What is the best oil for this bike. - 2003 kawasaki ZX-6RR

Most are about 3.5 quarts with new filter. Best way to handle this is warm the bike for a bit then drain oil, put new filter on, then add 3 quarts of oil( put the drain plug back before adding oil), Start bike for a few seconds then shut off. Get on right side of bike and pull it upright , look at the little glass window located on the lower right side of bike. Add oil until the oil is in the center of glass window.....Important, make sure bike is upright to get a accurate reading.

Good luck

Hi
Any good quality SAE 10W/40 oil up to SF grade or if specified for motorcycles will do fine
Car oil has friction reducing properties which are no good for bike clutches!!

Check oil when bike is cold...... here is the best procedure.

Ride bike (and enjoy)
Park bike on side stand, let sit for at least 10 minutes or overnight. (lets oil drain out of cooler into sump)
Put bike on center stand. Bike should be on level ground
Check oil level in window on lower LHS of engine.
Level should be anywhere inside of red circle in sight glass.
DO NOT OVERFILL let level get down to lower edge of red circle before adding oil

Good Luck!

with the oil filter it should be 3.7 quarts

Oil is a matter of preference,just as the brand of bike.Find a forum for your bike and see what all the other owners are using and recommend.The forums are a good source for info on specific models of bikes..Thanks

i use 20/50 racin oil in my bike yamaha brand from dealer only 1 dollar diff than any other oil about 5 or6 a quart

Stick with the major brands; Pennzoil, Quaker State, Mobil or Shell. 10w40 is what goes in the engine. I am not familiar with the Cagiva brand motorcycle, but you probably have an oil dipstick on the end of the oil filler cover. Fill the gearbox until the oil is mid-point in the indicated range, probably 3 quarts will do.

Change the oil filter also, (assuming the bike has one). Recheck oil level after running the engine for a minute. This allows the oil filter to fill up. Often the oil capacity is shown right next to the oil filler hole. If there is no dipstick and no oil capacity information at the filler hole then best to contact the dealer and ask.

Please rate this answer. Thanks Octavia! < nice name

you should change the oil in 1000KM

I use amsoil for my bike. Suppose to be the best oil around. The online dealers are a little expensive, but I found a local shop that sells it at a reasonable price.
