  1. Mean Streak Maintenance
    My marauder has been going though a lot of oil on long trips. Oil was very low in Maine, couldn’t see in sight glass, so I added adequate oil. It was super low again by the time I hit Connecticut. It has 35k on it. I’ve had it for three years now and it definitely has less get up and go then...
  2. Ninja 650R Maintenance
    Just recently I had to manufacture me a fuel line nipple connector that comes out of the bottom of fuel pump. Chain came off, bike went over, gas tank came loose and fuel line connector was shattered. Fixed it without replacing fuel pump(nothing wrong with fuel pump). Rode to town one evening...
  3. Ninja 650R Maintenance
    Hi all, Sorry to bring up such a boring subject, but my first oil change on the 2015 Ninja 650 I bought this year is coming up and I wanted to get people's opinions. My owner's manual says to change every 7,500 miles, but it doesn't specify whether that number is for conventional or synthetic...
  4. Ninja 650R Maintenance
    So im reaching up right around 4k miles on a 2016 650. Plan to change the oil Using Valvoline 10w40 Full synthetic and K&N Filter (#303, I believe thats the right one) Then to clean and lube the chain. Sadly I was not able to see if the previous owner had a owners/service manual for the bike. Is...
  5. Ninja 650R Maintenance
    Hey everyone, Hopefully one of you will be able to help me. I have a 2015 Ninja 650r. I rode over a section of the road that had been broken up to repair and was very bumpy. As I hit the bumps, my handlebars shifted, but not in a left to right or forward to back kind of way. Imagine when you...
  6. The Training Ground - New Riders!
    New rider here! I picked up a 2006 650r with 16,000mi from my buddy. I love the bike and have done about 75 miles on it so far. Its been sitting in his garage for 1.5 years and needs new brake pads and fluid change. Anything else that I should be inspecting, replacing, keeping a close eye...
  7. Ninja 650R Maintenance
    Hey guys, last year i bought a 650r Ninja with about 18,000 miles on it. Got a great deal on it, two brothers racing exhaust and partial carbon fiber ferring. The long story short, i rode the bike and put 3k on it and it was very very reliable. I was pretty impressed. I put the bike in storage...

  9. Z1K/Z750 Maintenance
    Hi Guys, Just bought brand new Kawi Z750R as my first Jap bike (haven't ridden bike for ~12 years since I past my bike license in 2002 so you can imagine- lack of experience and etc.) As you would expect - I was superb excited so changed my clothes and jumped for a ride instead reading user...
  10. Ninja 650R Maintenance
    I bought my '07 650r back in 09 haven't replaced the chain or any sprockets since had to tighten the chain the other day and was left with a clicking noise in the front sprocket... I think I'm going to replace the whole chain and both sprockets - is that a sign of it being too worn out? -...

  12. Ninja 650R Maintenance
    I need new tires - I'm thinking of pulling the wheels myself. I had a phone conversation with the service guy at the local Kawasaki shop and he suggested I think twice about it. He offered two reasons: 1) It would take me much longer to do it and I'd have to buy the tools 2) Safety I've...

    I just bought a 2000 ZR-7 with 26000 miles on it. I'm new to riding and want to make sure that I'm doing everything I can to keep the bike in good safe riding condition. Any advice on maintenance and things I should be checking? Any and all help will be much appreciated.
  14. Z1K/Z750 Maintenance
    Hi guys, I have the z750 abs m7f (2007) model. I have had the bike since January 2012 and have had it restricted to 33bhp by the local kawasaki dealers to comply with all the age business as im only 20 and haven been passed long. Basicly upon general maintenance and cleaning of the bike, I have...
  15. The Training Ground - New Riders!
    Been riding my Ninja and noticed that the chain has been a lot louder than it has been the week I've owned it. I adjusted the chain to the exact measurements that the manual advises (It says anywhere from 1.6' to 2.6' or something like that), and to the right markings. But the chain still...
