Useless stuff…..
Not the sexiest bike Kawasaki ever made, but the ZZR600D was a good, reliable and solid sports tourer/commuter and was fairly comfortable to ride.
These beasties can be bought fairly cheap and are often used as winter bikes and commuters and are popular as a beginners first fully faired / sports style bike.
Although the colours changed over the years the ZZ-R600-D model was around, the model remained unchanged (so 1990 model parts SHOULD fit a 1992 model!).
BUT, the ZZR600-E model (which was launched in January 1993) had LOADS of updates and changes including a redesigned frame, so most earlier ZZR6 parts (including the ZZR600-D) won’t fit the ‘E’ model 🙁

Buying advice…….
If buying second hand, you get ALOT of bike for your money and they have enough speed for a beginner.
But, check the exhausts. The original downpipes and cans were mild steel and in the unlikely event there still on the bike, they will have been botched and welded.
Replacement stainless Steel ZZR600D headers are available (but cost mucho £££!).
Because this was a 4 into 2 system, buying replacement exhaust cans is usually about double the cost of most bikes (’cause you’ve got to buy 2 cans instead of 1).
Also check the oil cooler as these are prone to rot and won’t cool the oil if the cooling fins have gone!

Hi, I hope you can help. I’m looking for a few parts, as my zzr was dropped on it’s left side.
Do you have any of the following?? If so how much would you be looking for them??
Generator cover, left side.
Pedal/gear bracket footrest front left side.
Clutch lever
Rear pedal and pin, left side pillion.
Also the screen.
(I may also need some more parts)
I’m in St Helens, Merseyside, WA11. I could pick up depending location and such.
Many thanks for your help! kay
Hello, yep, we have the gear pedal, pillion footpegs, clutch lever and the screen in the section of our website below:
Kawasaki ZZR 600 parts….
All the parts listed in the Kwak ZZR600 spares section are in stock.
Delivery would cost you £5.95 for the parts and you can pay by credit/debit card or Paypal through our website.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a generator cover 🙁
How much would you have sold the generator cover for if you had it in stock??
just trying to figure a price??
Many thanks, ste
As much as we could possibly get…………………………..
Probably around £30 or so.
The ZZR 600 generator covers seem to go for between £25 to £55 on Ebay.
Hi, do you have the back brake disc? If so, could you measure it for me and tell me if its a little over 9 inches or bigger? i have just bought one and its too big!
Regards
mike
Hello, no, we don’t have a rear brake disc from this bike.
do you have the stator generator for this bike if so can you advise price & delivery to glasgow
Nope, sorry, already been sold.
I have two Kawasaki 600 engines, could you tell me if they D or E series, the engine number are:
ZX600DEO82— and ZX600DEO27—, thanks, John.
The 1993 ZZR600 D engine we had started with the engine number ZX600DE037—.
The engine you have with the number ZX600DE027— is probably an earlier 1990 or 1991 ZZR600 D1 or D2 engine.
The other engine you have with the number ZX600DE082— is a later ZZR600 E engine (might be an around 1998 ZZR600 E7 engine?)
Hi , On my 92 ZZR600 , I wanna change the front fork oil ok. So I took off the handle grips to expose caps , how ever I cant see how I get them off to fill with oil ? There is no bolt to unscrew like other bikes I have owned ?
Any help with this appreciated.
Dave.
Got to admit it’s been a long time since I changed the fork oil on a ZZR600 but I think you have to take the cap out of the top of the fork, then there’s either a circlip to remove or it might be a big allen key top on the top of the fork?

Hello. Looking for top fairing, tank, belly pan for 1990 black/red stripe model please. Consider full body kit.
Unfortunately, we can’t help with any of the parts you are after (they’ve already been sold) 🙁
reading the autobiography of the zzr600d1 … has been amusing, particularly the blogs … the zr600d1 … pictured reminds me of the old gpz models 250, 750. 1100 … as to a novice bike and speed, the zzr600d1@74kw & 195 dry weight is app. 270kw/tonn. in australia a learner legal bike is limited to 660cc & <150kw/tonn. i do not know if a lot of ppl know how to work it out, particularly the police? i got my zzr600d1 bike after a gpz250T & it has more than enough speed for a novice …
I’m looking for a set of downpipes for my p reg zzr600 mist be a 4 into 2 split
Motad exhausts do a good quality 4 into 2 set of downpipes for the ZZR600 E (http://www.motad.co.uk). The downpipes are around £240 + vat.
hi there i`m after a front wheel speed sensor for zzr 600 d1
Unfortunately, we’ve already sold the speedo drive from this bike 🙁
Can u tell me why there are two fuel lights on my 1992 Kawasaki ninja zzr600D.
