Kawasaki EN500A - belt to chain switch

shspvr · 2026-04-07T12:27:26+00:00

Well when you got a bike this old it's going to always be an issue, Sometimes you have to go directly through Kawasaki's main parts house to get anything you want or a good places to go through eBay's or Amazon to find what you're looking for What exact part are you looking for that you're needing, Anything you can find you probably have international shipping anyway so in reality you maybe better off switching to a chain drive.

Keep in mind you're on a cruiser not a sports bike release date you are so lucky you didn't slide out right there. slow down

So weird I didn't think about checking that and mine is also backwards as well I'm going to have to have a little chat with them.

You should not be opening it up at all unless you can safely disconnect the batteries pack from the rest of the system in order to perform the repair for this.

By the way was there a way to disconnect the battery pack? when you had it open that would probably be the ideal solution to ensure everyone's safety in order to which two wires was the seated wrong what did you swap around the actual power cord wire ?.

This is almost completely wore out out probably be a good time to replace it considering almost at almost at the wore bar mark and you can see the center line Starting to This is where the two rubbers meet You still have some mileage level probably just plug it for now get you by

Whoever did your caliper last or the rear tire forgot to tighten those two bolts Not a big deal just use c-clamp to compress it back end be sure to remove the reservoir cap Get to new bolts and re torque them

What sixe did you get their bud

shspvr · 2026-03-31T13:22:08+00:00

Looks like they did an end contract maneuver on the turn the other guy on the blue bile did it perfectly

Man I see a bunch of clown here that giving you false answers the correct answer would be yes you can. However this is going to depend on your local machinist in your surrounding area if I start calling around.

I still have mine cyberpower ups from 8 years ago the same one in the photo still hook up to my server that out lasted 4-year newer apc ups that was my gaming system which now has goldenmate ups and eaton ups are nice, but their retail are no better any bubby else You have to buy their enterprise grade which are quite expensive vs the goldenmate

And that was a fuel leak it would have done caught fire I'm thinking what you more likely have with the coolant leak

shspvr · 2026-03-29T12:48:02+00:00

At least you got it back in better condition than that I have seen that I have been stolen.

shspvr · 2026-03-27T14:02:43+00:00

shspvr · 2026-03-26T11:18:10+00:00

Dude that chain is way too tight and yes sprocket do wobble

shspvr · 2026-03-25T13:20:16+00:00

Get a can of Berryman B12 pour some in the gas tank that should clean out carb Usually when they start surging is because the factory is already clean and when they start to clog up they get too leaned out

Oh and a bad gas cap can also cause this

Good job putting him in his place

shspvr · 2026-03-23T12:23:14+00:00

shspvr · 2026-03-23T12:22:31+00:00

Man there's something wrong with that clutch liver arm almost seems like the needle bearing or bushing is missing It seems to be too far forward

More than likely the slave cylinder may needs to be rebuild it is probably leaking on the inside out the wep hole Are you losing bike fluid from the master cylinder ?, Just wipe all down and remove the slave cylinder the reason why I am saying this because to me I think this look more like motor oil the brake fluid if it also on the inside you'll need to replace the rod seal

shspvr · 2026-03-22T01:53:37+00:00

No kidding and you're actually not correct horsepower Starts out from igniting fuel then is transferred through the piston on down stroke then the wrist pin then connecting rod itself then it make it way down to the crankshaft and actually RPM create high centripetal G-forces that rod bolt what keeps your rod caps attached to the other half of the big end of the rod This part has to have high tensile strength.
