sound to me like the timing chain is in need of a tightening id get it in for a service if you havent already had one 6000mles it will be due anyway

If you don't have compression, but do have fire, and you cannot prime and start, sounds like you've jumped time. That would explain your compression issue. Get a compression guage and confirm this diagnosis. If you don't have compression, you will have to tear into the engine to correct the timing issue. Good Luck! I hope this is very helpful!

the haynes covers this model i think and you can download the service manuals - too much juice goes through the switch to just "jump" it without risk, use a meter without the battery connected and see if the switch connetcs/disconnects at the switches connectors inside the bar grip..

It sounds as if the choke is stuck in the open position, this will do exactly as you describe check in the thottle area behind the air cleaner, you will see a butterfly that moves back and forth when you move the choke lever, make sure this is opening and closing all the way>>>.
Good Luck,

FI means Fuel Injection. The computer chip that controls the fuel injection system on your bike has detected a problem. It could be major or minor. You will need to take the bike to a dealer and have them read the codes to find out exactly what the problems are.

It should be bolted to the bolted to the inside of the left crankshaft/engine cover.

posibly a problem with the stator

It is is firing out of the carb and the exhaust, the timing must be off, but also slipping. Is the flywheel tight? https://www.google.com/search?q=1984+kawasaki+klt+250+backfiring+problem ..

Absolutely, the rectifier on your Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 can be repositioned during a customization project. The rectifier is a crucial part of the motorcycle's electrical system, converting alternating current (AC) from the stator into direct current (DC) to charge the battery and power the bike's electrical components. While relocating the rectifier, it's important to consider a few key factors:

1. Space and Mounting: Assess the available space on the motorcycle to find a suitable location for the rectifier. Ensure that the new position allows for proper mounting and secure attachment without interfering with other components or the bike's functionality.
2. Heat Dissipation: The rectifier generates heat during operation, so it's essential to relocate it to an area with adequate airflow for cooling. Mounting it in a well-ventilated area helps prevent overheating issues.
3. Wiring and Connections: When moving the rectifier, ensure that the wiring can be appropriately rerouted to reach its new location. Take care to maintain proper electrical connections and ensure a secure, stable wiring setup.
4. Protection: Consider adding protective measures, such as shields or guards, to safeguard the relocated rectifier from road debris, water, or other potential hazards.

Modifying the placement of the rectifier may require custom brackets, mounts, or fabrication work to secure it in the desired location. It's crucial to execute the relocation carefully, maintaining proper electrical connections and ensuring the rectifier's safety and functionality. If you're not confident in performing these modifications yourself, consulting a professional motorcycle mechanic or technician with experience in customizations can be highly beneficial. They can offer guidance, expertise, and ensure that the modifications are carried out safely and effectively.
