hey guys,

im a bit of a kawasaki freak, which i think round here is gonna make me a minority haha

ive got an old j series ZX6R that ive had for about 3 years. its got MX bars on it and im currently in the middle of turning it naked. Im hitting some preblems with the ram air, but i'll post that up in another thread. im sure someone out there will be able to help me with this problem as im assuming ram air bikes have been fightered before.

im around the traps on a few other forums, and ive been a long time reader here. i just wish i had the fabrication skills of some of you guys!

cheers

Of the big four, Kawasaki has had me ever since my first bike - a ZZR.
I mean, that bike had a little glove box up the front.

In other news, Welcome ;)

The ZX6Rs are not quite so critical as the ZX9R when it comes to the ram air. All I usually do when I have naked/unfaired example on the dyno is take two small lengths of tube from the float chamber vents between carbs 1&2 and carbs 3&4 straight up into the airbox through two 12mm holes ( or whatever the outer diameter of the tubes you use).
Then have them protruding into the airbox above the rubber stacks a little, and slash cut them at 45 degrees, facing forwards towards the airbox intakes.
This ensures that all the float chambers maintain pressure equalisation with the airbox, they work in a very similar manner to pitot tubes on a blow through carb turbo set up. Otherwise the bike will set up fine on the dyno but when it is ridden on the road it will start to suffer from leaning due to fuel starvation above about 40mph, as the pressure in the float chamber drops below that of the airbox and venturi.

thanks for the welcome guys! my first bike was a honda but this is my second kawasaki, dont get me wrong i like other brands, but i would feel dirty if i didnt have a kawasaki. im more than a little green mad!!

i'll have a geez through the link, but ive also found that simply blocking off one of the holes in the frame get the bike to run more smoothly, obviously cos this eliminates any imbalamce in air flow...

thanks again guys!
