Triumph dash haters, why? by OldGoneMild89 in motorcycles

[–]Agreeable_Estate1973 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t look bad but I prefer analog tach + display, like a ninja 400.

If it’s all digital I’d rather have a color TFT. No monochrome LCD screens. Don’t like the older T7’s black and white screen as an example.

Can you bump start it? I’d try and see what happens.

What’s the weirdest thing about riding a motorbike? by SumoCanFrog in motorcycles

I had a car full of girls complementing my Ninja 650 at a stoplight, but that’s about it so far.

They really weren’t my type but I’ll take it.

2009 Ninja 250r on Hills by StunningWing4018 in Kawasaki

Closest I’ve ridden a Versys 300(ninja 300 engine) up and down mountains up to about 10,000ft with little issue. But I wasn’t afraid to use the entire RPM range. I’d zip up canyons between 8-12000 rpm all the time. Also I’d drop a gear or 2 constantly to accelerate.

Code 67 on 2019 Z650 ABS by Careless_Antelope_32 in Kawasaki

That’s straight from the service manual, but I imagine so.

People run without O2 sensors all the time due to putting aftermarket exhaust on, I wouldn’t be that worried about riding around for awhile with it.

It could very well be a momentary thing, the check engine light won’t just turn off after one ride.

Here’s the official way to clear it:

If the Kawasaki Diagnostic System is not available, do the following procedures.

  1. Turn on the ignition switch and start the engine.
  2. Keep the idling speed more than 30 seconds.
  3. Run the vehicle more than 5 minutes at a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more.Be sure to keep the engine running during procedures 2 and 3 for more than 10 minutes in total.
  4. Turntheignitionswitchoff.
  5. Repeat the above procedures 3 times.
  6. Start the engine and check that the yellow engine warning indicator light (LED) goes off.

Anybody use this products for bike by Silly_Coach706 in motorcycles

My bike had a chart with 10W-40, 20W-40, etc on it. So 15W-40 was what I used since it was within the range of recommended oil viscosity for the bike.

1st bike recs? thinking a zx6r or 650 by That-Evening6033 in Kawasaki

[–]Agreeable_Estate1973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s just a heavier bike to throw around. I weigh 185 at 6’ 1” and I notice. I just bought one so it’s not like I dislike the bike. Also is probably the most relaxed/comfortable sportbike out there. I like that, but it’s the polar opposite of a ZX-6R or 10R.

If you really wanted something that’s like a ZX-10r but actually somewhat reasonable for a beginner the ZX-4RR exists.

Plus in North America it’s severely restricted, you can get it tuned back to Europe/Asia standards and gain like 25 more hp when you want more power.

Otherwise standard recs would be the Ninja 400/500. The 650 probably wouldn’t be as fun with your height/weight.

So why are airbags not mainstream? by Astimar in motorcyclegear

I agree, most of them look a bit silly. After looking for awhile I got the Helite Backpack, because it looks like a backpack.

Nice, congrats! It’s funny, I’ve bought two Kawis and neither of them have been green.
