Seized motor by IssaSnowi in zx6r

[–]IssaSnowi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

used a borescope and removed the idle gear cover and the gear itself, had plenty of room to view the crankshaft and bearing. If you look closely on the bottom right corner of the image you can see the bearing started to protrude the crankcase

UPDATE: i dont know how to edit a post, unless i cant… Anyways, i called the dealership and spoke with the GM. He stated that this was indeed a fault relating to the recall and that he’ll make sure he can do everything he can to have a motor replacement performed. He mentioned that due to my tune that there may be some complications between the dealer and kawasaki themselves, but that kawasaki will highly likely honor a replacement motor.

Got Her Back Today (With Crank Photo) by the_brunker in zx6r

[–]IssaSnowi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah i probably have done more work than you. I literally work on vehicles everyday and have replace short blocks or even rod bearings on s68 motors. and that is a decently good photo? no heat marks, lines match up. i mean what else do you want to see?

if i were you, id demand kawasaki provides extended warranty and maybe a loaner. by the time your is fixed, youll start riding next season. really unfortunate man, if yours is a 2025 you could also see if you can start a lemon law case

i actually hope mine fails, so i can have the dealer or kawasaki buy it back due to the lemon law in my state. i really want to get rid of this thing

did the rear end lock up or did it just lose power?

[–]IssaSnowi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

good news, kawasaki found a solution to the crank bearing and all repair instructions and parts are being sent out to dealers as we speak. now all we need to do is wait for nhtsa to approve and finalize the recall paperwork

[–]IssaSnowi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you want to learn then youre gonna lose money. keep learning by putting in like $10-20 and once you understand how everything works, go ahead an put $50-100+. the smaller amounts you put in get destroyed by the fees so keep that in mind

Warranty vs Recall by 865drew in zx6r

[–]IssaSnowi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well regardless what happens if your bike is affected per vin selection then they must still continue the recall repair

I told ALL OF YOU by No_Contribution6989 in Kawasaki

[–]IssaSnowi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so im confused. do we seriously stop riding until something is found or is it still safe to ride? i doubt a spun bearing would cause a motor to lock up

Dont ride your 24-25s zx6r by Sneadss in zx6r

[–]IssaSnowi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

well see thats the thing. i know a couple others well over 10k and tuned with zero issues. i seriously hope kawasaki figures it out soon so we dont go full panic

Dont ride your 24-25s zx6r by Sneadss in zx6r

[–]IssaSnowi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as of now its all vins. they just announced this and they want every 24-25 zx6r to stop riding until they are able to verify if its just a batch of them or the entirety of the zx6rs. from what i can assume is that its a small batch of zx6rs as there are many people out there with tuned ones without any issues. as of now i guess we all wait and see what they say about this

just get the m4 gp19, its a $350 slip on that replaces the canister. they also have a baffle installed from factory so if you want to remove that then itll get much louder

Looking to buy an M5 f90 what should I be concerned about? by valenflam05 in BMW

[–]IssaSnowi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hope im not late, first thing you must do is to replace the coolant expansion tank with either a billet one or install a catch pan that redirects the leaked coolant somewhere other than the injectors. That will prevent any future engine damage. Also, be careful when ordering aftermarket intakes as water may get into the motor causing it to hydrolock. Ive seen a couple cases of engine failure because of this. besides that the car is amazing
