The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R takes the YTX9-BS case. The Antigravity ATZ-10 RE-START is a drop-in for that case: 360 cranking amps, 2.6 lb, a built-in jump start that saves enough charge to get you home. Some trims of this model take a different battery; check the code on yours.

The Ninja ZX-6R is a motorcycle where the battery changed mid-run: 1995 to 2002 takes the ATZ10 and 2003 to 2026 the YTX9-BS. The plate above names the source for each year, and the table shows every run we have on file, so match the year to the case before you order.
For 2003 to 2026 that means the Antigravity ATZ-10 RE-START: 360 cranking amps, 2.6 pounds, the same case in lithium. Its RE-START function puts the battery to sleep before a parasitic draw can drain it, then wakes it with one press for a jump start. Some trims of this model take a different battery; check the code on yours. Charge it with a lithium-compatible charger or maintainer for the off-season and it outlasts the lead-acid battery it replaces by years.
