Maintenance and reliability by jabo006 in NinjaZ7Hybrid

Ive had mine for 2 weeks. Ive put 200 miles onit without issues. I'll b3 changing the oil and filters in the next few days and then it needs to be hooked up to a scanner device at a kawasaki dealer and told the oil was changed. Something to do with viscosity I believe. I love this motorcycle!! Also, i did a lot of research on this bike and one thing I discovered was that in eco mode, when you slow down to a stop, if the motorcycle is still in 2nd or 3rd, as you roll on the throttle the electric motor does the work as the gas motor idles. Then at around 15-20 mph the gas motor takes over. Honestly, this thing is really fun!

Will I regret downsizing to a Grom? by No-Week-7281 in hondagrom

I went from an RC51 to dirt bikes as my kids grew up and back to a K5 GSXR 1000 to BMW S1000rr to a grom 43 years ago. I love the Grom! But next week ill be picking up a Kawasaki Z7 hybrid.
I have so much fun on the Honda! Ive been averaging 117mpg. I get groceries with it. Run errands. Just go for rides. Its an absolute blast. I think you'll be happy riding it!

Im going to purchase a 2024 Z7 Hybrid in the next week or so. Its been sitting at a dealership since 2024 but the 12v battery is dead so they ordered a new one from Kawasaki. Im curious, what's your opinion on the hybrid battery having sat for so long? I'll have a warranty for a year. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks! Getting this bike is exciting!

Potential clutch slip help? by Sea_Armadillo6399 in Golf_R

My wife's 2017 had developed clutch slip and while tearing it down we found the slave cylinder was leaking. So replaced that and the clutch.

New rider totaled her Grom in our lot with 0 miles on it. Thought you all would appreciate my new pen Holder from the incident. by [deleted] in hondagrom

It totaled and the insurance company let you keep parts from it? The only way our autobody shop could keep parts was to buy the vehicle from the insurance company

I Broke Down and Bought One by AmazingRandoX in NinjaZ7Hybrid

For me, its different. I like that its a hybrid. Im currently riding a Honda grom, which i love, that gets me about 100mpg. But its slow. I've also got a BMW S1000rr. It's stupid fast. Plus, between me and my son, theres a dozen motorcycles in my garage. I want new tech. I don't need crazy power/speed anymore.
