Just got out of the Army May 21. Back home in Tampa, Fl now. I've had my bike license for 3 years just never got a bike since I kept deploying overseas.

Now that Im home for good I went out today and bought a 2001 Ninja ZX-6R for my first bike to get used to everything. Im already 100% addicted.

Hopefully i can find everything on this forum as far as doing my own maintnance, moddingetc.

Are there any other good websites anyone recommends for info on this bike.

Hopefully i get to meet up withsome of you locals.

Thanks in advance!!!!

Welcome!

You will love the green machines.[8D]

 

As far as I know everything with the bike seems fine. It has a few scratches on it but nothing major. It only has 7k miles on it. Runs nice. Nothing noticable. However I still wanna redo all the fluids. Would it be fine for me to switch to full synthetics?

 

Yeah full synths would be fine. I just heard somewhere that once you switch you have to stay synth unless you do a full cleanout.


have fun riding & glad you're back from overseas!

 

Going full synthetic has many pros, and only one con: Expensive!!!

Switching back, or even mixing non-synthetics won't hurt the bike any. The theory of not being able to switch to regular oils after using synthetic is an unfounded old-school idea people used to say. Just stay away from energy conserving automotive oils and you'll be fine.

 

Sounds good to me. Im sure those extra few bucks are worth the results though.

 

welcome to KF

 

Welcome to the forums.

 

Welcome home bro. Well I am on the other side of the bay. You will notice a diff when you go with full synthetic. Easier shifting quiter ride and may run a degree cooler also. Well if you head this way on Wednesday for bike night at the Lube we might run into each other.

 

Thanks....

Wont be able to do it this wednesday but i'll definately try to come over next week. Trying to find a good group to ride with.
