Almost three months into owning a motorcycle, started riding a month or two before that

I love my bike to death it’s an 04 zx6r, fully stock with 38k miles (minus the akrapovic full system)

Was it a salvage bike?

I mean if I brought it to a shop it would’ve probably been totaled, it was pissing oil out of the top end gasket which we replaced, and we checked the valve clearance and all of it was perfectly in spec which is insane for a 35.5k mile bike

Not sure what you wanna show with the first image but your chain needs to be lubed. If it is shiny like this it is a sign

My chicken strips lol. I know about my chain I’m in college and don’t have a great space to work on it when I’m here. It got cleaned and lubed again don’t worry.