I think the idea behind it was that you have a spare fuel warning light incase the bulb goes in 1 of them (as the ZZR600 D models don’t have a fuel level gauge)?
Thanks for the info………..
Can a fuel level gauge be installed? If so what would you recommend?
It looks like you can buy aftermarket fuel gauges?:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?site=&source=hp&q=motorcycle+fuel+gauge+kit
I’ve never fitted an aftermarket fuel gauge so I can’t recommend any.
would an igniter from a zzr600 E work on a zzr600 D series
Fairly unlikely, they have different part numbers and (I’m fairly certain) they have different connector blocks on the end of the CDI.
HELP I need a water pump for my zzr but i can not find one anywhere!! any ideas?
Sorry, can’t help you with the water pump (none left at present) 🙁
Do you have any idea where I can get one? There’s none on eBay for a d model and main dealer is £185 lol
Sorry, I don’t know anyone who might have one. Given the age of the bikes now your best bet might be a main dealer, at least you’ll know the pump is clean and working properly (most 2nd hand ones are heavily corroded or rusted now!)
Use an E series pump with the outer shell from the D series..
You’ll see..;-)
Where can i find the engine code??
The engine code is stamped into the crankcase on the top/right/middle of the engine (just behind the cylinders).
where can i find the cam shaft timing mark?
HI, PLEASE HELP ME ..

1991 kawasaki ninja 600D twin cam
Unfortunately, I haven’t got any engines or whole ZZR600’s to take a pic of for you…..
If you can’t get the bike in 2nd gear try checking the shaft isn’t damaged or bent at all and if it’s not try angling the gear lever down slightly more?
Hi i was just wondering if you had the top front fairing for a 1991 zzr 600 or know anywhere to get one cause i have searched everywhere and can’t seem to find one
Sorry, we don’t have any ZZR600 top fairings at present and I don’t know anywhere that may have one 🙁

Hi, I have just bought one a 1992 zzr600 and it has a fuel leak from the hose which is visible from the battery tray, very new to bikes so not sure the name of the part. Could you help?
I think it’s just called a fuel hose? You might be able to find the Kawasaki part number on the site below:
http://www.ronayers.com/Ninja-ZX-6-ZX600-D2-C401161.aspx
Alternatively, most motorbike workshops should carry fuel hose and could probably sort you out with a replacement bit if you take the old one down to them?
Hi,
I’m after the top cover for the little storage compartment on the top of dash that sits under the left grip. Anyone got a spare? They are rare!
Cheers
Unfortunately, we haven’t got one (already been sold) 🙁
Hi, do you still have d1 zzr600 front discs…if so a price with postage?
Sorry, the discs have already been sold 🙁
There’s a few sets for sale through the link below though?
ZZR600 discs
Why does my 1992 kawasaki ninja zx6 have 2 fuel lights on the instrument panel?
Possibly so that you have a spare fuel warning light incase the bulb goes in 1 of them (as the ZZR600 D models don’t have a fuel level gauge)?
Thinking about buying a 1990 ZZR600 that has engine problems? Have been looking online for a replacement engine, but have not found any. Thought I read that the 1990-93 ZZR600 were sold in England? If so, would this be why I dont see any replacement engines? Im in the states. Or, are were there just not many sold?
There’s a few ZZR600 D engines for sale in the UK (have a look on Ebay). Not sure why there’s not any engines in the States?
It could just be the fact that the youngest of these bikes will be 22 years old now (so that’s 22 years of people sourcing replacement engines, meaning they are in short supply now?).
