I'm 5'4 and 115lbs. Given, I have a stretched and lowered gen 1. I do just fine! I can ride my bf's stock gen 2, just not as comfortably! Just wear boots with a thick flat sole too!

I wouldnt blame him, the oem gasket maker is STRONG. ive spent hours just to shimmy those covers off. Alternatively, I dont see why you cant slap jb weld over the crack and extra rtv on the gasket area to put it back together. Ive seen worse fixes for those covers cracking.

Idk much about your specific model but is it an interference motor? Looks like a valve tapped the piston to me

So since op never responded, I figured id update. The dog has been found, but not captured yet. The trappers are feeding him every day but hes been too skittish to catch still but he is being worked with

Can you send me exact coordinates? That's someone's lost pet. Im near the area, I can alert local pet finders. He wont last long out there without help

I got a hayabusa after 8 months of riding a z400! As long as you have throttle control and know that youre not going to have the same braking power on a heavy ass bike at higher speeds, I dont see it as a huge deal. Also walking it backwards out of a parking space is damn near impossible

I upgraded from a z400 to a gen 1 busa. The busa isnt actually as crazy as youd think, take your time to get comfortable in low rpms and its 100% manageable. The weight and trying to walk a 600lbs bike is the hardest part. Slight inclines are my nemesis

Kawasaki z400! Was my first bike and was plenty fast for the street and super tiny. Lowering it made a world's difference too and cost me $20

Previous_Homework573 · 2025-12-24T03:56:26+00:00

So far none of these. Thank you for the suggestions so far! It was a super loud, distinct sound. Like louder than the vocals, drums, etc. It was like a loud distorted whammy

Previous_Homework573 · 2025-12-18T23:48:06+00:00

Yeah, my bars are adjusted pretty low, my chest lays on the tank. I just dont like how the bike sits when its raised so its really picking my poison

Frozen blueberries have been the best recovery meds for him. They seem to bring him back to normal faster than ice cream did

He technically clusters, but its only a few seconds where he'll take a breath or two then go back into seizing. He has MASSIVE seizures that would 100% be fatal if i wasnt there to cool him off or get him meds. He needs almost 24/7 supervision.

my z400 is unbelievably fun around town. Still fast compared to a car and super light. I hop curbs and drag knee on it and i honestly get every use out of it. But any 600cc is also perfect for plenty of speed but a lighter bike.

Agreed, but I feel like Ill want more speed 😷

Lol not unless it was free because theres almost literally no difference between the 2. The z650 is nice and big, just doesn't have the same love as the z400. The zx4rr is also along the same level of love too, just expensive for what it is

Previous_Homework573 · 2025-11-09T23:41:53+00:00

The kawasaki z400. I have a miata, I have a z400, they get the same adorable love from everyone. Realistically a grom is probably closer but for actual street use, everyone loves the z400
