Hello, I bought a Kawasaki GPZ 400 FII. Since she was from abroad she did not have a German paper. I now need a single purchase for the assembly of the TÜV. The good man from the TÜV could not find out data about the engine and the guys from Kawasaki could not help me. Can someone send me a data sheet or the BE number which has about the same engine. Has probably an import and not been sold in Germany. Frame number: Z X400C 003564 Must have around 46kw. Please help and thank you!!!!

Huhuu I have now also put in a nice GPZ550 ^^ Wants to carefully get to the bottom of the planer. Decomposed and recharged battery, does not seem to be deep discharge. Now I have looked for oil there is this bulleye, next to it stands 3L The short measuring rod is just so oily on the tip and in the bulleye you can see nothing, so nothing of the oil. Question 1.: If 3L were filled up how high should be to be seen in the bulleye about?? Question 2.: Could I have some oil first take what I only use for a short time?? Of course I could try it myself, which I will also do is only today Sunday and I would like to try for a short time if it will jump on, the oil I would then exchange next week for 10W-40 partlyynth. Thanks already for answers

Hello Before I start briefly to me. Have healthily LRS. Before there are again stupid sayings about my text here. My problem on the motorcycle is as follows. Had bought this part and ran there also great. However, a test drive was not possible through the weather. ( Rain and ice on the road ) In the stand she left herself switching with running engine. When I wanted to drive the part 3 weeks later the carburetor ran over and so strong that I even had to change the gear oil. When I put out the clutch cable, the clutch did not release any more. Now the clutch is pulled than it is. What can this be? Will I get the one where I remove the clutch basket and put it back in properly? How do I get the dirt like light rust from my tank? What do I have to pay attention to when disassemblying the carburetor battery? What can I possibly get to who I do this two thing? I ask because I never had such problems with my Suzuki. Maybe you have heard or read these problems already 1000 compartments. I still ask for relevant instructions ! Mfg. Uwe

Hello guys, looking for a motorcycle for my partner I came across the EL 252. 1. My partner does not yet have a motorcycle driver’s license, she is only about 158 cm tall, very petite and at an advanced age. 2. Under these conditions we decided that she needs a light chopper with which she should take her driving lessons and her exam. The driving schools in our vicinity have only motorcycles that are too big and too heavy for my partner. n we already bought a GN 250, because we thought that they can make their A2 driver’s license on it. Unfortunately, this is not possible, because a motorcycle for A2 has to have at least 400 cc and 27 hp. By 2017 there is a transitional regulation, which also means that motorcycles with a cylinder capacity > 250 cc, with at least 27 hp and a power/weight ratio are not more than 0.16, are also allowed. This requirement applies to the EL252 with 253 ccm. Now I already have some test drive with various EL252 behind me and I noticed that the stationary gas only gradually reaches the idle speed of about 1000 rpm with many EL ́s in idle mode. In my test drive today the engine even went out occasionally and the engine could only be started again with choke and some gas specification. Therefore, keep the so far driven El ́s as a driving school bike rather unsuitable for. Can you also adjust the carburetor/clean it yourself? Does someone have a tip we Ichs Motorrad mit low seat height and low weight also meets these conditions. Thank you for your answers in advance Markus

Hello people, I have a question. I have two 1100 D models standing in the garage. one is built 93 and one 96 How does that happen that the 96 is registered with 270kmh and the 93 with 246kmh ? What is different about the older one? But it seems to me that the older one pulls much better than the 96. Can it be that the 93s has less scratching??? thus better pulls but less final speed? The 96 goes according to tacho a little over 300kmh but does not pull like the 93s… Can it be n with the pinion???

For many years, the Kawa has refused the start service if it is longer than about five days; then only something goes with start pilot or/and bridge from the car. Previously done: Original ignition coils exchanged for that of a GPZ. Renewed carburetor parts. Switched to DYNA contactless ignition. Powerful gel battery tried out, which resulted in partial success; but I had ruined the battery because I had connected it to a normal charger… Regulators and rectifiers by a compact unit replaced. Recently as good as all cables of the tree renewed, while eliminating some bad masses. Now I stand on the hose… Can someone help me down there again?

Hello…….. I introduce myself first, so my name is Stefanie, I am 30 years old and drive a white Kawasaki GPZ 600 R, built in 1987!! Now the tank was rusty from the inside with my Kawa, which I affectionately call Diva. Now what do??? I heard from a friend, take DanKlorix, let it work for a few hours and shake it again and again. So I tipped 2 bottles a 1.5 liters into the tank, shaken, maintained, shaken, waited etc. then the Zeuchs so after 2.5 hours ra The rust is still there!!!! Think, think, think!! What to do??? I then bought 3 bottles (as an experienced housewife) Bref Power Cleaner. Bref is really a super Zeuchs, let it work only briefly on soap residues or lime stains, rinse off FERTIG!!!!! It is a red bottle with a white spray head, now stands on the label against lime, rust, dirt, soap residue. And you should not let it work for more than 5 minutes. So I am full of action 3 Flasc hen a 0,75 liters in the tank tipped, let it work about 1.5 – 2 hours and shake again and again in between, then Bref out, rinse properly with water afterwards and see there, the tank looks from inside like NEW!!!! Lightning blank, no rust anymore!!!!!!! So against rust I can only recommend you Bref Power Cleaner !!!!!!!!!!!! Many dear greetings and always a safe ride wish the Diva and Stefanie

Hello dear Kawafriends… for a few days now I find, when I drive over Kopfsteinplaster, that there is a blow on the handlebar..You can feel it right… on a straight track everything is normal.

Today call from the same.Yes the diving tube has Riefen, the springs are still good.Woln for both dampers with new ÖL and the Simmering seals 500 Euro. Have an old Kawa El 250 B year 1992 has now almost 54,000 KM down.. Actually I hang on to the part. What do you mean for the price…is here in Berlin a brand workshop. Gruss Dettilein123

Hello together, yesterday I bought a Kawa er5 bj 2004. Unfortunately I noticed only at home a funny cracking or rubbing when the machine is in idle.It sounds like I’m making the gear in, this noise comes sporadically. from the driving behavior everything is top and nothing unusual to recognize. I now contacted the previous owner. He only said this was a vergader motor and at the age completely normal…I am afraid that there can be something more serious behind it. e, unfortunately I’m not all to experience and novice driver…I hope someone can help.lg
