Air Filters
- Layers of cotton gauze treated with a tacking agent that holds dirt. K&N states the media is designed to raise airflow for improved horsepower, throttle response and acceleration while protecting the engine.
Pleated panel
- The media is pleated to give a large filtering area within the stock panel shape.
Application-specific sealing bead
- The seal is shaped for the ZX-6R airbox so the filter seats in the stock housing without adapters.
No fuel-management changes typically needed
- K&N states this filter does not typically require fuel-management modifications.
Washable and reusable
- Clean and re-oil rather than replace. K&N calls for 0.89 oz (26 ml) of filter oil per re-oiling.
Made in the USA
- The filter is manufactured in the United States.

Description:K&N High-Flow Air Filter – Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R ’09–26
Product Overview
This is K&N’s washable replacement air filter for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, part number KA-6009. K&N lists it for every ZX-6R from 2009 through 2026 — the 599cc ZX600 of 2009–2012 and the 636cc bike from 2013 on, including the ABS, KRT Edition and 30th Anniversary versions.
It is a panel filter that takes the place of the paper element in the stock airbox. K&N builds it with a sealing bead shaped for this airbox, and states that fuel-management changes are not typically required to run it. It is a street replacement filter, not K&N’s race-spec design.
The filter arrives oiled and ready to fit. Instead of throwing it away at service time, you clean it and re-oil it, so it is bought once rather than every few services.
