No need of dongle. no cel. Monkey above needs to be spoonfed. 🤣
I've just fitted a translogic quickshifter to my 2004 636 and it's so damn good. There's definitely a pair valve on your model, its easy to get rid of though, there's block off kits that come with a plug in thing that'll stop it throwing a code. 600's are definitely plenty, I love mine. It's just started getting over 50 degrees F here, and I've done 400 miles in a week on the 636, haven't found it uncomfortable at all, and it sounds/rides perfectly.
FYI: at one point you were going through the twisties and hit a big left sweeper and the autogenerated closed caption picked up the exhaust and at the bottom of my screen it just read “ahhhh”. That’s right cc. That’s exactly what it feels like exiting a sweeper at speed
"Hey bro, I flashed my exhaust! Do your hear the notes?" lol glad you share some love for the ZX6R! It's so f'n silly to wind it out in the city but when the conditions are right, it truly is such a great platform.
Dynojet PowerVision 3 does the flash, but instead of mailing out, you buy. The nice thing is you can customize your tune and if you switch out parts you can reflash for the new parts. For stock alone they have 12 different tunes, and for other aftermarket parts they have over 40. I love what it did for the MT09
I rode my motorcycle to work a few weeks ago and it was 17° outside. There was black ice everywhere and let me just tell you how scary that was. I did not use the front brake at all because I was afraid of the front end slipping out on me, but I made it to work safely. The reason I rode the motorcycle is because I totaled my car a few weeks ago and now the motorcycle is my only means of transportation. Bummer dude.
I feel that. Rode my motorcycle straight through the winter in 2020 because I had no vehicle. Black ice took me out 3days after a snow storm 100feet from the highway entrance ramp after work.
I got rid of my '21 ZX6r for a '21 ZX10r primarily because the gearing was annoying me--doing 80 MPH at like 8,500 RPM was not very fun, and I do mostly longer rides around the mountains in my area. I sometimes regret it. I installed a full Akra race system and had a very reputable local shop flash/dyno tune the ZX6 to a confirmed 127 WHP. I loved that bike.
What gear were you in when doing 80mph at 8500 rpm? I have a lil ninja 300 and it also does 80mph at around 9k rpm or so. This comment kind of confused me.
“I don’t grab my keys if it’s below 55 degrees” here in Milwaukee, WI where in March and it’s 55 you see dudes shirtless riding by the late like it’s summertime lol
Im finally getting my '01 Ninja 500R on the road this year, and hearing that you still really enjoy the smaller bikes makes me happy. Cuz turbo-busa...
Yammie riding around with sunny weather on a ZX6; ".....I got unlucky today....." 🤔 Yam, you gotta know you're gonna get seriously trolled after saying things like that. Anyway, thanks for showing us all how "unlucky" you are. 😁 Keep yourself safe! 😎👊❤🏍 Randy
Cycle World Magazine did a shootout for the 600 back in 1999, R6 was all new back then, and they also said that the 600 is a good entry level, well that was back then, ZX-6R (600, not the 636) was tied in 2nd with the Honda CBR-600F.
Completely torn with this exhaust. Love the way it sounds. I’ve had other bikes with full exhaust systems and I’m done with the obnoxious loud stuff but I can’t stand the way this looks, IMO the shorter set ups look so much cleaner. I still think I’ll be going this route since the note is so freaking nice and not deafening at all. Keep up the content 👍🏼
I moved to TX from AZ, where I wouldn't even go to the lake unless it was 100 degrees out...and I officially can't stand cold weather either. I have yet to experience a truly hot day in TX after 7yrs of living here, mostly in San Antonio. I'm still wearing jackets when everyone I see outside is in shorts. The ONLY times I loved cold weather was opening season times out at Glamis, since it forced you to make the largest most obscene fires you could...which was half the fun. RIP Sobe bombs.
I have a 2009 zx6r that hard starts when warmed up like doesn't start first try usually second or third. I have AM exhaust would an ecu tune solve this problem?
I see a lot of tar snakes on those roads man, gives me ptsd. Out here in Washington state they have them everywhere, and big too, not just little streaks. They are super slippery and ever more so here where it rains constantly.
