G'day.
I guess your wondering what is going on- no loss of coolant but it's moving from the radiator to the catch tank.You put it back in the radiator & back it goes to the catch tank again- seems like somthings wrong but the answer is simple really.
As your bike warms up,the cooant in the radiator expands with the heat & moves excess to the catch tank.
Then the water contracts when the bike cools down & some of the coolant is now in the catch tank & the radiator a bit low.
So what to do.
Run it & this time don't put the excess back in the radiator.
Set the catch tank to max & then just moniter whats going on from there.
It's normal for the radiator to be down just that bit when cold to allow for the water expansion when it gets hot.
If the radiator gets too low ,coolant will be drawn out of the catch tank to fill it up.
This is called a coolant recovery system & is commonly fitted to liquid cooled bikes.
The part to check is the radiator cap.
You will see two rubber parts on the under side of the cap.
One black rubber on a spring & the other seal just under the lip of the cap.Check that these are not damaged.
If either is split replace the radiator cap.
I hope this has been of some help.
Kind regards Andrew Porrelli

Spark plug gap is 0.6 to 0.7mm on your model

Get the starter and battery connection checked.Also check if the battery voltage is correct and battery is fully charged up to 12 volts.If the battery is not properly charged, it can be low battery issue.Also if battery is loosing charge again n again, then it can be problem with voltage regulator.The voltage regulator is not charging the battery.Check power to the starter with ignition turned on, if there is no power to starter, that means the battery to starter connection is loose or faulty.Or the starter it self is faulty.--------if it doesnt crank/start check the battery, battery cables etc, if it cranks but does not start. Verify that you have spark, and fuel.-------
This should help.thanks.Helpmech.

Start at the battery, then make sure he wires and cables are all good, try to bump start the bike to make sure the motor is not siezed,

Make sure your battery has a full charge and if that doesnt help then follow wires look for wroghted out or looses and disconnected wires from your ignition to your starter to even the plug wires also make sure the bies in neutral and the clutch is fully in!

Spin the engine and recheck, the coils should receive voltage alternately

Standard is 1 & 1/2 turns out- Using a infra red Gas analyser, I found they would run the best between 2 & 2 & 1/2 turns out.try to search for the setting with the smoothest idle. So yes- you seem to have it set correctly.

This may differ from model to model, as a rough guide with standard jetting, 2.5 to 3 turns out, screw the air corrector screw home (in) all the way until it stops using no force, as soon as you feel it is home stop, then unscrew the screw 5 half turns which equates to 2.5 full turns as a base setting, any furter addjustments should be done in half turn increments in or out untill the bike runs at its best

yes it is

My research shows that the damper also fits ZX10R (2004-2005). I would use caution when crossing bike parts. The part numbers are the same with a suffix letter different. This indicates a variation in the part. So although it may bolt up and perform the same, there is some difference.
Ride Safe.

unfortunatey you may not be able to fix this, speedos generally run from a sensor or cable at the front axle, and rely on the rotating wheel, and are not generally able to be calibrated.
An instrument tech amy be able to do something if your model?? has an electronic speedo, but the reading can change with different tyre sizes, and even slightly as the tyre wears

check the air jet adjustment, still not remove the carburetor and clean it well and replace new jets and dont forget also the throtle

I think what you want is an exploded view of the clutch assembly. You can go to the site below and see the clutch and every other part of your bike. Please rate my answer. Thanks! www.babbittsonline.com

there is only 1 vin on the bike, if your planning on registering it your gonna need it. The only other way would be to locate the frame number and have a kawi dealer cross reference for a vin, but being 6 years old, might not be able to. cant the owner just get it off his registration for you ? aslo, becarefull of receiving stolen property, sounds like an issue to me.

sounds like carb issue,if your plugs are good and valve clearances correct.
