The 1993 Kawasaki ZX6 Ninja motorcycle has a 600 cc, in-line four-cylinder engine. Many motorcycle enthusiasts perform their own maintenance and repairs to their bikes. Knowing the firing order of the engine is necessary when changing spark plugs, ignition coils or checking and adjusting valves.
The ZX6, as with most four-cylinder motorcycle engines, is mounted transversely in the frame. When sitting on the bike, the cylinders are numbered 1-2-3-4 left to right.
The firing order is 1-2-4-3. There is no distributor for the engine, as ignition is controlled electronically.
There are only two ignition coils for this engine. Each coil has two spark plug wires. One coil fires cylinders 1 and 4. The other fires cylinders 2 and 3.
