The easiest way to find an oil leak is to start with a clean engine. Clean the engine with a good degreaser (I've found the citrus based cleaners to be very good) while engine is warm (not hot) and let the degreaser sit on engine for a few minutes (follow instructions on bottle). Rinse off engine with high pressure water and let dry. Watch engine while a helper starts bike. The oil leak should be evident. The most likely culprits are a loose oil filter, oil pressure switch or an oil line, so pay particular attention to these.
SOURCE: 1994 Kawasaki ZZR-400 Leaks oil and doesnt start sometimes.
that box is called the air box, its where you engine breathes in its air. you say its leaking oil? these boxes are normally a bit oily but only really surface oil. If you can actually see liquid oil you have a problem with your petrol shut off. When the bike isnt running petrol will leak into the engine through the piston. When you start the bike all the petrol mixed with the engine oil will be pumped back into the air box. also check the level of the engine oil, if too much has been put in there then that can also be pumped back into the air box. If the petrol and oil has been mixing you must change the oil as petrol thins the oil and your bike could catch fire, the engine wear will be really bad.

It has standard threading. Turn counter clockwise to loosen.

Mistake #1, never try to jump start a motor bike, you may have blown the on board PC unit, best bet is to take it to good Kawka mechanic and let them fix it, bikes these days are fairly complicated..
SOURCE: need the tork setting fro a kawasaki 2008 ZZR 600
Torque settings are as follows, at least these are what I used on my '93 UK E1.
Cover bolts 12Nm, Cover damper bolts 5.9Nm, spring bolts 8.8Nm, Hub nut 130Nm.

you "usually" can always go up at least one size and not have a problem, but just take a look at the swing arm/chain areas, and give it a good look and even do a little measuring just to insure you have the clearance. If you have an aerodynamically shaped rear fender that hugs the shape of the tire, you"ll have to take that into account also. I went to a motorcycle show and asked your question to the sales lady and you could tell that it made her uncomfortable, but she seemed to say that going up only one size shouldn't cause too much problems, well i went up two sizes on my cbrf1 inadvertently and i loved it...it took all the Squirreliness out of my highway ride, but it did affect the handling in the mountains when pitching it into the curves; it takes a little more effort now. The previous owner had already gone up one size and i didnt know it!! and i said to myself, oh, i guess i can go up one size from this tiny 140/80 to a 150/70...so you have to know what the stock design limit is for your bike before making these changes. Also always try to stick to your stock profiles, i purchased some performance race rubber from the track with a smaller profile and lost what seemed to me about 10 mph in top speed just due to changing from 80 to a 70 profile.
I will give you some advice that was never given to me and it might even save your life some day. Whenever someone changes your tires for you, dont assume that they will put in the correct air pressure, i found out the hardway and ruined a brandnew tire. i was scrubbing it in on the perimeter of the track because everyone knows you never ride fast with new tires, you have to wear them in and it didnt quite feel right, but i thought this must be what a softer rubber feels like and i got back into the pits and was looking at the tire and it had a tint of blue in the rubber (it had boiled) and i said that wasn't there before, so i borrowed the guys tire gauge next to me and i checked the pressure and it only had 17 psi!! Since then I always carry a tire gauge with me. You know when you go to a track school, you think this is something that they would mention.. and also i had a "false neutral" that i never heard of before, and you "dont" ever want to experience one of those @120mph ...look it up! This is why they design slipper clutches and shimmy dampers and if your racing a bike without either one of these devices, then your either very lucky, or an excellent racer.
I know i went on a bit here, but hope you find this info Very helpful.
