hi this may help,check the voltage of the battery first,should be at least 13.2 v static,and on a completly different approach,check that the sidestand and clutch lockout switches are functioning properly,particularly the sidestand one,they are prone to failure and when they do they wont let start current through to the starter relay..hope this helps..cheers

sound like you need to remove and clean the carbs. the main jet partly pluged and the slides could be skicking.

Not as far as I know. the starter circuit is controlled by 3 relays in the fuse box. these are operated by neutral switch, clutch switch and kill switch.

You cannot just wire up a turn signal to operate on the tail/brake lights without using a device called an integrator. Otherwise it is not possible to separate the functions.
If you look on EBay or seach the internet under 'turn signal integrator' you should be able to find these devices.
The kit should ocme with specific wiring intructions.

you need to change the rear also the chain teeth are for a 15 tooth so get ready to change your chain also

Hi!

Well, first of all, YES it will start without any oil at all, but in a few minits it will be damaged badly inside the engine. The oils has nothing to do if it starts or not.
Now to that crack youve got under the bike, well its damn expenisve to buy a new casing, BUT you dont need to buy one:) the crack can be WELD:) thats something you cant do yourself. Take the bike to someone good at welding and he will fix it for you in notime:) and its cheap to do it. DO NOT drive the bike before you fill it up with new oil, dont even start it up again without any oil in it, that can be very expensive to do that if you are unlucky.

Good luck

Jack the front tire up about 12 inches. Unbolt the brake calipers. Take the axle nut off. Loosen the allen bolts on the bottom of the forks. use a small punch and tap on the center of the axle to knock it out. While tapping it out, you will need to hold the wheel up to keep pressure off the axle

Hi!

That clicking noise comes from the start-relay, that tells your battery is out of power or almost out of power, when the battery isent giving enough of power the start-relay clicks. Recharge the battery,
Now for that other thing, that your bike dies around 4-5 rpm, that can be caused by many things but i think that you will find the solution in the carbs. You told us that the bike has been standing outside for 3 years, that tells me that you carbs is in need of cleaning. Inside the carbs is a lot of smal parts that opens and closes when you hit the gas, after so long time outside some part dosent work as they should, therefore when you hit the 4-5rpm the bike dosent get the right mix of fuel and air since the carbs harsh and the bike dies.
Take the bike to a repaire shop and let them clean and calibrate the carbs and your problem will be solved.

Good luck

Hi,
It is best to always change the filter every time you change the oil. By changing the filter, you remove the impurities that the filter has collected.
Hope this helps

YOU NEED TO TRICKLE CHARGE THAT BATTERY TILL FULLY CHARGED AT A RATE OF 1 TO 2 AMPERS IF THE BATTERY WONT HOLD THE CHARGE YOU WILL NEED A NEW BATTERY THE NEW BATTERY WILL NEED TRICKLE CHARGING AT THE SAME AMPER RATING FOR AT LEAST 16 HOURS THE REASON WHY YOUR LIGHT WHENT OUT IS NOT ENOUGH POWER TO SUPPORT EVERY THING FROM THE BATTERY

You have a 2001 ninja zx-9 your bike wont start...I dont know from here if it is ,or is not cranking. If you can get it to crank do you have spark? What did it do last time it ran ....did it die slowly or just ran and next time didnt. If you have spsrk is it blue or yellow spark...

i almost positive it is your rectifier which is mounted underneath your rear cowl on your subframe. it looks like a cdi but metal and has heat sinks on the top of it.i think there around 30 or $40.

that is where the vacuum line goes

Hi,what I used to do in the past is swich of the petrol undo all the screws on the bolls of the carbs and get a low pressure air line and put it on the line that the petrol gose into the carbs and just give it a few kwick blasts,I had a bike that I was always running out of petrol due to gage not working,always worked for me,(just to say that if you asked a bike macanic he would proberly not advice it)the only other option is to take the carbs off the bike and clean them,all the best

If your bike is a four stroke, the problem is either carbs out of balance or, more likely, the valves need to be re-seated. You didn't say what year, model, or engine size in your posting.
