Hey guys! Today Renthal Ltd. sent us a set of sprockets for the Kawasaki Ninja Zx6r. The kit consisted of a rear 42 tooth sprocket, a front sprocket, and a new chain.
Unfortunately, we did not think the kit would do anything beneficial for the Zx6r, so we sent back the 42 tooth rear sprocket for a 44 tooth one. That way, we would have one down in front and two up in the back. That would give the low end pick up the Zx6r desperately needs in my opinion.
We will update you as soon as we get the rear sprocket and install it. Stay tuned!

Hi guys! It’s GooDy yet again! Today, my good buddy from MotoWerkz hooked us up with their MotoGP style exhaust for my Ninja Zx6r. It is installed near the muffler inlet to reflect and dissipate sound energy, reducing the decibel level as rpm’s increase. Because the open area of the cone is greater than the area of the collector or exhaust pipe, back-pressure is minimized, so you reduce noise with little or no power loss. The cones are made from T-304 stainless steel and weigh less than .5 lbs. each.
The MotoGP style exhaust is the hottest style you can put on your bike at this time. It’s loud, it looks so cool, and it releases the true power of the bike. Whenever you mention GP styled exhausts, people are usually afraid that they will lose torque or back pressure on the bike.
But having it on my bike right now, compared to the Akrapovic unit I had earlier, the Ninja really picks up more power at any rmp. There is no losing of power at the low-end because you still have the cat on. Basically, see it as losing a bunch of unwanted weight from your bike.
So far, I’ve gotten so many compliments on how cool it looks at bike meets everywhere. It really makes the Ninja look like a MotoGP bike. After you remove the undertail section, the bike looks even sexier. And the sound is amazing, but it is loud. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not too loud for daily riding but every time you gun it, it screams!
The bike is quicker now than when it had the Akrapovic. And the most important things is that you lose almost 20lbs of stock exhaust. Not only do you remove the stock muffler, you remove the whole mid pipe. That’s big crash diet.
Right now, it runs fine with out tuning, but if you have a power commander, Motowerkz offers a map to make your bike even run better. We will keep updated on this. Till next time guys, Peace!

Sup guys? Today the good folks from TechSpec-USA sent us some side and tank grips to test out.
It’s really been bad trying to ride the Zx6r really hard without shifting in my seat. Both on the street and on the track. I really think tank grips should really come stock on bike.
The TecSpec Company offers two styles of tank skins. The Fusion skin is thinner and looks a bit better in my opinion. The Snake skin, however is track approved for the aggressive rider. Check them out!
After testing both styles, I couldn’t believe how easy I am able to hang my body from my bike. I can’t wait until my next trackday. With this side tank pad, I can brake later than usual because of the shorter time use to set up my body position. It really makes me feel more comfortable before turns and during turns. Big bang for your buck guys.
Who I would advise these for: Everybody should have these!
Who I would advise these against: Cheap bastards. Just kidding! Just try it, guys!
Sum: Experience the next level of riding your bike.

What’s up, what’s up guys and girls? I’m here to talk about the Zx-6r today. Kawasaki’s speedster in the 600 class, is definitely a head-turner. But I want more power as I said before and more sound! To improve its sleek looks even further the good folks at Akrapovic have developed a slip-on system which fits smoothly into the lines of the Kawasaki. The Akrapovic slip-on exhaust system is designed for riders who are looking for an excellent combination of aesthetics, quality and price. System is available in street legal and a sportier open version.
Check out my video!
For more information on this Akrapovic product you can go to their website here. Aight, till next time guys, peace!
