chain needs adjusting or new chain needed, shouldnt be that sloppy, and change both fork seals toghther, its a false economy to change just one, if you do the other will go within a month and cost you double to have the forks removed twice. these are fast bikes and need good maintenace, you would do 180mph with a dodgy fork seals and dodgy chain.

Thats very high. The voltage should be around 13 or 14.5 volts. Sounds like the voltage regulator you put on was bad too.

Tap on the starter gently with a plastic hammer while holding the starter button. If the starter works now you need starter brushes. The brushes are about the only replacement part available on Japanese motorcycle starters. Unbolt the power cable to the starter, take off the two bolts holding the starter to the case, and pull the starter out of the motor. Now you can take off the end cap to inspect the brushes. Installation is reverse order. bench test the starter before reinstalling. If the spline of the starter does not mesh with the spline hole of the gear in the motor, rotate the starter enough so the splines line up or power the motor to move the position of the spline and try again. If you have an Ohm meter you can easily test the armature. You should have continuity between every other contact. But no continuity between adjacent contacts. If there is anything other than brushes wrong with the starter you will have to replace the assembly.

if theres no spars check the fallowing

1. check connection between coil and plug
2. check to see if coil is working properly
3. replace coil if needed

Good Luck.

Hello,
The clutch cover is removed in a two step process.

• Remove the clutch cable by loosening the adjustment at top and bottom first. Then remove the cable end from the clutch lever. This should give enough slack to remove the cable at the bottom by the clutch cover. ** Take notice of the angle of the lever that the cable goes into the cover. You will want to re-assemble the clutch cover with that lever in the same angle.
• Remove the clutch cover bolts around the outside of the cover.the cover should now be removed by pulling the cover straight out.

Thanks and I hope that this helps.

You dont say which year/model. Generally 13mm +or- 2mm except for ZX9R-E which is 4mm +or- 2mm(CVRD carbs)

you will find that the drive cable is more than likely about to break if the front wheel has been out recently you might also want to check that the tabs on the driv are correctly located into the wheel you dont say what year mod it is or if it is an elecronic tacho if this is the case chech the pick ups on the wheel

You cant adjust the air flow to the carbs.

try chaining fork oil.
check your forks for play.
check your pads for uneven wear.
also make sure the stearing head bearings are ok.
hope somethig helps.
could also be caused by the unevenly worn front tyre.

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 ..

Not mentioned anywhere https://www.google.com/search?q=kawasaki+eliminator+%22EL+175%22+carburetor+size Lots of information for the bigger ones, 'Eliminator' is a whole range of models 125cc to 900cc https://www.google.com/search?q=kawasaki+eliminator+%22EL+175%22+carburetor+replacement ..

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.
