  1. How-Tos and FAQs
    I recently bought a 2003 kawasaki zzr-600 knowingly that didn’t work in second gear. Whenever you try to shift into second the bike makes a rattling/grinding sound and goes nowhere as if it was in neutral. I am fairly mechanically inclined and also got a really good price so I figured it would...
  2. Ninja 250R
    Bought the bike a few weeks ago, everything was fine, & I do not believe this problem was due to the previous owners (they were very knowledgeable & have rode for a while). Bike was in mint condition. A few days after buying it, it rained. Bike would not start after I went outside to ride it. I...
  3. Moto
    Hi I just changed my oil for the first time including the oil filter originally the spring was inside the oil filter and I thought that was weird so I looked at the owners manual and switched it to the black grommet on the oil filter pointing towards the engine and the spring against the cap as...
  4. All Others (including customs)
    Recently bought a 99 zrx and the bike seemed to ride great at first, smooth power delivery, shifts great, lots of torque, etc. Then when I started to get more comfortable with the bike I started going faster and around 90-110mph mark the front end starts to get squirrely and I have to ease up...
  5. Ninja 650R, ER6
    Hi everyone, I was just given a 2015 Ninja 650 w/ 800 miles on it. It has been sitting in storage for 3 years with a quarter tank of gas in it currently does not run. I changed out the spark plugs and could get it to fire with some starter fluid for a second or two. Thought the fuel injectors...
  6. Ninja 650R, ER6
    Hi All, I just wanted a second opinion on this from someone with a bit more experience. My 2006 ER6 runs OK but it sounds rough and burns oil (fairly randomly!). The engine seems to run very hot, and the oil turns very dark/thick almost immediately after an oil change (i've changed the...

    Hi all, New rider – took the bike (2023 Z400) out for a spin today to practice some low speed manoeuvres. Took one turn too slow and the bike dropped. No big deal, knew it was bound to happen once or twice. Turned it off, picked it up, tried to restart and the engine kept turning over but...
  8. Oil and Lubrication
    Could this be coolant? For the first time my bike got up to 240f and it started flashing so I turned it off.. this only leaks whilst riding, I needed to get home so I had no choice but to ride it home. Whilst doing 80mph it stayed at 180f. Also just had a fresh oil change any suggestions...
  9. Ninja 650R, ER6
    Hi all - first time posting here, reaching out for some sage advice. I know this is a massively open ended question, but does anyone have any insight into this noise come from my 2019 650? Sounds like it's entirely from the top end, and I'm on the fence as to whether I should just dig in to it...
  10. Ninja 250R
    Hi all, I have a 2008 Ninja 250R with a weird problem. To describe the situation: I turn on the bike with no issues but it slowly starts dying after a couple of seconds. I try to rev it and sure enough it powers off instantly. After this the motorcycle refuses to turn on. After a couple of...
  11. KLR & KLX
    So here's the dilemma. I've had this KLX140R L for let's say a year (ish). Never had a problem, runs great, idles great, does everything great. Until recently when I start her it SOMETIMES makes a knock sound. It does this every now and then. It doesn't quite do it cold for some reason or maybe...

    Hey all, I just picked up my new Z650 a couple days ago and the dealership told me to bring it back after 500 mile for my first service. That did seem off till they said it would cost 450 bucks!!? I looked at the manual and correct me if im wrong, but an oil change and an inspection hardly cost...
  13. Ninja 650R, ER6
    Hi, So while driving my 2017 Ninja 650 in a bit of wet weather my check engine light came on and the gear indicator is now just a flashing a line. I can still go through all gears and get it in neutral when stationary or coasting and the bike rides absolutely fine. When in neutral the gear...
  14. ZX-6R All Model Years
    I have a 1995 ninja zx600c/600r and I'm having a hard time finding a gas tank for it. I was wondering if any other tanks could fit.
  15. Z750, Z800, Z1000
    I picked up the bike back in December. Didn’t get to ride it much up until now. I get on it and when I hit 8k rpm the bike goes into a limp mode and the check engine light comes on. Not sure what would cause this. Thanks for any suggestions!
  16. Ninja 250R
    Went to go ride by 2009 ninja 250R, and going low speeds it quickly got hot and the overheat light on the dash came on. The fan didn’t see to come on at all. What are ways to fix the problem, without having huge expenses. Please and thank you to all that help. Love the Kawasaki Community!
  17. 2007-2008 ZX-6R
    I notice my bike is producing a lot of vibration.. more than usual. When the clutch is engaged, the vibrations of the bike seem normal. When the clutch is released and in gear I can feel a tapping/vibrating. When I pull the clutch in slightly, but not to the point of engagement, it lessens the...

    How do I make my 05 zx 750 ignition work on my 07 zx 600 ?
  19. Ninja 250R
    Hi everyone. First post so hoping this is in the right spot. I have a 2004 Kawasaki ZZR250 that I ran into an odd problem with. When the bike tilts to the right at a certain angle, it shuts the bike off or if the bike is not running I lose the cluster lights except for the oil light (so the...
  20. Classics and Standards
    Hope someone can help. So, I have this '78 KZ750B3, owned it for almost 10 years. Found it as a pile of junk, stripped it down to the frame, rebuilt it, including a top end rebuild, aftermarket electronic ignition, VM34 carbs, stock pipes. Valve clearances in spec. By all accounts been a great...
