    Definitely have to tighten my chain after every wheelie practice session. Getting better with my clutch up now that i got ASV shorty levers. Still buidling the courage to practice the staggered wheelie. Sit down and stand ups are getting easier. Just working on constancy

    Your chain will have tight spots, you need to find the tightest spot on the chain, measure and adjust from there

    It's just unfortunate that the '24 ZX-6R doesn't come with many tools under the seat as previous generations. I had a '17 ZX-6R before and it had all the tools to take off the rear wheel

      Go to "rider" mode and then you can set the power to full and traction control off

    Why is your axle nut with the Carter pin on the exhaust side? Does it matter at all? Because mine came straight from the dealership with the axle nut on the chain and sprocket side.

    • @bikesandbangs
      @bikesandbangs  13 днів тому

      Yours is backwards, the tech at the dealership must've put the axle bolt in the wrong way. Idk if it will make a difference but the nut should be on the exhaust side

    Are you supposed to measure the slack while riding the bike or when you're off the bike?

      Well it's tough to say. I'd go sit on one and see what you think. The only super sports that you won't feel as cramped on are probably a Hayabusa and ZX-14
