To set up your suspension correctly you need only adjust the front and back suspension to drop at the same time when you bounce on the seat ( fully loaded if touring or two up). Set the back hard or soft, your preference. Then adjust the fork pressure to the match the back. (or adjust the back to match the front if you do not have air forks) So when all the weight of the bike goes into a corner the front and back drop together. This will help prevent the front or back washing out first on a corner.

You did not specify if battery was replaced. A poor battery may cause all kinds of electrical and drivability problems.

If you only have two wires, one for right and one for left, it means that those are Positive electrical wires and the Negative is to be grounded. Connect the negative wire of the indicators you bought to the ground and connect positive of the right one to the right and left one to the left. Have a look at it and let me know if I'm missing something here or you need more advice. Best

R u talking about brake or clutch lever. Clutch lever controls ur clutch engagement/disengagement and normally are hard wired. Front brake lever on the other hand (RH above your gas grip) uses fluid to work. When you change the master cyl did you do a complete air bleed before tightening your bleder nut? Also check the tightnes of all connections, sounds as if you have an air leak somewhere in the connections.

Timing may be retarded. Possible blown head gasket or bad valve.

Hi there,

Well the cost of repair is approximately $350, the head gaskets are very cheap but the installation cost is hire. it's very hard to replace the head gasket yourself, because it's a very handy job and need another man to help you while you are removing the head. Please post comments if you need more help.

Good Luck!!

Thanks

Get the power for you heated grips directly from the ignition switch. Use a test light to determine which wire to use. You're looking for a "switched" wire, one that goes on and off with the switch.

needs some gasoline and matches

Check the rear swinging arm bushes or bearings.

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.

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.
