• Warranty: 12 Months


• Good Times™ Protection Plan 12, 24, 36 or 48 months

• The ZX-6R swingarm uses many of the same parts as the ZX-10R; both left and right inner plates, the left outer plate, rear stand bosses, brake caliper stopper, chain guard and swingarm pivot shaft


• ZX-6R features Showas Big Piston Front fork (BPF) design, for fantastic braking and initial corner turn-in


• The large-diameter of the BPFs internal piston allows a reduction in damping pressure, for better feedback and smoother action


• The BPF eliminates many of the internal components used in a cartridge-type fork, simplifying construction and resulting in lighter overall fork weight

• Inner fender above the swingarm helps to reduce turbulence and keeps the undertail clean


• Position lamps are integral with the projector beam headlights; the Ninja ZX-6R features dual position lamps like the ZX-10R


• Similar in design to that of the ZX-10R, the instrument panel gives at-a-glance information to the rider


• One-piece fender offers excellent aerodynamics


• Highly evolved fairing for great wind protection, minimal cross-wind effects


• Front brake hose routing with a three-way joint at the lower triple-clamp facilitates bleeding air from the brake lines

• Exhaust collector layout contributes to superb low and mid-range performance while maintaining high-rpm performance


• Molybdenum-coated piston skirts for reduced friction and engine break-in


• Cam and tappets nitriding enables high-load cam profiles, for maximum performance


• Crown-finished pistons


• Double bore velocity stacks feature inlets at two different heights, for increased performance in both the mid- and high-rpm ranges


• Low-tension piston rings reduce mechanical loss


• Advanced cam chain guides stabilize chain motion and further reduce mechanical loss

• Exhaust pre-chamber further contributes to mass centralization


• Engine is rotated forward around the output shaft for steeper intake angle and excellent CG


• Exhaust layout with a short side muffler keeps the weight low


• Frame stiffness around the swingarm pivot and the rear engine mounts optimizes front-rear rigidity balance

• Long throttle bodies between oval sub-throttles and round main throttles yield a smooth intake transition, for reduced inlet turbulence and increased efficiency


• Advanced cylinder porting delivers excellent cylinder-filling and scavenging


• Cylindrical guides in the top of the air cleaner box ensure accurately sprayed fuel mist from the secondary injectors into the intake funnels, improving combustion efficiency


• High-current secondary coil circuitry for optimum combustion efficiency

• Inlet pressure pulse monitor does away with cam angle sensor, further contributing to lightness


• Camshafts are made of chrome-moly steel


• Lightweight transmission gears and gear dogs


• Lightweight magnesium engine covers are standard


• Cassette-type transmission makes it easy to quickly swap gear ratios, reducing set-up time at the track


• Lightweight top injector mounting plate


• Lightweight oil pump and starter gears

• Intake resonator box and supports for the instrument panel and mirrors are unitized with the Ram Air duct, contributing to weight savings and increased rigidity


• The lightweight sub-frame is very narrow, for a compact and slim rear end


• The sub-frame is a 2-piece aluminum die-casting consisting of a front and rear section

• A race-quality adjustable Öhlins steering damper with relief valve and twin-tube design is fitted as standard equipment

• Sculpted seat allows the rider to shift his body far back on the rear seat step, helping to reduce rider fatigue


• Slim-waisted fuel tank makes it easy for the rider to grip the tank with his knees or to hang off in turns


• Fuel tank profile is flared around its top, similar to the ZX-10R, providing a large contact patch for excellent rider feedback


• Rear brake master cylinder reservoir forward of the swingarm mount frees up space around the footpeg, for simplicity and weight savings


• Seat-pegs-bar relationship places handlebars close to the rider and turned in slightly for a highly intuitive riding position


• Steep rake angle for quick steering response and enhanced communication from the front tire