I have a zzr600 D1 the bike has only done 8000 miles it will only do 95 at full throttle the sprocket size is front 15 rear 45 teeth ive had the carbs off there is no restrictors there and bike starts and runs fine I can hit 110 in theard gear but as you get into fith gear it will only pull 95 if your in fith gear to get it up to 95 it coughs and splutters a bit any idieas steve
I think 15 front and 45 rear was the standard size for the sprockets (so that shouldn’t be the problem). What was the RPM when you hit 110 in 3rd and the RPM when you pull 95 in 5th? Also, re the spluttering, how clean were the carbs when you removed them?
Some sneaky people put 400cc engines in and it’s hard to tell the difference..
Just smaller pistons, more head weight as smaller bores, maybe something to check.
Hi, is there apost to be engine oil in the stator generator? Thanksn
Not normally (at least not that I remember?)……
Hey I have a 1992 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6R twin and it smells like it runs rich, people have told me it smells like it runs way too rich how do I solve that problem. My idling won’t stay at one and a half it drops down to one every time.
You could try adjusting the fuel mixture ratio (there’s normally a screw on the side of the carb for adjusting the mix).
Or try balancing the carbs.
Or if these don’t work try taking the carb to pieces and cleaning it and checking for worn/damaged parts.
I ran our of gas yesterday it sucks. I have 1992 kawasaki ninja zx6. My fuel lights blink and the sensor makes a clicking sound when my key is in the on position and the oil light is on but not blinking. Is that normal because my lights does off when I start it up but didn’t come on when I was low on fuel. Also there is a tank P R I but I don’t know how it works because it’s just a nob with no markings.
As it’s an older bike, there’s no guarantee the fuel level sensor still works properly…..
I’m not sure if it has a fuel tap you can turn, most bikes that had a level sensor didn’t have a fuel tap with reserve on it as well (as they both do the same job).
Your best bet is to make sure the battery is fully charged, then keep trying to start the bike (keeping the throttle part way open). If there’s no faults it should start, but might take a short while for the fuel to get through if the carbs etc are totally empty?
Hey what’s shock seal does a spike use.
Erm, I don’t understand your question? 🙂
Hey I have a 92 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6. I need shock seals. Does anyone know which Steel’s fit this bike.
You’d probably be better off contacting a company like Hagon Shocks to see if they can help with the sizes:
http://www.hagon-shocks.co.uk/
Alternatively, you may be able to get the info from a Kawasaki dealer if they have a parts micro fiche or similar?
I have a 92 Kawasaki ninja zx600d and I need a front wheel because my wheel bearing broke inside my wheel and the only way to get it out was to melt the seat that the bearing goes in. So do you guys have a front wheel and do you ship to Ohio
Seems to be a few for sale on Amazon?
ZZR600 wheels…
Hi whitedog i just got a replacement on my clutch cover and in wondering why when i replaced my clutch cover why is there so much slack in my clutch cable i adjusted the initial clutch levers but still have slack any suggestions ??????
Is there any way to adjust the other end of the cable (not the lever end)?
There’s a rite and wrong way to re install the cable..
Look at another bike to see where you’re putting the lock nuts wrong..
I have a J reg zzr600 with the exact paint colours in the pictures pink/red and blue. Do you know what the paint codes are? I am particularly interested in the blue colour code.
Not sure to be honest, is there any stickers under the seat with the paint codes on them (or possibly on the side/front of the frame)?
Hi. Like the forum.
I recently baught a ZX600 92 model with 47000km on the clock. one coment is quite acurate, it does drive very well for a beginner and as a sports commuter. i do have a question, i paid R 28900.00 whats you comment on that. Southafrican curency. im shure the previous owner did take prety good care of it seeing that im the second owner and inly in the last month and half dis i put in 2000kms where as he inly did 47000 in 23 years. I did read a forum before where purchasing an old bike with low kms can be worrysome. It had a vance Hince exhaust which was pretty noisy to me. i fit a standard exh. my questions are? Is there a posebility that it can be fitted with a speed governer. I can only reach 120kmh with it even ef i gear down to 3rd. about 10000 rpm. but when i reach 120 theres just no way it goes faster.
Also what should its fuel consumtion be. this hike gives me about 10-12 km/litre of 95 octane petrol. And lastly, what is the resale value more less?
Thanks for the effort.
