Thats is way to funny LMAO. Well I also work on cars and i installed hearders fender eliminator, ECU etc. and i had no problme did the first oil change , I did have the oil filter problem the first time i think the same guy tighten those filters, but other then that it was a breeze now im just to busy so i take it to a shop down here called Advanced Kawasaki, thats all they work on and they have a track 05 zx6rr so when i take in my baby they know exactly what there looking at, i need to do service soon , new valve shems and what have you any way hopefeully it gets easier with time..

 

Hey guys sorry to get off the subject. But should i take my 06 in for the first service to the stealer (dealer) to have them do a entire check over of the bike? It's going to cost me like $85 to have them do it when it's time for the first service. Any sujestions?

 

It depends if you know what you are doing on your bike or not. The dealer I went to said all they check is the fluid levels, tighten the chain, check the cables, tire pressure and the valves if there is any ticking. The dealer told me it was a waste of money, so I skipped it, but I think when next season comes around Im gonna take it in and have them replace all the fluids after sitting all winter.

 

when it was time for my first service on the bike. i did it myself... all of it you could do too... the big one is change your oil... everything else is cake.... good luck....
gear up and ride safe....

 

thanks guys. i hate to say it but i might take it in. I don't know much about the 636. All i know is that i love it.

 

hey bro, no worries. but you should learn how to wrench on your own bike just in case something happens or you need to do some minor work... it'll save you money in the long run...

 

that's true use to wrench on my honda when I had it. nice bike it was the joe cammel bike.

 

ya i remember those bike... they were really nice...

 

thats a bummer dude sorry to hear you had such a hard time with it [:@]
i have an 01 and i hear its a bit easier on my bike but my friend has an 05 zx10 and i guess he had to take his whole ferring off to change his oil. o well live and learn i guess, make it worth it and go for a nice ride [8D]

 

i learned on my last sportbike that the oil filter is crazy tight that first time. If you go to a Kawasaki or Honda and I think Yamaha dealer they sell a cap that fits over the end of the filter and you use a 3/8 drive ratchet or a wrench to turn the filter right off. Real easy!! The cap cost me less than 6 dollars.
