drain all fluids first..then chain .then remove gas tank then rent a engine hoist and wrap chain around frame main structure near front of bike take off exhaust pipes and then get a car hydraulic jack stand and a small rectangular piece of wood and slip it underneath the engine to relieve pressure on the main engine mounts, pull out bolts, raise engine hoist a little then drop the car jack oh i forgot remove all your throttle, clutch cable first and fuel main line.

Your problem is 90% located at the clutch disks. You want to open the cap and check their condition.

your rest is damage and you made a full thight

Im not positive about motorcycles. However with cars you can take the vin number to any dealer and they can look up and make a key. Im sure bikes are the same.

Just trying to help.

factory plug is a NGK CR9E, for a performance plug use the NGK CR9EIX

either the battery is not good or the battery terminals are bad.
the ignition lights should come on , if they do when the charger is connected.
I assume you are connecting the charger or jump cables to the battery terminals

Be careful jumping of a bigger battery it can spike the regulator when the engine starts and tries to produce 50-60 amps

yes. it has shims, and they need to be checked and adjusted about every 15,000KM

short in system ??ya think?? yes i know

at those revs the valves are probably starting to float, something to look into,i may be wrong

no it would be so expensive you would be better off just trading up to fuel injection on the later model, we are talking $1000's just for the parts

Clean your tank and rinse the petrol pump, check if petrol pump is running when switching ignition on. You answered your own question. The fuel is not reaching the carb from the tank

I think you could have an intermitant open circuit inside your battery. One of the links joining the cells is loose and makes contact sometimes and not other times. Replacing the battery could fix the problem. There appears to be notthing amiss in your charging system.

Hello. Just go to the local auto parts store and tell them which bike you have. They will cross reference your bike to the brands of spark plugs they carry to insure that they sell you the correct ones. Joe

Dosent sound good check the oil pressure.

Its a simple nut & bolt job .Not having owned one I assume its the same as most super bikes .There will be a pinch bolt or two on eack leg .these grip the main axel bolt which is normally screwed in one leg .There will be spacers ( Take care as some times these spacers are diffrent sizes ,so remember there position ) .You need to remove the brake cylinder .But you may find that the brake cylinder unit will not clear the brake disc because the inner wheel rim is stopping it .you have to release the fluid in the piston chamber and push the brake piston / pads back to get enough clearance to clear the disc .and if there is no centre stand you will need a bike lift unit to raise the whole bike off the ground to get the front wheel out.If in doubt seek advice from your main Kwaka agent ..

The gearbox does not need to be relpaced. The bike has a bent shift fork. The engine comes out then gets a complete tear down to get to the bad fork. This will probably cost $1200 or so. Call a dealer and get an estimate. Please rate my answer. Thanks.