Regards
The bike could be fitted with a speed limiter. Does the bike not rev higher when the speedo reaches 120kmh?
But, it could be the speedo sticking?
I think you should be getting around 45mpg (170 miles per tank full) fuel wise, but, there are many factors that effect fuel usage (e.g. riding style, wind, tyre pressures, performance add on’s, your weight/luggage etc…).
I’ve got no idea what the resale value is in your country unfortunately as it depends on many factors like:
List goes on…….
The ZZR600 was always an entry level sports/commuter bike, in the UK it’s never been a ‘highly desirable’ bike, which means they don’t sell for huge amounts…
hi there you give out really good info on these bikes in their day they were one of the fastest 600s around although quite a heavy bike I dropped mine on some greasy road fell into the kerb fortunately motorists drove slowly round me looking down at me offering no help at all An old guy helped in the end to get my bike up and help me on my way .thanks for some great info .
The gearbox of kawasaki zzr 600 D1 is the same with the kawasaki zzr 600 E13 ?
Hi,I have water in my oil…..The bike is a ZZR 600 D2 in pristine condition. The air box is coated in white oil so the engine breather is blowing it in there.the bike runs ok for about 10 mins. Spark plugs look good, so unsure if this could be head gasket or the water pump. Is there anyway of a simple check for either? If it is the water pump,do you have one
Cheapest/easiest – Water pump/gasket/drive seal check:
Drain your coolant and oil(change as contaminated) pull your water pump out.
Two bolts are to hold it in and two opposite to seal the pump itself. (The pump can actually be removed without splitting it, thus keeping coolant system sealed still).
However, you will for this as you need to split the pump, to see if any play are on the internals.. (You may find the bearings have gone with the seal and the impeller rattles).
(I’ve done three on mine, good pump now).
If so, replace pump with a good clean tight E series pump but re-use the D series outer..
There’s an additional heater pipe on an E series thats not on a D.
Hi.. i bought a second hand d2 without exhaust.. found originals but won’t run. It start but poor power.
Maybe carbs with greater jets?
What are original setup?
Thanks
Hi, I have a question. The mono shock of model E is compatible whit model D.
Thanks a lot.
Hi does the zzr600e top fairing fit the D model???
Unfortunately, no, they have different mounting points.
Hi would you be able to tell me year and model my zzr is please by the frame no ZX600D00—- ENGINE NO 2X6C0DE61—-
It looks like it’s a ZZR600 D1 model between 1990 and 1991
Hi just wondering if you can tell me how to fix this problem when I hook the battery up an turn the key there is no power through the bike I have checked all the fuses an there all good and everything is connected were it should be ???? Starting to peck my head
Check the battery terminals are very tight (common reason for this fault).
If there ok and you have absolutely no power to anything, check the main fuse (normally just off the red / positive / + battery lead).
If still no joy you may need to check the batteries not dead.
Hi same guy can the cdi on the D1 model stop working or break no water has got init just thinking it cud be the problem for no spark atm or what do think could cause no spark had it running an then no spark weird one
Yes, CDI’s can fail with age (internal parts wear or burn out).
Normal reasons for no spark are old/duff spark plugs, damaged HT leads or plug caps (the leads that go from the coils to the spark plug) or faulty plug coils (again, these can degrade with age).
A volt meter might help you see it your actually getting and voltage to the coils?
Hi hope you can help me I have a 1992 zzr600 the problem is I can start up the bike fine an drive it round but after about 2-3 miles the bike starts to bog and cuts out if I try electric start it nothing happens so I left it for 15mins to cool down and it starts up an then drive again for it to cut out what could it be am puzzled over it ???
Could be a fuel or air pipe blockage (or a blockage in the carbs)?
You might also want to check you still have a good spark when the engine is hot (if the coils or HT leads are failing this can cause problems when the engines hot).
Hi. I’ve got a J plate ZZR600D2A that has just failed the MOT for rotten Headers. Any ideas where I can get another/new replacement from apart from Kawasaki’s ridkiculous priced ones. Thanks
You could try looking on EBay for a 2nd hand set, just check the descriptions carefully as there’s a few sets currently listed that need repair (link below):
ZZR600 exhausts on Amazon…..
