Kawasaki Mean Streak

I have a 2003 Kawasaki Mean Streak that I bought from a private seller about a month ago. It has been running well until today. I started it, let it warm up, and when I put it gear and released the clutch the engine cut off. Yes I had the throttle was engaged. I tried multiple times with no success. Any ideas? Thank you!

My 2007 Kawasaki Mean Streak cutoff while I was riding it. Oil light came on, now it won't start. I added oil and even replaced the battery, but it acts as if it doesn't have enough power to start. ...

Not getting enough power. Did new battery get charged? Check for bad ground or other faulty electrical connection. Briefly try to jump start.? Make sure wire didnt get hot and touch frame causing short. Good luck. Oil light comes on after shutdown . If on while running, you could have locked it up.

My Kawasaki VN 1600 Classic (2003) has a distinct metallic rattling sound at around 1500-2000 rpm's. I have been to three mechanics but they all say it unavoidable with a large V2. BUT it wasnt...

Hey C..
Are any of these three mechanics Factory Trained Kawasaki mechanic's...???
This may be a situation that results from normal wear on that particular engine that produces the noise. (..ie... getting louder every year..it very well maybe "normal"..)..You can try going to a heavier grade oil, sometimes a 15w-40 will quieten it down...good luck..
