next spanner day?

Postby Six Addict » Thu Mar 26, 2009 11:42 am

so ive got to change the plugs on the 6, as they are due at 30,000 klicks and they've been in there for a while, so is anyone having a spanner day anytime soon?? or does anyone of the KSRC certified mechanics have a spare arvo to guide me through the process??

ive managed to change the oil by myself so all i need to do now is the plugs...

cheers

I got a rattle gun an compressor but NFI.....If I go -1 front I wont change the chain....Will order sprockets 2morrow when I pick my bike up from Aitken's...

Might go -1 front +1 rear for the thrill factor if my chain has length.....I never go over 100 anyway's.That is between when the bike comes out for washes and stickers ;) :lol:

Oh and if I do get a vortex set of sprockets doe's anybody know if it is a 520 chain? :oops:

not sure what yours has but it would be either 520 or 525.

How many KM's on the chain now?

If you have the rattle gun I am more than happy to give you a hand.

kawasaki.com says it is a 520. Chain should be OK. MCA or MAW should do vortex spockets

I think one of your ratle gun's might be the go Rob. Jamie was saying when he changed his on his 6 they were stupidly tight and needed a big mother rattle gun.So i'm thinking y super cheap auto one may not cut the mustard :oops: ...But if Blurr still wan't to have a go :kuda:

I ordered the -1 front from Aitken's today he said the end of the week so it won't be wednesday Rob :( .....

Bring it to the track on Saturday.. If heaps of cars turn up, we'll have a bit time between sessions to sort it..

Or if Wattie or others come out there, they can help.
