SPROCKET ADAPTERS
KAWASAKI ZX6
BEFORE REMOVING STOCK SPROCKETS
FROM THE CAMS...note that the stock sprocket has the markings;
IN and EX with lines. On the intake cam, scribe a line or make
a center punch mark in line with the line under "IN".
On the exhaust cam, mark it in line with the line under "EX".
Now carefully remove the sprockets.
Install the APE sprockets
on the adapters so that the bolt is centered in the slot and
snug bolts. On the APE sprockets, the single dot represents the
line under IN. Position the adapter on the intake so that the
dot lines up with the mark you made on the cam. Remove sprocket
and install adapter.
Repeat for the exhaust
cam with the double dots representing the line under "EX".
Clean all oil from the
adapter and use Locktite. Press the adaptor on straight. If it
is not installed straight, the sprocket will wobble.
After cams are degreed
in, lock bolts to 17-19 ft. lbs. of torque. OVER TIGHTENING
CAN DAMAGE ADAPTER OR BOLTS. Cam degreeing supplies are available
from APE.
As the heads of these bolts
are short, be sure to use a socket without excessive chamfer.
It may be necessary to modify a socket to fit cam bolts correctly. |
