You have tried the shop and it fair to say that when you balance the carbs its only as good as the person who does the balancing .If you want to balance the carbs your self the you will have to purchase a balancing kit .The mercury one are the best but great care must be taken as they are very delicate and never lay them down as it causes air bubbles and they will not perform correctly .They must be kept upright at all times ..you will get instructions with them and it will show you how to adjust the air and fuel to get the best out of the bikes performance .But the carb balancing kits don't come cheep .

Hi, Thermostat yes. That is the next troubleshooting step. Good Luck!

I would go to my local Discount Auto Parts store or Pep Boys and pick up a Chiltons manual. They are less than $20.00, have very good instructions, and pictures to help you understand the steps. If they don't have one in stock for your bike, they can order it. I have used these manuals for years for both my cars and motorcycles. The instructions are step-by-step for disassembly and you just follow reverse order for re-assembly.

This would not be related to the clutch but possibly related to clutch shaft rotation. The clutch shaft should be turning when changing gears. This allows the slider gear dogs to engage, or disengage, other gears easily. Try shifting to neutral while slipping the clutch a bit instead of pulling the clutch handle all the way in.
You want 10w40 oil in the gearbox.

I hope this helps, but can't give any promises. I really hesitate to post this solution because it is really somewhat of a shot in the dark. The good thing is that the original posting stays up so that others can offer solutions also.

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.

eBay is the only place and there is only one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266382749570 Or direct from China https://power-tool-batteries.en.made-in-china.com/product/tqRnSCOglNhK/China-Kawasaki-Power-Tool-Batteries-21-6V-Replacement.html Or you can open it up and solder in the individual NiCad cells. Better to replace with NiMH.

IGNITION SYSTEM for Kawasaki GT750 1992 # KAWASAKI - Online Genuine Spare Parts Catalogue (bike-parts-kawa.com)

I'm assuming you have already checked the actual bulb is still OK? The bike uses a 'twin element' bulb so the tail light element might still work but the brake light element has blown. It's designed to be two bulbs in one so it takes up less space.On a lot of vehicles some electrical features share a fuse and only some of them are marked on the fuse box lid. Has anything else stopped working? On some Kawasaki bikes the brake light shares a fuse with the horn and the tail light so if the fuse has blown all three won't be working. Check the fuse labelled as the Horn to see if that has 'Popped'.*NOTE* ONLY replace fuses with one of the SAME Amp rating as lower 'A' fuses will blow and higher 'A' fuses won't protect your electrics.Bulbs and fuses are usually cheap to buy so you could replace them anyway before thinking it's going to be a 'Big' repair.

If your Kawasaki ZZR600 suddenly stopped firing, there are several possible reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and resolve the issue:

1. Check the battery: A weak or dead battery can prevent the engine from starting. Make sure the battery is fully charged and has a voltage of at least 12.5 volts.
2. Check the spark plugs: The spark plugs may be fouled, worn out, or damaged. Remove the spark plugs and inspect them for signs of wear or damage. If necessary, replace the spark plugs.
3. Check the ignition system: The ignition coils, ignition module, and wiring may be faulty. Use a multimeter to test the resistance of the coils and check the wiring for continuity. Replace any faulty components as needed.
4. Check the fuel system: The fuel filter may be clogged, the fuel pump may be faulty, or there may be a problem with the fuel injectors. Check the fuel pressure and flow, and inspect the fuel filter and injectors for any signs of clogging or damage.
5. Check the carburetor (if applicable): If your ZZR600 has a carburetor, it may be dirty or clogged. Remove the carburetor and clean it thoroughly with carburetor cleaner.
6. Check the camshaft timing: If the camshaft timing is off, the engine may not fire properly. Check the timing marks and adjust the camshaft if necessary.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your ZZR600 to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.

Normally you can't because the ignition is electronic and has an immobilizer. Just buy a new switch or you will have it stolen again. https://www.google.com/search?q=kawasaki+ex250+replacement+ignition+switch ..

There could be several reasons why oil is coming out of the overflow hose on your Kawasaki KDX 220R. Some possible causes include:

1. Overfilled oil tank: If the oil tank is overfilled, oil can get forced out of the overflow hose when the engine is running.
2. Worn or damaged oil seals: If the oil seals in the engine or transmission are worn or damaged, oil can leak out of the engine and into the carburetor, where it can then be forced out of the overflow hose.
3. Clogged or damaged oil cooler: If the oil cooler is clogged or damaged, it can cause excess oil to build up in the engine, which can then be forced out of the overflow hose.

It's important to identify and address the cause of the oil leak as soon as possible, as running the engine with excessive oil can cause serious damage. I recommend taking your bike to a mechanic for a thorough inspection and repair.
