Default Do California motorcycles have any special emissions features?

I'm looking at buying 2009 ZX-6R from a California dealer. Will it have any special or weird emissions stuff on it specific to California?

Do ZX-6R owners remove smog stuff like the KLX-250S owners? If so, how hard is it and will it void my warranty or require fuel system changes?

Thanks,
Sid

I'm asking about SMOG emissions equipment like California has had on cars that made them different from cars from other states.

Google it. There is a write up on it some where. I fould it a couple of years ago. After I removed all my smog stuff, in my opnion, it made the throttle a little more responsive.
