'06 ZX-6R with 360 miles on it and I find this on the floor of the garage under the bike.

Where's it from?

 

[killerkid007]

try the kick stand, or rear brake lever

 

[lowthrizzle]

looks like the spring in the kickstand.

You sure its off the bike and not just coincidence that it was under it?

 

[nevada]

yeh i dont think thats from ur bike,outside it atleast. it looks like a plunger, maybe a brake master cylinder..or.....what have u been taking apart over there?

 

[tareksaleh77]

Not kickstand. Not rear brake.

 

[senfo]

Rear shock?

Only thing I did was an oil and filter change. Maybe it's just road debris. I'll let the main mechanic at the dealership look at it tomorrow.

they look like valve springs to me!

Valve Springs..hmmm, maybe he changes hes oil from the top

 

[mtgeek]

Any chance someone at the factory dropped one while they were building the bike and it finally dislodged?

Found a wrench in my car eninge once. Most likely from the previous owner.

lol, dont worry dude, I dont think its your valve spring.

You know what, it may be part of your bikes power band. I hear the newer models are switching to springs instead of bands to improve throttle response.

Thats bullshit that it would just fall out like that. I would call kawasaki and tell them you want your power band replaced immediateley.

flo, LOL

I would consider it weight reduction and move forward. Might be a good opportunity to upgrade to the muzzy clutch, +12.39567 HP.

They agreed with you! I'm taking it in tomorrow morning. They said the latter model 6R's have had issues with the spring drives and they would replace it with a traditional power band at no cost.

Thanks for the help!

Lol, thats what I'm here for.

Seriously though, I have no idea where that came from. I have been looking through some schematics to try and figure it out. I'll let you know if I find anything. I'm thinking it might not have come from your bike though.

Don't bother looking further. We've figured out it came from a tire pressure gage which blew up on Monday. Sorry for the goose chase, needed to put two people who had been in the same place at different times together.
