Servus, in advance, I have not found a forum section where this question fits specifically. Therefore, I would be grateful if a moderator should postpone my question accordingly. To the situation: I collected my first laps/experiences on a race track last week to be exactly on the Nürburgring GP. Overall I drove 4 turns and in the last one I had my first slide. Maybe someone would be so nice and would explain what it was about, or would have I am in danger with my ZXR 400, tyres Michelin Pilot Power 2CT, standard dimensions. Tyre pressure according to manufacturer specification. In the third corner the rear wheel came to me, felt it simply slipped away as if I had “run over” the tire from the slanting position I have already sanded with the footrests, but then pressed a little further and then fell into the corner inner side as the rear wheel has lost its adhesion. e also tell me that the motorcycle has literally slipped away towards the corner outside. My speed was estimated at around 60km/h. If I were interested, I could put in a few photos. My questions are now; were these already the limits of the tyres, or even of the motorcycle? Would you have been able to prevent this “slip” by another driving technique (Hang off)? How do I know when I am at the limits of the tyres or of the motorcycle? I did not feel any signs that I had too much slanting, etc. Next year I’m going to participate in a driver training. I’m absolutely thrilled by my ZXR. An absolute force in the curves. Greetings

Hello Kawa friends, because the light didn’t go, I changed the bulb. Since this did not create any remedy I also controlled the 4 fuses. Also no broken. What is the next step? And yes, I noticed afterwards that it is not because of the bulb, when both lights don’t go anymore

Hello dear community, I bought a Kawasaki Z800e 2 days ago, which is throttled to 48hp over the gas train and “only” 9000km on it and is 2015 year of construction. The machine runs clean and quiet, only one thing bothers me, and that would be the stationary gas. If I turn on the engine, the machine runs without turning on the gas lever already on 2000 revolutions. Here I can turn the gas lever in the opposite direction by 1cm – 1.5cm, which results in the speed again I don’t know about sorry. Now I let go of the gas lever again, it moves back to the standard position and goes back to 2000 revolutions, I can’t imagine that it’s something with the engine but rather what has to do with the lever or train, because by chance someone knows what this is about and how to fix it??? In addition, another question: The clutch lever and brake lever is from V-Trec, everything works perfectly, only the clutch lever is very hard to operate and also does not feel smooth when letting go, but jams quite easily, not that it hangs, but it does not feel fluid when returning… Many thanks to all who take the time and for every answer, am new here

Hello together, since I have been driving the Kawa very rarely for the last 3 years, I want to sell it now. Tüv expired last year. So I went to a motorcycle house to make the TÜV there. Since the last Tüv I drove about 500km. At that time, at the same workshop, new tires, new chain and new pinion were attached. Now my Kawa did not pass the TÜV. Defects is a game in the camp at the suspension of the rear wheel. Cost approx. 400€ according to the workshop. The value of the Kawa is perhaps 130€. I have now thought about changing the camp myself and took a closer look at it. So I picked up the rear wheel with a stand and searched for the game in the camp at the suspension in vain. Now I would like to get a second opinion. But where should I go? I can’t go to a free workshop, which also offers Tüv, since the same TÜV makes the control there. I think already that it is in a database I’m not allowed to go to a free workshop without a TÜV appointment, because the TÜV has expired. What should I do now? How do you control the camp exactly during the suspension? I pulled and wobbled a lot, but couldn’t find any game. Where I did the Tüv, could or didn’t want to show me, because there was too little time. It’s been funny. My guess is, that they might want to exchange something that is not necessary. In addition, a game like this should have been noticed before the last 500km, so before the last TÜV!? Can you give me a piece of advice here? Thank you in advance. MfG

Hello, I have a much bigger problem and don’t know any more. My ninja bj.96 has recently made fierce bitches. At first it was all top, at once she started to take no gas from 140 for a short time, neither turning up nor holding on to the gas, suddenly there was a push again and then she went on. However, at 120/130 it’s all over again, you can practically turn the cock in circles there nothing happens anymore.??? 1 and 2 gear everything great after work. Gasoline pump, hoses, carburettor completely cleaned, nozzles checked, new candles to do nothing, I really don’t know what else it could be..maybe know yes jmd rat. Thanks..ps…is ne zx7r bj. 96
