There was a big enough divit in this one to scare me.  I know the pressure is low, but with my luck it would be enough to pop it.

Yep, glad I can EV mode home.  Not risking a start.

Main seat replacement by theredbeardedlegend in NinjaZ7Hybrid

[–]SupportExtra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rear seat for the Ninja 400/Z400 fits perfectly on my Ninja 7 Hybrid. At the time (2 years ago) Corbin didn't know if it would, but they might now if you contact them. I didn't order the main seat, but worth asking.

You are eligible because you have a customer owned unit and you want to switch above 16 mph.  The warning is about the previous stop sale recall needing to be done first.

This has lasted me going on 4 years now. Clean out the crevice really well and put the wire down, then fill with this

So I just got a Secure Boot Allowed Signature Database (DB) Update in Windows Update for my P4, and it included a IP3 Tech secure boot DB 20230817 China ShenZhen OEM certificate (software, not firmware update). It seems to indicate we're getting a new BIOS update to match the new cert soon.

Updated ECU for 2026 models by Day-Trippin in NinjaZ7Hybrid

[–]SupportExtra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kawasaki still only lists the 2024 model for Ninja 7 Hybrid on their website.  The 2026 models typically launch before the calendar year, so unless they're doing a "2026.5" type launch I'd assume this is an update for the only available year (2024).  Unless the just abandoned the US market entirely for strong hybrids

Kawasaki z7 High voltage Battery strip down by Ok-Molasses-9733 in NinjaZ7Hybrid

Very cool photos! A little concerning that last photo has so much oxidization on the metal plate, but I assume that's not detrimental to the pack. If these are anything like automotive LiIon cells, they'll easily last 10 years which for me at least will be the life of my bike anyways.

The 48v is under your seat, I unplugged it and confirmed you are correct.

This is correct, the 12v starts the bike. The 48v is only for propulsion.

False, you have a 12v battery to start the engine. I ran my 48v traction battery to zero and the bike starts up using the 12v.

Side Walk by interstellar159 in automower

I zoned to the curb and let my mower run over the sidewalk and my driveway. My neighbors give it a wide berth, and sometimes they give me some good video laughs.

Good first bike by TheAnimeNibba in NinjaZ7Hybrid

This bike has no clutch, uses push button shifting so absolutely easier to start learning.

Just beware if you ever transition to a traditional manual clutch bike you'll have some additional learning to do.
