There was excessive noise, like a tapping, coming from the cams. I go back to the dealer but they said the noise was normal. I cant believe I bought into the garbage. I then look online on the forum boards and a great deal of other people have had this exact same problem. It is extremely noisy from the valve area and I feel as if the valves and cam are going to fail anyday. Everyone else says this is a common problem with this model but kawasaki will not suck up any cost to fix this. Extremely unpleased with this result in buying a new bike. I will never buy a kawasaki again. Please tell them…

Valve cover leak on 2007 kawasaki zx6r. Also a 'ticking' from the engine that has to do with timing chain. The oil leak is a danger being that it's on a motorcycle. The 'ticking' is just a little annoying until it causes engine failure.

I own a 2007 kawasaki zx6r. From day one it has had an incredibly audible valve ticking noise. The noise is so bad that even at 6000 RPM with a helmet on the ticking can be heard. I have taken the bike to authorized kawasaki repair shops 3 times and they have replaced the camshaft chain tensioner but have not fixed the problem of the ticking. They keep telling me it normal. I have even tried to contact kawasaki but they do not care about the problem and just respond by saying take it to the dealer. I have also had to replace the valve cover gasket 3 times because it keeps leaking.

2007 kawasaki ninja zx-6r, owned for less than one year, experienced a catastrophic engine failure and the bending of two valves while riding. Could have caused a serious accident, damage was due to a manufacturer defect which a local dealership is now repairing. Vehicle has been out of service for over 100 consecutive days and I AM filing a suit under the lemon law to get manufacturer to repurchase vehicle.
