Hi,

Depending on the version/region of intended use, Kawasakis have a 4 pin headlight relay. In some versions, this would be located on or near the battery enclosure. additionally, again on some versions, there would be smaller relays and a diode matrix underneath the fuse bank.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

online says 17mm of the feeler gauge for intake and exhaust valves,but are you asking because your timing belt broke ,because if it did i will check for you to see if this is an interferance engine or not,do you want me to check for you ?

The bike uses lots of power when starting so the lights go off so the starter has all the power it needs. They should be on when the bike is running

You're looking for part number 27002A. In this picture it is found very close to the horn. That does not mean is is close to the horn on your bike, but I would check there first if it is easy to get to. Usually there is an electrical box. The fuse box may contain the relay. Your dealer should be able to tell you exactly where it is, as would any shop manual for your bike.

I think you have an earth return fault as the light should not go brighter one side and dimmer the other.
I would check the wiring.

Hi, above the left footpeg in the frame is for the idle,,,the mixture adjustment screws are on the carbs.

If it's like my 2003 ZX9, to take the riders seat off you open the rear compartment by removing the passenger seat, the front bracket that hold the the seat has two 8mm bolts and a screw. Unscrew the screw and remove the bolts and slide or remove the bracket and then the riders seat lifts up.

sounds like you got clutch slip....maybe you need new clutch plates

you need to raise front wheel from ground with hoist or stand
remove brake calliper bolts and then twist callipers on disc to push pads back so that you can remove callipers.
loosen pinch bolts on one fork leg then undo axle nut ( large allan bolt) loosen other pinch bolts on other leg and remove axle and spacers/speedo drive and the wheel. take note where spacers go and also make sure to line up speedo drive tangs correctly when refitting wheel in reverse order to taking apart.

My guess is you you got a fine burned engine!
You need to unscrew your spark plugs, one by one, ( not all at the same time) and screw the pressure gauge, to see how much pressure you get, when you kick start the engine. The most probable failure, is your piston sealing rings. Meaning the engine needs to be opened, and the rings to be changed.
If you can't do it yourself, you might as well take it to a good mechanic.
To say more, need more info

Chech the rock cover seal

Open Fluid Reservoir, And open the bleed nipple on side of disk callipers, Then Pump until Reservoir is kinda empty, Then Refill with new fluid and then Keep pumping till Fluid starts to come out of the bleed nipple then Close and Pump few times open slightly to get air out Then Seal the bleed screw + Reservoir then all done.

you can put some thicker oil in it, or some oil additive,, however this is not recomended, the valves need to be adjusted. They are shims adjustment, and best done by a mechanic.

You are a new bike rider ... first thing ... don't get mad - don't exceed the speed limit ... I don't care what color your new machine is or how cool you think the girls will think you are while scaring the daylights out of old people and dogs. It is not cool. (insert boys if appropriate)

Due to the nature of this site - I have not seen your other question ... so I cannot comment.

To your questions, there should be a dip stick on the right hand side of the bike. Check it ... don't over fill it. When empty, it will take probably around 2 quarts. Do not depend on using all 5 gallons of your gas before you refill ... best advice I can give you is fill every 100 miles until you get a feel for your mileage. There should be a trip meter on your bike - set it when you fill up with gas. You know about the 'reserve tank'? Never turn the valve to reserve unless you are out of gas. Otherwise, you WILL be out of gas. Pushing a cool motorcycle is not cool.

If you have a tach, there should be a red line on it ... NEVER EXCEED IT ...

Please find a Motorcycle Safety Foundation BRC and enroll in the course. Not only will you get lots of good information, your insurance company will probably give you a discount for having completed it. (Basic Rider Course). You may want to join the Kawasaki Riders Club and you might want to join the American Motorcyclist Association.

hi its is a quite involved process,if you have never done them, with many ways to cause some damage to the forks, I recommend pull the forks off and take to a bike shop, but if you want to try you will need a manual as the instructions take many pages