Thanks for that. It’s really weird. My bike is a D2 but whenever I have searched for a D2 the majority of headers are 4 into 1, and my bike is a 4 into 2. Will keep searching thank you.
The 4 into 1 systems and will still fit your bike, although you may need a matching end can to go with it as the original can may not fit onto the system? Most aftermarket exhaust systems are 4 into 1 instead of the original 4 into 2 as this cuts down on the cost and retail price (2 end cans instead of 1 means double the cost unfortunately!)
Hi white dog bikes I’m hoping you could help me identify the year of an engine I have recently purchased with a buggy I’m in need of a wiring harness for it but without the year it was made I can’t purchase the correct one it is a Kawasaki ZX600DE088127 engine if you could help identify the year it was made that would be great.
Greetings,
First of all, thank you very much for all the info in this page. I’m the proud owner of a black D-Model.
I have a question.. is the head lamp on a ZZR600 D the usual H4 socket?
– I’d like to get the best light as possible, because I have to ride during the night.. Thinking about putting a LED lamp, but I’m confused about the socket. Care to help, kind sir?
Thank you very much.
Yes, it is a normal H4 bulb in the headlight.
Hi sorry to sound like a squid but what are the 3 nipples for under the bike located around the rear suspenion as 3 have randomly started leaking what appears to be oil and im panicking lol as only brought bike yesterday as was supposedly in min conditioin pther than some paint wear any advice is helpfull
They could be bleed nipples, used for greasing up the rear suspension parts? They might have been recently used and possibly need tightening?
If tightening them up doesn’t work, they are very cheap to replace (about £1.50 each, Google ‘Kawasaki 490011051’ and you’ll find them).
Lol i hope its that because my rear suspension is basicaly a bed spring and im bouncing on the road

Hello, i have a problem, my engine has code ZX600DE032838 (zzr600 D but i dont know that is the d2 or d3, 1992 year in papers) and its completly broken, i can buy engine with code ZX600DE074066 from zzr 600 1996. I know that its E4 mode but there isnt any ignition parts or wiring harness from E models, its only engine radiators and speedo for sell, can i replace other parts from my D model to that engine? And the E model engine fit to D model frame?
Please help 🙂
Greetings from Poland
E engines are different to D’s..
Hello, everyone.
My clutch cable snapped.. Does anyone knows the specs (lenght), so I can look for it? Thank you very much.
Hello Sir
Best place to look is on the Kawasaki website.
They have detailed drawings on line so that you can order or get second hand the correct one.
Be careful on their drop down list that you select the correct bike.
I have a ZZR600D and on their website mine is a ZZR600-D not ZZR600D.
It makes all the difference as I recently purchased the incorrect model from Cradely Kawasaki ( who are excellent). They swapped it for me when they realised I had ordered from the wrong menu.
Hope this helps !
Hi i have a 1992 zzr600d where can i get a fuel tank sender sensor ? Its a pain in the butt having to guess whats in there .
Where can i get a fuel tank sensor for a 1992 zzr 600d ?
You could try companies like Fowlers (not used them, but they do alot of Kawasaki parts)?
eBay has a few breaking now, so be quick..
It’s a D, you’ll only be able to replace the warning sensor..
No such thing as a fuel gauge in these, just two warning lights..
No option for a reserve tap either..
You gotta live with checking and not having a reserve..
Needing gearbox parts for 93 E model zzr600, can anyone help ?
I need information on 1990 zzr600d fuel tank tap.
It has outlets for two pipes one larger for fuel to the carbs and the other smaller.
I assume the smaller one is a vacuum pipe but as I dismantled my bike eleven years ago and am now deciding to put it back on the road I am unable to remember or see where the smaller pipes goes.
Also need 2 new hairpin R springs for front calliper pad retaining pins and offside front mudguard clip that secures offside brake hose.
Having great fun putting it back.
Tank cleaned
Three callipers rebuilt
New discs.new pads
New tyres
New starter solenoid
New carb valves and gaskets
Master cylinders overhauled
New battery
New tank tap diaphragm
Oil, air and fuel filters
Oil
Angled grease nipples
Chain and sprockets were replaced just before I laid the bike up so have now been cleaned.
New antifreeze and flush
