The oil level should be in the upper 1/3 of the window when you are done. the bike needs to be straight upright. after you have added the new oil, run the engine for 1 minute and then shut it off. Let the oil settle ( about 2 minutes ) and then check the level. Add until the level is in the upper 1/3 of the window.

Check the cable loom that feeds the lighting sockets. You will find a break, on a sharp corner under the seat.

if your plugs are black, the bike is too rich. lean out your mixture screw a little at a time until it seems riight. hard for me to tell you exactly when it's set without me seeing or feeling it myself.

Make sure your chocke lever is going all the way off when the bike is warm. The chugging sounds like the choke may still be on, and is not needed when the bike is warm.

Fresh gas ?

Something tells me you are trying to remove the axle by turning it out?? There is no pressure on the forks. The axle is locked on by 2 set screws or bolts on the bottom of the forks. If there is a nut on the axle, it is easily spun off with an adj wrench, pull out the bottom bolts, axle comes out. That is how most bikes are set up, Unless the kawasaki came up with something different. check it out.

Flashing dashes on odometer mean that the EEPROM where the mileage is stored has been improperly tampered, has failed or miswritten.
You can fix it back by disassembling the dashboard and reprograming the 93C46 EEPROM in it. You'll need an EEPROM programer and some piece of software to calculate the encoded mileage readout, such as Tachosoft or NYO.
Hope this helps.

You have the 2 bolts off the swing arm? Got the caliper resting on the arm? pull the pin, pads out, slowly squeeze the pistons in with a C-clamp, put in the new pads, put the caliper back on, 2 bolts, all set. Hope this helps.

useing a multimeter set to d.c check your charge at the battery whith out the motor running it should read above 12 volts determine the voltage stored in the battery with the meter stil conected hit the start button if the meter shows a dramatic drop in voltage its almost certain that the battery is shot howevwer if the voltage does not drop & it wont start bump start it conect the meter still set on dc increase the revs asyou do this the voltage should climb to 13.50 if it does & maintains 13.50 to 13.65 the chargeing system can be declared ok & you only need replace the battery however if it goes above 14 volts the voltage regulator is faulty & cooking the battery so you will need to replace both

about 159mph. Top speed depends on a lot of things: rider weight, gearing, tire profile size..even when i raced i swear wearing a different style helmet coming out of turn#9 at willow springs into the wind i could feel the pressure building up and especially if you don't tuck down all the way...so if you weigh 200lbs, have a nice wheelie sprocket on the back with a real wide low profile cool looking race slick i'm sure you'll lose 10mph easy. so taking the avg. probably about 154mph. and then don't forget about speedo error of usually 3% at the high end, so this all works out to @ 150mph true speed. Not bad for a 12 year old bike!