@@Fearless154 it's exactly like what your saying with your zx10. Guttless and boring under 8k. It's the same with a 600. On the 25 yeah your not gonna be pushing big speed numbers but I guarantee you will be above 10k rpm alot more. And yeah not gonna feel the hard acceleration but it would still sound sweet and be fun. I can think of a dozen roads around town that I could rip the hell out of all day long with a 25 but even on my 600 I can barely rev it out without doubling or near tripling the speed limit.
Finally! I'm slowly making my way through the parts before install them and flash mine (2021 zx6r) glad to see this one finally get flashed but it still has the cat?
@@Train_Ship i had to rewatch that video what they actually removed was the pre-exhaust resonator (reduces the bike sound further) and they added a smaller resonator, the bike would be much more louder without it and the cat is actually right afterward in the header as a two or three staged honeycomb i think? I have the same exact bike (2021 model but is exactly the same as the 2016) and it's what i did with the exhaust change. Now i either need to gut the cat or get an aftermarket header.
Actually most 2000s "middle weight naked bikes" were inline 4 stuff like fz6 and honda hornet 600. It wasn't the most optimal engine configuration for these types of bikes and people didn't buy them. But you can still buy cb600r or gxs s750 if you want supersport bike in the naked platform.
Only reason why I don’t like 600s or let’s be more specific crotch rockets is cause I’m 6’6 340lb and my bike of choice is the concours 14 and with a ecu flash omg it’s a monster and I never have to worry about tightening my chain 😎
That’s my primary bike too, lot of people sleep on it when I tell them about it till I open her up. No no no lil sport bike I have all the displacement and Torque.
Big F here for Papa Yams. We have that problem here in Knoxville all the time. So many people have moved here and our roads weren't designed for this many people. Cars everywhere all the time, no matter what time of day. Very annoying as a motorcyclist...
I was just at my local shop and they had the new white and black/green version of the 650 on the floor and it was gorgeous. I know that doesn't address the speed thing...but have you checked out the new color?
1. Can you share where you got the ECU flashed from ? 2. Did you have to tell them what exhaust/slip on you have on? I assume you've got to add a slip on befre the flash. 3. After the flash, does it make differeance to the GAS Milage? Gets better or worse mileage now? With current prices gotta think...
Bike sounds great, but the thing that always turns me on about Kawasaki 600s are the looks hey maybe one of these days you will get a cam car like your brother Chase. Or a drone.
My first bike was a 2009 Yamaha R6s and I felt like it was slow and didn’t have fun on it at all. Sold the bike after a year. That bike led me to the 2010 GSXR-750. That bike was amazing!!! After 10 of ownership I sold it to my friend and now looking for a new bike. I’m super hesitant on getting a 600. The Kawasaki would be my pick but really don’t know. What you think? Any advice you can give me?
On tuono 1100 all of the riding modes street/race/track all give the full 175hp the only difference is the throttle response. Also 1000cc is superbike, supersport is 600 category.

HOW DO YOU FIND OUT IF THE ECU IS FLASHED
I already did. 😁We’ll see what happens.🤞🏼
Hey Yammi, you should also put the Metric conversations in your video just like how Doug Demuro has started doing. Because unlike 'muricans, everyone else has to convert your pounds to Kg's and degree Fahrenheit to degree Centigrade, etc.
“52° is too cold to ride”
Me, in Minnesota: “aye boys it’s 37° this weekend let’s take the bikes out”
Same here in the Poconos 😂 Get some good weather gear, wait for a good rain to wipe the roadsalt off the ground, and you're g2g
Me, a Canadian: "Oi gents, the roads don't have snow and ice on em, let's go out."
Ayuh, same here in New Hampsha'.....🥶👍❤🏍
meanwhile in québec -13f half of the year.... and 10 feet of snow...
Same here in Copenhagen, Denmark :)
I dont think yam can go an entire video without mentioning he has a turbo busa at this point lol
Knew it was gonna happen, but can't really blame him, I would too!
I’m loving how the channel is going, feels like papa yam is returning to his old self. Also the zx6r sounds real sexy

Great video, the last two minutes were very fun to watch, can't wait for the track video.
I agree to the no ride under 55… it seems I loose traction under 50. I just can’t get the tires warm enough with regular street riding
Yikes, what kind of tires do you have? When I leave the house in the morning I'm lucky if it's 30deg out, I have no problem with loosing traction.
I just lower my traction expectations lol.
Lower your pressure a bit. Unless your tires are really old you should be good.
52 degrees? That's t-shirt weather for us Canadian lmao.
