My GPZ 1100 annoys me – I had already described it elsewhere – with a strongly pulsating front brake and a still overflowing carburetor 2. The latter is not a bigger problem, just a fiddle, on which I am actually not so sharp, but the brake annoys. Often enough a offset of the discs to solve the problem (or just to create) but if the disc has a blow away, you have to replace it or have it straightened. Now I would like to test this. . By having to get the wheel out for the new front tire anyway, I would unscrew the windows and check them. Has anyone ever done this ? Put on a glass plate ? Put anything on it before ?

One wonders slowly what is more expensive. 1 gram of gold or one gram of kawasaki. And if those who set the spare parts prices at Kawasaki really still have all the slats on the fence. I repaired the carburettor for plutkenstein and found, among other things, that a carburettor lacked the needle nozzle, which a previous “repairer” had swept away (=lost). No problem, I thought, trifle, cost a few cents, are 1.5 grams of brass. and the Alex is a very friendly Kawasaki man, who can’t do anything for it, I stared at the number 25.82 Euro without any surprise. Inflated to the 267 kg GPZ 1100, which I have just finished and will be offering soon, I can already calculate their price: this would then be at 4.45 Million Euro. Sorry plutkenstein, I can’t help it, at least your GPZ 500 S will run again soon without reason, because your carburettors will go to the Post. Nevertheless, I am really stunned about this. At the time of Emperor Charles of the Fifth, it would have hit the person responsible. In his “Peynical Court Order” the “Straffe of the Wucherey” was the stake…

hello I drive an er6n, is my first “season” and would have a question for knee grinding. my grinder looks like this at the moment (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/9/snapshot2011072311.jpg/ ). as you see it is not evenly sanded, but the front edge is sanded off (with my left grinder this is even more visible, as I am not yet so sure on the left and not so often grind). now my question is whether I have something wrong with the hang off technique. do and what I can do so that I (as I have seen with other drivers) grind so that my knee grinder is evenly sanded off. is it because my motorcycle is not a super sportsman and therefore I automatically do not come so far down? of course I don’t care how the grinders look and I know that the question is a bit banal but I would still like to know if this is “normal”. thx, mike

Hello, I bought myself a motorcycle last Saturday. On the internet was “Kawasaki KZ 550 H/GPZ 550 UT”. Unfortunately, in the papers only the key number of Kawasaki and then only “000000000”. Now I would like to know which model this is. Can it be that it was an import from abroad? As color is also only white in the papers, although it is red (original lacquer). Frame number agrees with the one of the papers. It is throttled to 20 kW. Would also like to use the L I can’t find anything on the internet about the model “KZ 550 H”. Please help me! Thank you very much!

Hello, I’m just setting the valve play at my ZR7, here I’ve been provided with two instructions. Guide No. 1http://www.s-n.name/ZR7Forum/Ventile/Ventilspiel_002_tommi.htm Essentially, this statement is concerned: When piston number 1 is on OT, the following valves can be measured. No. 1: Inlet and outlet, No. 2: Outlet, No. 3: Inlet If piston number 4 is on OT, the following valves can be measured. No. 2: Inlet, No. 3: Outlet No. 4: Inlet and release instructions no.2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0cJ0Ca1EUo I can summarize the explanation in this video: In the OT marking 1-4, for example, cylinder 1 stands when ignition –> Valves are closed and can be tested (one + outlet cylinder 1). Cylinder 4 is then pre-priming –> Valves overlap and a measurement is not possible. A complete revolution further up to the OT marking 1-4 is cylinder 4 when ignition –> Valves are closed and can be The same is done with cylinder 2+3 Now the conflict: the first variant is quite celebrated and applied in the ZR7 forum … I remember then to have set my GPZ according to the instruction No. 2. According to instruction No. 2, the respective cams are always horizontal to the head and this is a memory that remained for me from then on. The measurements for both variants are very different, therefore my question : Is variant 2 correct and therefore variant 1 wrong? I just remembered something. At that time I had a shop at hand, because I paid 1.20€-2.20€ per Shim + mail delivery. Now I can only find shops where it starts from 6,90€ per Shim + 6€ shipping ….has jmd alternative dealer at start? I thank you for helpful answers. LG

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
