Just post up videos for the sake of doing so if you enjoy doing/making them. Like me. Are you planning on going to Grattan on 9/21-22? I might be there again! Dude you need to go to MID OHIO too, love that track, they got a 99% repave 1 yr ago!!!
Yup, Just like making and sharing them! Have been planning to go to mid Ohio for a while now, saw your video of the track day there! I probably won't be at Grattan since I'm doing the Autobahn the weekend after.
Thank you! No, I am not a mechanic, just a hobbyist when it comes to repair/maintenance. I am an automotive engineer doing engine Dyno development work though, so I'm pretty comfortable playing with engines.
Instead of buying the torque extension, could you just use the 13mm spanner and set a 1/2 torque wrench on the other end of the spanner at 90 degrees? Wouldn’t this give you the same effect as the extension? A 1/2 torque wrench sets perfectly in the wrench head. What do you think?
@@Zenandtheart-cb2qi thank you for the videos you made on this procedure. They helped a ton. Amazing quality and editing as well. You should really do more maintenance videos. I think you could be very successful and your videos would benefit a ton of people!
Where’s the coolant flush video!? I watched all 15 videos you’ve uploaded on this bike. You could seriously get pretty big on RU-vid doing bike maintenance videos. Great quality, engagement, and instruction. Hope you keep making videos like these.
Thanks for the kind words! I figured it is really easy to look up a coolant flush on RU-vid and I wouldn't be adding a whole lot of value by doing another one. If folks really want one I would be happy to do it however.
That would have been the intillegent thing to do, LOL. But no, I bought a shim kit in the range I expected to need and then ended up ordering a few individual shims once I found out I needed more of one specefic shim.
My Aprilia mechanic actually showed me that you do not have to remove throttle bodies to do this job. You just need to remove the injectors and injector rails. The entire job can be done with throttle bodies in place.
Yup, I was aware of this. Since this was my first time doing it, I just wanted to have more space to work. It's a lot harder with the throttle bodies in place though.
Thanks for posting. Yea several red flags throughout that day! I'm glad the Sun finally came out to really dry out the track for the rest of the day! What year is your ZX6R? Mines an old 07'
Yeah, the afternoon was great! Feel like I was in your way in this session.. LOL. Mine is a '23 I bought from crashed toys to build up a track only bike. Would love to check out your setup sometime.
@@Zenandtheart-cb2qi cool, a 23'? does it have auto blipper too? My old bike only has quickshift up. I'm planning on going to Grattan on 6/22/24 Saturday. Long as weather will be good and it doesnt sell out b4 I buy my spot! lol
@@scorpion-ninja8228 The bikes haven't changed a lot. It's just a quickshift up too. We will be at the july 5th and 66th trackdays at grattan. unfortunately missing the 06/22 weekend.
Ive not done this yet myself, but, in hindsight would it not be easier to install the rear TBs first, so you can access the boot clamps from the front then install the front TBs and you can also access their boot clamps from the front? Good work though ....
Nice to see someone else makes the effort to clean up the working area before starting the job. Takes time but is so worth it. Getting the TBs off is a major faff but well done. Hopefully its not too bad getting them back on. Fortunately I only need to remove the front set in order to get at and remove the SAI junk. Enjoyed watching your work ....
I realize it is possible to check the clearances without pulling the throttle bodies, but I like having plenty of room to work especially considering that this is the first time I am doing this job.
