2014 Kawasaki ER-6f Overview

The 2014 Kawasaki ER-6f is a naked bike motorcycle built around 649 cc of displacement. Under the tank sits a Four stroke, parallel twin, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder engine, a compression ratio of 11.3;1. 2014 Kawasaki ER-6f delivers 53 kW @ 8500 rpm of peak power and 66 Nm @ 7000 rpm of torque. From a practical standpoint, the 2014 ER-6f tips the scales at 209 kg, carries a 16-litre fuel tank, offers a seat height of 805 mm and spans a 1410 mm wheelbase. That's roughly 8 kg heavier than the average naked bike in our database. Scroll down for the complete 2014 Kawasaki ER-6f spec sheet covering every technical detail from suspension travel to tyre sizes.

2014 Kawasaki ER-6f compared with other bikes in the Naked bike category

Here is how the 2014 Kawasaki ER-6f stacks up against other bikes in the Naked bike category in our database. Each model counts once, using the model year closest to this one, and the comparison covers up to 1666 models.

Seat height of 805 mm is taller than that of 843 of the other 1310 bikes in the Naked bike category.
Only 706 of the other 1665 bikes in the Naked bike category have a smaller engine displacement than the 649 cc of the ER-6f.
Narrowing the field to the 561 models within five model years of it, the seat height of 805 mm is taller than that of 323 of the other 560.

Versus the 2013 model

The figures we track are unchanged from the 2013 model: peak power, peak torque, wet weight, displacement and seat height all match.

2014 ER-6f - Pros & Cons

Strengths

Strong power output: 2014 Kawasaki ER-6f makes 53 kW @ 8500 rpm with 66 Nm @ 7000 rpm of torque - competitive figures for its class.
Fuel injection: The 2x 38mm Electronic Fuel Injection Keihin system delivers crisp throttle response and reliable cold starts regardless of altitude or temperature.
Strong front braking: The disc front brake gives excellent stopping power and responds well to aftermarket braided lines.

Considerations

Age-related wear: As with any used ER-6f, a thorough pre-purchase inspection covering consumables, service history and tyres is always recommended.

Wear Points & Servicing Notes

Cooling system servicing

The Liquid cooled, system on the ER-6f needs a coolant change roughly every two years (or per the service schedule) - skipping it lets the coolant turn acidic and corrode the aluminium water passages over time.

Fuelling & injector care

Fuelling comes from 2x 38mm Electronic Fuel Injection Keihin. Systems like this are largely maintenance-free beyond keeping fuel quality decent and injectors clear - a fuel-system cleaner every service interval is cheap insurance.

Brake disc and pad wear

The disc front brake gives strong, progressive stopping power. Disc thickness and pad depth are worth checking at every tyre change, since worn pads can score the disc surface.

Suspension condition on used examples

Up front, the ER-6f runs 41 mm telescopic fork and Offset laydown single-shock with adjustable preload at the rear. On a used example, check fork seals for weeping oil and test the rear linkage for play - seals are a relatively cheap fix but useful when negotiating price.

Frame & chassis check

The frame is Perimeter, high-tensile steel - worth a visual check for corrosion or impact damage around the head-stock and swingarm pivot on any used example, since frame damage is far costlier to fix than any service item.

ER-6f - Buying & Maintenance Guide

What to check before buying

When inspecting a used 2014 Kawasaki ER-6f with its 649 cc naked bike, start with the basics: check the service book for oil change frequency, inspect the drivetrain for wear, and look for oil seepage around the engine casings and rocker covers. Now 12 years old, this naked bike is as likely to show age-related wear (perished rubber, seized fasteners, degraded seals) as mileage-related wear. A cold start test is invaluable - a well-maintained ER-6f should fire up cleanly and settle to a smooth idle within a few seconds.

Oil and filter changes

Regular oil changes are the single most important maintenance task for the ER-6f's 649 cc four stroke, parallel twin, dohc, 4 valves per cylinder.. Stick to the manufacturer's interval - typically every 6,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. With an 11.3;1 compression ratio, running the octane grade specified in the manual matters more than on a lower-compression engine. Always use the correct viscosity grade as specified in the owner's manual.

Fuel system care

The ER-6f's fuel injection system is durable but benefits from quality fuel and the occasional use of a fuel-system cleaner additive. If the bike has been stored for more than three months, drain and replace the fuel to prevent varnish deposits in the injectors.
