  • Ninja 650 does not exceed 3000 rpm

    Hello, because I now have my driver’s license I drove today with my new Ninja 650. The motorcycle somehow does not get beyond 3000U/minute. I am in the zb in the 5th gear and come with effort to about 60 KMH. It also feels somehow as if the motorcycle does not get out of the shoes properly. Is there perhaps a speed limiter in there for the entry phase? Or is the whole thing normal and gives itself over time?

  • Tyre choice Z900

    Hello together, I’m looking for a good tyre for my Z900 as shown on the title. I don’t know myself very well because I’m relatively new and that’s going to be my first tyre purchase. I’m actually looking for the best possible compromise between grip and durability. So it doesn’t have to be a high performance tire, but it should still be able to take a curve with a little momentum. After some research I came across the Diablo Rosso 3, someone can say something. or do you perhaps have much better or cheaper tips? Cost-effective is not meant to pay as little as possible, but rather so that I don’t want to pay unnecessarily much. Perhaps as a hint, the first tire is the Dunlop D214 Z and I’m quite satisfied with that. (I think at least, but I don’t have any benchmarks, just a little more longevity I would like) Thank you and LG

  • Curricious problem: battery is not charged

    Servus people, maybe one of you can help me! My KLR650 got TÜV 4 days ago and is already standing still. After I could flex for about a quarter of an hour without any problems, it went out during the ride. Keys turned around again but indicator lamp Neutral does not glow. E starter does not work either. Pushing is relatively easy, then it also works well. However, from there on the light did not go right. Quite dark and flickering. If you slow down, the Light brighter, also when blinking. Also very funny: temperature indicator and rev indicator only go when the light is switched on during the ride. When the light is switched off nothing is displayed. New battery (full) installed and new indicator rear with load independent relay. While doing so maybe something wrong connected ? E starter and light also a few days later does not work. Push no problem. Someone an idea ? Gracias!

  • Complete system Z900?

    Hello together, I have a Z900 and wanted to ask you a question, do you know or are there any legal exhaust complete systems that might bring the sound over a little more satter than it can the original system? On the Internet there are some providers but how do I recognize whether the are legal? What I really don’t want is that I suddenly get the further drive in the middle of the Black Forest, then I prefer to stay with the original system with Euro 4 “Sound”. I hope you can m I’m helping!

  • Tightening torque sprocket and sprocket Z400 year 2020

    Hey, I’d like to change my chain as well as the sprocket and sprocket on my Z400 year 2020. Could someone tell me what the respective tightening moments are for the screws on the sprocket as well as for the sprocket? Thank you already in advance! PS: Where can I find the workshop repair manual for the new Z400s from the current millennium?! I don’t find anything for my model on the Internet. Is Kawasaki generally rather reluctant when it comes to such information? other manufacturers are clearly more transparent. At least this is my impression.

  • Workshop manual for GTR 1000, year 2000, searched

    Moin, bought me a GTR 1000, Bj 2000 a few days ago. Since there is no Kawa screwdriver in my vicinity, it should go to a Suzuki screwdriver. Understandably, he needs a WHB. Can someone help me? I know that I don’t get it for lukewarm, but I don’t have to be around 100 € either. Thank you for your help.

  • Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 636 for ”beginner”

    Meal Together, first short to my person: I am currently 23 years old and have been driving a Honda NSR 125 since I was 16 years old I made a 20th driver’s license class A, but I stayed with my Honda because the money for a new purchase was not there… Now I finally finished my 2nd training and the money is there, so I looked around a bit and fell in love with the Kawasaki ZX-6R 636, new price according to dealer somewhere at 12.00€ +/- depending on design. Now my question to the motorcyclists among you whose rear has been sticking to a 2wheel for longer than a big scooter: Bad idea? Good idea? Is the motorcycle suitable to ”begin”? I can estimate myself pretty well and am actually not the type of the mentally ill is racing at the speed where is of course a fine thing, otherwise I don’t need to get a super sportsman. By the way, I am more or less tall, so about 183cm. I was already a pro-occupied but I didn’t see how to race with a super sportsman at all?

  • Tacho at Kawasaki Z750 fails

    Hello Kawasaki friends, since the end of last year I have the Proplem with my Z750 Built. 2007 that my speedometer fails during the ride. The speedometer still works, only the tachometer and the digital display fail. (Kilomenter are not counted either.) I installed a new battery at the beginning of last year and installed new indicators on the front because the old ones were broken. I already checked all cable connections and even disassembled the speedometer to examine the circuit board for cold soldering points. Has not done anything. Partly it falls out for a short time and then runs again high but sometimes it spins for a long time. Does any of you still have an idea / solution. Thank you!

  • GPZ 600 R in the workshop

    Hello, my old sweetheart has just brought to the workshop. To calm down, because I will be on vacation next week. I said at the phone that the carburetors would have to be synchronized. When the engine is warm, it runs great. Did a tour of about 300 km the day before yesterday, was totally enthusiastic. Then thought to me, the tour did the machine well, but today it has started again only laboriously and the extreme flapping and clacking and unround running in the cold condition is still there. The head of the Kawa workshop started my moped and only said: claps but quite nicely… then he has “synchronize carburetors” and “adjust valves” noted. He reports when it is finished or should find something “extraordinary”. Really hope that he doesn’t hit me over the ear, because I didn’t exactly have a good feeling… What does it mean to you: what does the synchronizing of the carbures and valves do? Does the engine seem to be quiet then? Do you have a good idea of it?
