If you can smell coolant in the exhaust steam, I am afraid you may have a leaking head gasket.

make sure nothing is left on when bike is not running then check all lighting to check for a draw disconnect the neg post then place a test light between the circuits after draw is determined start tracing the different circuits

sounds like a carb overhaul time as well as a fuel system flush

First torque to 20Nm (14.5ft-lb)Then 51Nm (38ft-lb) for the 11mm bolts (outer 4) and 39Nm (29ft-lb) for the 10mm bolts (centre 6)

sounds like a fouled plug or a timing adjustment take out the plugs and look for oil on the plug. if there is oil on the plug clean with degreaser and try it out. If you consistently get oil fouls check valve seals

Camshaft cap bolts are 12 N-m for a 1994 ZZR11

Camshaft cap bolts are 12 N-m

You may check to see if the fuel valve is turned on. Usually on the left side of the tank, near the rear of it.

could be valve noise valves should be check at regular intervals a chance it may be a wearing cam chain

The best bet would be to contact you local Kawasaki dealer/importer. Most of them are more than happy to help (atleast in my country). Failing that you can;1) Contact Kawasaki Japan and get the factory records which will tie the chassis number to the engine and the year of manufacture. 2) get a copy of the original registration details which should then tie the VIN to fame and engine numbers.i hope this helps,Sid.

The usual cause of this problem is a coil breakdown- either ignition coil(plug) or timing coil(inside timing sensor) . Check your Spark plugs first though as these can breakdown at high frequency. Check the coil resistance with the values in the manual. If this doesn't give you a pointer then get back to me. Hope this helps.

Yes, especially if you have been using gas with ethanol by government mandate. (oxygenated)

If everything is on and all voltages are proper at the proper time, all that is left is the starter motor. If it is as you say, the engine must be removed to do it, you may want to talk to the service manager at your Kawasaky shop. This is not a job for the faint of heart, and it does require special skills, tools and knowledge.

I'm sure you probably got it by now if not there are two bolts on top near the handle bars then two lon the side by the battery but from the side of the bike there are holes for the socket to go through

similar to bleeding brakes, pump up the lever, then let the fluid out down at the slave cylnder at the bleed nipple.
May need to turn the bars or lean the bike so ther is no high point at the first banjo bolt on the clutch cylnder.
Its common for the slave cylnder seal to wear out, and this causes fluid loss and air back into the system

Yes!

Same tank from 1993 to 2001

Drain Carbs in to a clear container and see what is in them......should be plug or screw in bottom of carb and a small hose attached

rich ive already tryed and no joy

HI,,if you have power going to the coils,and no spark then it is your coils that need replacing.

Two suggestions: one is to take your papers to a dealer and see if they can provide a key; and the second is to call a locksmith.
