Items subject to tech but not limited to. Top 5 drivers to draw tech items randomly.
• Displacement 600cc
o Remove right side crank case cover so the engine can be turned over.
o Remove cylinder #1 spark plug
o Find cylinder 1 2 3 or 4 bottom dead center.
o Measure Bore Dimension = B in mm
o Measure Stroke Dimension = S in mm
o Displacement =(B/2)x(B/2) x 3.14 x S x 100 (to get to CC’s)

• Porting: No porting on intake or exhaust
o Remove throttle bodies, look for grinding, sanding, or filling in ports
-ZX6R has some grinding marks from the factory
o Remove exhaust pipes, look for grinding and/or sanding

• Stock Gears, Clutch Operable: No removing factory gears from transmission.
o Put car in gear; pull in clutch handle to make sure car rolls free.
o Shift engine through all 5 or 6 gears. Start down in first, shift through all
5 or 6 gears to make sure there is no neutral anywhere except between first
and second. Each time the engine is shifted, rock car back to be sure the
gear is installed.
o Close ratio gears can be checked for by setting up a pointer on the front
sprocket and counting the number of times the front sprocket turns relative
to the Crank Shaft. Gears 1-4 will have to be checked. You will need the
ratios for that particular engine (many can be found in the Hyper catalog)
and a degree wheel to mount on output shaft.

removed, and must remain in complete working order. No factory racing charging
systems.
o Check to be sure the wires coming from the flywheel cover are connected
to the rectifier and that the rectifier is connected to the engine harness.
o If charging system is suspected to be missing or incomplete the flywheel cover may be
removed to prove it is not there. The advantage comes when the flywheel
weight is removed, so if the flywheel is there and the charging system is
not working but is hooked up this is OK. If any pieces are missing or it is not hooked up this is a DQ. Use volt meter to see if it is working.
