The breather tube you can see under the cam chain tension is leaking oil out of the tube. It's pretty slow and it only occurs when the bike is running but it leaks oil onto my rear tyre. Any idea how I can fix this and what causes it?
Just got a rebuild kit and have cleaned the carb a bit. Any recommended info on how to clean the carb properly would be of much help. The bike currently leaks fuet out of a breather hose and idle very high/inconsistently. When you let the bike idle for a while/don't rev it out, the bike starts sputtering and there's more pops on decel. I believe all the jets are stock (around 160 main) but I'll clarify later if someone asks. Bike has a full yoshi pipe and is the 400e so not sure what the recommended jet sizes are but the rebuild kit came with a 142.
So my bike has two issues that consistently occur. First it leaks fuel out of the breather hoses after is has been running for a bit. Second after its been running for a while/gets hot(after about 2-5 minutes), the idle climbs and stays very high when in neutral or the clutch is pulled in. This bike is a drz400e with a full yoshi pipe a 165 main, 45 pilot, 65 starter and the other air jets I haven't checked but I believe their stock. Also you reckon 165 main is ideal with a full yoshi exhaust system? It runs pretty good although very rarely sputters a bit.
P.S may have found the issue. when i blow through the fuel line to see if the float needle seals it does mostly but if you blow while its already opened and then go to close it, it will still seep air.
Looking into shoes I can daily my bike with and also use outside of riding. So far interested in the ixon ghost wp and rst hi top. Tryna stick to under around $200 us. Any suggestions and reviews would be great.
So I currently have the quadlock from the picture above from another bike. Any chance you could get it to fit onto a cbr500r 2013? If not then should/would I just shill out the 80-100 bucks for a brand new one or get some cheap china alternative.
Just wondering what the best tyres are for the cbr500r, currently have the road 4's on and i know the road 6 is a very popular choice my main issue is the price. Any cheaper options? If not just any recommendations for any type of riding would be great.
Just got a cbr500r wondering what mods would be good if any. Firstly looking for a slip on. Although im not desperate but if there is a decent aftermarket, relatively cheap slip on that isnt embarrsingly loud thatd be great. Just a touch more than stock is ideal imo.
New to the Kawasaki world but possibly will be joining. Looking into selling my cbr500r and getting this damaged ninja 400. It's low km's and a 2022 but it is a little rough around the edges and the front reinforcement bar behind the front headlight cowl plus the headlight cowl are damaged. Need to replace at least the headlight cowl and probably the reinforcement bar behind it. Just wondering if you lot think it's worth it.
Probably a dumb question but is it normal for grey smoke to come out of the exhaust on start up? It's only really for a very short time on start up. Seems like it could just be condensation which means steam but I'm not sure. The bike is probably running rich as well.
Sold my seat concepts low seat now not to sure where to go. Thought reupholstering the stock seat would be a good idea but is the plastic base an issue when actually having an effective widen seat? Should i get another new seat entirely? Working with $400 aud but im open to anything. Any options/suggestions are welcomed
Not sure what to do with my seat. I currently have the seat concepts low seat which came with my current bike and I personally think it's very uncomfortable. It's harder than the stock seat. The seat being low I personally don't really need. So my options are sell this seat buy a more comfortable seat, put gel or make the current seat more comfortable or use the stock seat which I could reupholster as well and make significantly more comfortable
