New Kawi 600s

[EX#996]

I don't know how hard it will be to get the RR.  My dealer showed me his allotment sheet for the year, it says he will get 6 RR's, and 15 636's.  He told me that it was because of the number of units they sold teh last few years?????  Let me decide wether or not I want one then I'll let people know who the dealer is. 8)

Hey!

okay news broke on another website regarding the number plates for ZX6R/RR so I will pass on what was said there. and decided at Bib Mac but Kevin may have different wording; this is my interpretation and notes.

Numbers are allowed off center, ALA Colin Edwards RC51, BUT if you do this the numbers must be on the scored side of bike only and NO numbers allowed on unscored side. The numbers used should be 8" if you can fit them, for 3 digit numbers you will be allowed to use 6" numbers. This can be done with any bike not only those that require it, ZX6R/RR is only bike that needs it; RC51 and R6 can be moved up above intake and placed on part of windshield.

So for instance at Gateway you would have numbers on the port side at Summit Point they would be on starboard side.

Center of bike as required previously is 100% legal, 100% of the time and is still preferred method.

Just a note to ease scoring matte finish numbers on matte background are easiest to score. Background color of Schoolbus yellow or pure white are best. 1" or more of seperation from number plate to paint job. If you have an all white bike(or yellow) then keep the stickers or decorations away from numbers. The number plate is supposed to have two things on it ONLY your number (with CCS approved font and size) and tech sticker.

Thought you guys might be interested in this info.  Just got done mapping the new 636 and R6.  The Zx636 made 106.8 stock with PCIII and the R6 made 102.4 stock with PCIII.  The 636 had 8 horse more at 8500 and 6 more at 10500.  Should have the ZRR soon!

So your saying you put a pc3r on a otherwise stock bike to get those numbers?

Re: I am broke, that's why its a question of weather or not to get one.

You mean if the weather is bad you might not get one? I'm really not sure whether the weather will make any difference regarding your decision. ;D

Bet I get close to 115 with an akro evolution and no pc, I refuse to use those POS's.
TFI or teka only.

Kawasaki's 2003 ZX-6R (636cc) and ZX-6RR (600cc) models are currently arriving in dealerships, while race kit parts and racing contingency program details should be available in February.

Kawasaki's Mel Moore told Roadracingworld.com that the first production run of ZX-6Rs and ZX-6RRs were arriving in Kawasaki dealerships and that production of the homologation special, 600cc ZX-6RR has been increased to meet strong demand. Moore wouldn't say exactly how many RR-models would be produced but did say, "If someone really wants one, they should be able to get one."

As for race kit parts, Kawasaki Product Specialist, Accessories Division Jeff Hoeppner reported to Roadracingworld.com that race kit valve springs, velocity stacks, cam shafts, engine control modules (ECM) and thinner gaskets would be available in February although pricing information was not immediately available. Furthermore, it hasn't been determined at post time if race-kit bodywork, wind screens, footpegs, clip-ons, brake levers or close-ratio transmission gears would be imported into the United States.

Kawasaki plans to announce its 2003 racing contingency programs within about two weeks.
