It covers the installation of Chinese fairings, replacement of brake and clutch levers, adjusting the gear selector, and lubricating the chain. This guide is perfect for motorcycle enthusiasts looking to restore their bikes to operational condition.

Step 1: Assemble Chinese Fairings

• Purchase Kit: Acquire a Chinese fairing kit for the Kawasaki ZX6R from a reliable source like eBay.
• Prepare the Motorcycle: Ensure the bike is in a stable position and remove any damaged or old fairings.
• Install New Fairings:
  • Align each piece of the new fairing with the mounting points on the motorcycle.
  • Secure the fairings using the provided screws, making sure they fit snugly without forcing any components.
• Check Alignment: Make sure all fairings are properly aligned and there are no gaps.

Step 2: Replace Brake and Clutch Levers

• Remove Old Levers:
  • Use a wrench to unscrew the bolts holding the old brake and clutch levers in place.
  • Carefully remove the old levers from their respective mounts.
• Install New Levers:
  • Position the new ASV brake and clutch levers in place.
  • Secure them using the bolts you removed earlier. Ensure they move freely and are not obstructed by other components.

Step 3: Adjust the Gear Selector

• Inspect Selector: Check if the gear selector is bent or misaligned.
• Straighten Selector:
  • If it is bent, gently apply pressure to straighten it while being cautious not to break it.
  • Ensure it moves smoothly through all gear positions.

Step 4: Lubricate the Chain

• Clean the Chain: Before lubrication, clean the chain with a suitable degreaser to remove dirt and grime.
• Apply Lubricant:
  • Use a quality chain lubricant.
  • Apply evenly while rotating the rear wheel to ensure complete coverage of the chain.
• Wipe Excess: After lubrication, wipe off any excess to prevent dirt attraction.

Step 5: Final Checks and First Ride

• Inspect All Components: Double-check that all parts are securely fastened and functioning correctly.
• Test Ride: Take the motorcycle for a short test ride to ensure everything works properly and the bike handles well.
• Adjust if Necessary: After the test ride, make any necessary adjustments to the levers or other components based on feel and performance.
