2003 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R
2003 KAWASAKI NINJA® ZX-6R
Increased Displacement and a New Chassis
The chief aim in designing the 2003 Kawasaki NINJA® ZX-6R was to increase performance, reduce weight, and make the bike more compact. By bumping displacement to 636cc, adding electronic fuel injection, incorporating a centrally located ram air duct and redesigning the valve train, along with numerous other changes, goals were achieved and the new ZX-6R was born. The cylinder head, cylinder crankcases, engine covers and other engine components were redesigned to meet Kawasaki engineer's goals.
Encompassing the new engine is a chassis developed for the racetrack. There are new radial brakes, a recalibrated fully adjustable Kayaba suspension package and a new riding position that accommodates the serious rider. A compact all-LCD illuminated instrument panel, LED taillight and redesigned headlamp make the ZX-6R ready for the street as well.

Liquid cooled, in-line four cylinder DOHC four-stroke, 636cc engine designed for race track performance

Cylinder head lowered 10mm reducing weight and adding to engine performance

Muffler housing changed from aluminum to stainless providing longer lasting finish

Intake/Exhaust valves 10mm shorter reducing weight and improving high-rpm performance

Ram air duct centrally located to reduce the number of parts and overall weight, as well as improving intake efficiency

Adjustable cam sprockets, lighter and more compact

Less lift in cam shafts equates to more top-end performance

Digital fuel injection replaces carburetors to improve performance and responsiveness

Front fork assembly is more rigid, providing improved brake feel over a wider range of operation.

Transmission ratios are closer to meet the demands of track

Rear brake leverage ratio changed improving brake feel and stopping power

New Kayaba inverted 41mm front fork. Fork is fully adjustable, more rigid, and provides for less for unsprung weight

Stabilized performance over the entire stroke is the result of a new Kayaba fully adjustable rear shock

Riding position more aggressive due to modified tank, seat and one piece forged aluminum handlebar

Newly designed all-LCD instrument panel illuminates and includes lap timer/stop-watch function, aerodynamic pillion seat cover is standard

MSRP $7,999
