KAWASAKI NINJA ZX6 FILTER/CARB SERVICE BY MR TWEED 

That's good to hear 👍

Ah glad to cheer you up Nick 👍

My pleasure 👍

Hence the puffing and blowing 😄

Always got to have the correct PPE, thanks for joining.

RU-vid hides the good ones, glad you found us

Thanks Colin

Sounds like you had the luck of the devil that day !!

Thanks Phillip

Ooh very good Jason 😆

@@TweedsGarage I wonder how many folks get the reference..

@@coplandjason judging by the age stats for the channel, not very many 😁

Ah yes Japanese cross head screwdrivers, its a revelation when you get a set as they fit so well.

He'll do anything for a good full English 😉

Communists over at the BBC? They seem to be sucking up to the Tories these days. Bring back Robin Day, that's what I say.

Bikes are where it's at Randy. Mrs By the Tracks will just have to learn to accept it! The JIS screws are interesting. I thought my 75 or 75 Kawasaki KT250 would have them but no dots on the screw heads and the bike manual and parts book both mention Phillips screws and drivers.

I know Allen, both observations correct, unfortunately black pudding wasn't an option and hash browns are a scourge of modern life .........but it was a top quality butcher's sausage and fried bread was an option ( that was chosen 😋)

Thank you very much Colin, i have used Haynes manuals over the years and have found them useful for giving you a general overview of the job being attempted ( they did have that classic line " now reassemble in the reverse order " which you normally found when you were sitting amongst a pile of disassembled machinery 😆). If they were available the American Clymer manuals tended to have more detail and better photos but the Haynes manuals were reasonably priced for the diy mechanic.

I frequently helped my Grandfather repairing and maintaining machinery. When it came to reassembling he would say by the time he finished he would probably have enough omitted parts left over to build another!

My pleasure Roobie 👍

Hi Josh, this bike is an earlier carburettor version with an external fuel pump ( next to the filter i changed) . Later injected models have a fuel pump fitted in the bottom of the tank and the pressure regulator is mounted on the top of the fuel pump housing assembly.

Thanks Craig, welcome aboard 🙂

Your weren't the only one........you have to make allowances as the cafe is in Surrey........i was lucky it wasn't garnished with pomegranate seeds and smashed avocado..

First thing is to check you're running fresh fuel, modern unleaded starts going off after a couple of months in storage. secondly when you had the carbs cleaned did they just remove the float bowls and blow the jets out or actually remove the primary jets and clean them ( I show the location on the video but didn't remove them as I´d done them before, they can get coated inside with a crystalline lacquer left by stale modern fuel if the bike isn't used much , I clear these with one of those micro drill sets, not drilling then but just gently passing increasing size drills through until you get one the same size as the jet, then just give it a gentle twist to remove any debris). Thirdly a new set of plugs wouldn't hurt and do cause poor idle if they're a bit fouled up ( this was the fault with this bike ) . I would say you're coils are probably fine, they would be more likely to cause misfires at greater loading / engine speeds. These bikes need a good clear out on a regular basis to keep them running sweetly. hope this helps.

Im afraid the new downloadable manuals ( which seems to be the way they are going ) are even worse, with huge swathes of information left out...... cherish the printed versions even if they are only occasionally helpful as the future is rubbish 😁

@@TweedsGarage Totally agree, I like to make notes in mine as I go along as I have a memory like a sieve.

You cant beat the Kawasaki factory workshop manual. I have one for the W650, they're fantastic.

glad to hear it, thanks for watching.

That’s the first thing I do 😅

Thats what those Vessel screwdrivers are Leon and bloomin good they are too, thanks for tuning in 👍

There really isn't any space in there, i had the correct socket but it wouldn't fit, so being away from my workshop i had to use the tool kit box spanner ( i think they probably have a long tube box spanner for sticking them in at the factory, there really is no wiggle room )

The hose from the back of the tank is the fuel filler drain so it just gets fed down the right hand side of the engine with the other drain tubes, i would advise trying to free the adjuster up ( or replace with a new one ) , with the tank and airbox off you should be able to work on it on the left hand side of the carbs.

I don't deal with them much but i think the later ones moved the fuel pump and filter into the tank as is the common practice now.

You're welcome!

Accent!........what accent? 😉

Without seeing them its difficult but with the age of the bike it might be what remains of an alarm/immobiliser system that's been removed ( if everything else appears to work ) But for more of an idea follow the link below for the Kawasaki ZX6R manual in pdf form, the wiring diagrams are in the electrical system chapter www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=www.moto4.ru/downloads/Kawasaki%2520Ninja%2520ZX6R%252000-02%2520Service%2520Manual.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiU8_GM9Y2EAxVp6wIHHXLcBAcQFnoECBgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2lTx8_ZhEtnwW00YVY1uo3

Thank you appreciate the diagram I kind of suck at them though honestly lol, if you ever get a chance to snap some pictures of the wiring that would be very appreciated, few different colored wires and I can’t figure out where they go some of them are missing a connector

Try their website ( not sure of your location) haynes.com/en-gb/motorcycle-manuals-1

If the fuel pump is in the tank the filter will be on top of the pump.

@@TweedsGarage thx

@@TweedsGarage yes it us thx

Used the plug socket from the toolkit, 10mm and 8mm sockets and the screwdrivers are www.amazon.co.uk/Vessel-Megadora-2x100-2x150-Screwdriver/dp/B071SGNCSM/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=3A9VRLGINZB07&keywords=vessel+jis&qid=1702451881&sprefix=vessel+jis%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-4

RPM should be 1100 cold 1300 warm, if your bike has it, it is adjusted with the knob under the left hand side of the frame ( see video at 35.09 where I´m installing it back in it's position ) hope this helps.

@@TweedsGarage Obrigado pelas informações. Achei o regulador. 😀

Você sabe se para colocar o cabo do afogador é necessário remover os carburadores? O meu mecânico esqueceu de colocar o cabo.

@@eduardoguedesbh watch video around 31:00 minutes, you can see how the tick over adjuster attaches to the carburettor on the left hand side. You might be able to reach it without removing the carburettors but you will have to remove the tank for access.

​@@TweedsGarage sim, esse é o regulador da marcha lenta. Eu vi no vídeo o que eu precisava. Realmente tem que remover o carburador para colocar o joke cable. O cabo fica no meio dos carburadores.

😆

Those are the coil packs

That gray piece on side of the fuel pump?

I’m rebuilding a 2001 ZX 9R it has few missing pieces I’m trying to identify the part I don’t have
