Reddit post by u/SnooPineapples9340 (r/motorcycles). Brand-new 2024 Kawasaki ZX-6R shut off while shifting to second about six days after purchase (~block from home) and would not restart. Dealer later reported catastrophic engine failure requiring internal engine diagnosis after only about 600 miles, with a warranty claim underway.
