bogs down at anything over about 50km/h... i assume this is because its not getting enough air?
i thought it might run a bit shit, but not this shit, almost came to a stop in the lane cove tunnel it was going that slow
hmmmm, does the zx6r have the carb balancing hse thingies in the intake ducts?
anyone with a 9 will be able to show you what im talking about.
was there any hosey things inside the air intake??
yeah ive got a balancer tube, its sticking out the front of the bike at the moment...
and yeah glenno thats what i thought...
Gos' bike is fuel injected.
Those little balancer tune things do something for the carbys

It was struggling down the straight without the ram air. Even 600's were going past him.

I'm thinkin I'll have a peep under the tank to see if anything has come loose in the airbox area... Otherwise it'll probably need re jetting...

I had that trouble on my 9 once and it was that the balancer tubes had come loose.
(or I didn't refit them properly)
One was loose on the metal end (front) - the other loose at the carb

Thanks Ty, I'm hoping that's the problem, I may have yanked the front breather tube whilst removing everything else!

Plenty of bikes have been 'fightered' so surely a trusted mechanic could sort this out for not much outlay?

ok, minor update... shrek snorkels were removed and the bike now runs much better (still kinda shit), id be guessing i now need to rejet/change the needles, to get a proper A/F ratio... at least its rideable above 40km/h now

You need the bike to go above 50klms an hour to be a track bike
Does it start up ok? Pull the choke on while it's running see if it's lean???
