any one know any thing about bikes?
 

i ride an 07 zx6r and it has a cat on it. i would like to take the cat off to make my two brothers exhaust sound more mean since i cant afford the 700 bucks for headers. just wondering if i could take the cat off and not have an issue with any thing? does any one know any thing about bikes here really?

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

on www.zxforums.com it says no problem but may run a tad lean though.

well i hear they pop like a some bitch and i dont really wanan get a powercomander since i am on a budget...

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

i also have a two brothers slip on

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

You'll definitely need a PC. I had full exhaust on my CBR and it ran UBER lean until I threw one on there. Afterwards I could physically feel the difference. It no longer struggled above 10k and got rid of all the backfiring. For the $300 get the PC. They have tons of preloaded maps included in the software you get and they're pretty good tunes. But nothing beats a dyno tune though.

If you're on so tight of a budget that you can't afford to do it right, don't do it at all :)

Otherwise hell yea get the cat out and do a PC, well worth it.

i decided to take apart the exhaust and semi gut it. getting new fork seals done at the moment. i wonder why :)

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

was going to change my oil and was reading on what people used for oil in there bike. aparently you can really screw shit up if you use the wrong oil with a wet clutch system like in the zx6r any body really know what kind of oil to use?

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

heres a thought; read the manual.

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

I've always used the amsoil bike oil in my bike and works just fine for me.

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

no manual... theres a thought to have one ... havent bought one i was told to use mobile 1 synthetic and it will improve shifting but i dont wanna make my oil leak worse

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

hey 96gst16g send me your email i can send you an electronic copy of your manual. then all your problems will be solved!

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

can u pm it to me?

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

Do not put Mobil1 in your bike :lol:

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

+ a million. I use Maxim full synthetic and usually either a K&N oil filter, or a OEM Suzuki filter.

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

moble one for bikes not cars...

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

Mobil one for bikes is junk. It's pretty much the same thing they make for cars, just with a different sticker on the bottle... It'll destroy the clutch friction discs way faster than if you use a real motorcycle specific oil.

+1

I get guys coming in to work asking why their clutch is slipping with 8K miles on it. First thing I ask is what kind of oil they're running. 9 times out of 10 it's synthetic car oil. Then when I tell them car oil is no bueno on a wet clutch they look at me like I'm the idiot. Most guys listen and switch back to a bike specific oil, but there are a few that I just end up telling them to come back and see me when they burn their discs up.

Re: any one know any thing about bikes?
 

well usually i do listen to people and the auto parts guy at arnold motor supply said he runs kendal oil in his bike and does good so im probably just going to run that
