I believe it is 96 ft lbs for your '01.... You might double check with your local shop or get a manual.

Rear axle nut = 92 Ft lbs. Oil drain plug = 21 Ft lbs. Oil filter = 19.5 ft lbs. Chain Slack 35-40mm = 1.378-1.575 inches or approximately 1 3/8"- 1 9/16" total Slack (up and down) as per the 00-02 Kawasaki ZX6R Service manual.

If you have your stock tool kit, it should have a Axle nut wrench in it that you can use or measure to get the correct size socket.
