I recently purchased a 2007 650r, i've only rode it a couple times since. Yesterday I took it to work and noticed some heavy slack in the chain, and since it needed tires anyways I took it to the motorcycle dealership in my town. Long story short the I heard the guy telling the front desk lady...

Sorry if this is a newbie question but I just got my first motorcycle (2022 ninja 650) and I was just tightening my chain for the first time and I was curious if you’re suppose to hold one side of the axle nut and tighten the other to specified torque and be done with it. Or do you tighten one...

This is how I adjusted the preload while on the bike. Several people have mentioned removing the shock to adjust it because the adjuster is at the top of the spring. Take the left side triangle cover off. The remove the 2 bolts for the plastic mount foe the starter relay. That allows you to...

Hi all, I have a 2016 Ninja 650 and took my left fairings and stator cover off to replace them. After putting the new ones on and refilling my oil I’m encountering two issues: 1. My bike won’t start at all. When I hit the ignition a single clicking noise happens and then some weird noises...

Hi guys I am new to riding motorcycles and know damn near nothing about them, but I recently bought a 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 650 and trying to do some stuff to it to make it faster Top Speed wise. I was told sprocket and chain changing along with re-gearing it and a Dyno tune would be a good start...

Hello all! I recently bought this salvaged 2009 Ninja 650R from a private seller. After fixing multiple issues, I got the bike mostly back together and am close to being able to attempt starting. I noticed when I turn the bike on, the subthrottle cams just jitter in the closed position. Is this...

So I’m new here, I just picked up a 2020 Ninja 650 and rode it home from the dealer and hit the store with the wife and kids and with the dealership closed and reading the owners manual I’m still left scratching my head. This is my first 0 mile bike and I know about the break in period for the...

Hey guys just got on here was wondering if anybody knows the approx. Cost to replace the engine stator cover? Its a 2015 ninja 650.

From a completely cold start, the bike will do a high idle of around 2k RPM, which seems normal to me. And will then after a few miles/once warm drop down to about 1300 RPM, where it's supposed to be, with just slight flickers in the RPMs and needle. But, where it really bothers me is when the...

I have a 2019 Ninja 650 that is completely stock with 2K miles and I have been having issues with it backfiring through the air box. It seems to happen more frequently when I downshift and engine brake and then slowly get on the gas. It then "pops" through the air box and hesitates. This has...

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...

Does anyone happen to have a PDF of the 2015 Ninja 650 ABS service manual? I can't seem to find the exact year manual for my bike elsewhere.

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...

Hi All, This is my first post here. I bought a new 2016 Ninja 650 four months ago as my first bike and it has been a blast! Best decisions I've ever made to get into motorcycling. Very satisfying! The one issue that's been plaguing me is the rattle I hear at 4K and 8K RPM. No matter...

Hi everyone, I have a 2016 Kawasaki Ninja 650 and I really want to upgrade the stock horn to something else. I have been looking at the Denali SoundBOMB 120dB Horn. I am new to motorcycle so I am uncertain if this part will fit on the bike. Looking at the fairing, I do not think it will fit on...

I've got a 2006 Ninja650, for as long as I've owned the bike when I've put down the kickstand the engine would shut off (assuming the bike wasn't in neutral). A couple of days ago this just stopped being the case. Now when I engage the kickstand I also have to hit the kill engine switch for the...

I recently purchased my 650r off of craigslist. The bike ran great for a few weeks with myself toying around on it. The gas cap does not open on the bike as it is "frozen," and when the bike is completely off it makes a hissing noise. After a few days of making this noise I attempted to start...
