I have just purchased a 2006 Kawasaki ZX6R. As i was driving home i realized that the FI (fuel injector) light was on. Then i went to open the gas tank and it was really hard to get open. Once i got it open the cap was full of white residue like chalk almost with a gas smell. I'm thinking that it was sitting with fuel in it for a while. Can this be the reason why the FI light is on? Also how can I fix this issue? Next i found that the front brake felt pretty soft. Then i looked at the resevior and it was missing fluid. Can this be the reason for the brake feeling soft? (soft as in, I need to pull it in harder to get a good brake). The bike is about to turn 10,000 miles soon. Besides having those issues above taken care of, what would you recommend? Full tune-up? (what would a full motorcycle tune up include) Also a new chain/sprocket? I don't have the original manuals (since the owner didnt provide them). If you can please tell me what you guys think i should do to the bike. So far i'm thinking:
*Clean Gas Tank
*Fuel Injector Cleaner (hopefully i wouldnt need to replace)
*New front tire
*New Chain/Sprocket
*All oil/fluid changes
*Possibly a tune-up (not sure at what mileage a bike requires this?)
Anyone who can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Also, I sort of bent my key in my gas tank. If i take it to a dealership could they cut me another one with it being slightly bent?
