I fell with my Kawasaki 450
I was riding around town and tried to do a U turn but my foot peg got in the way and my bike fell but I caught myself. After that went down I picked her up and drove her back home but she wasn’t able to go top speed and would cut off at stop lights. Now im home tryna figure out the problem with her is. She won’t start at all and if she does start it’s not even for a second. My guess is the bank angle sensor but idk. No matter how much I look it up I can’t find where it’s located.

Has anyone found plugs for the mirror sockets, or for the rear seat mount bolts?
I recently switched to bar ends on my ‘26 and am wanting to plug the threaded sockets of the original mirrors. I am also looking for ways to clean up the tail fender with the rear seat off. Anyone found anything that looks good for these?
Edit: scoured the sub a bit and found a link to these for the mirror holes: https://sw-motech.us/en-us/p/4052572272541?srsltid=AfmBOooawYRJnH26DKAtJ5b1O3ULiNkpk32_wpb7MchYjT2LMvxcRoYk
Also Puig mirror plugs: https://a.co/d/08cNTIgm

How do you feel about riding at higher speeds?
I live in a mostly rural area, and most of my rides are curvy back roads which is great. I don’t think I’ve ever gone over 65, and only in short spurts. I haven’t taken this bike on the highway yet, and I’m a little weary to. I’ve noticed that the Eliminator is easily manipulated by cross winds. I also own a Honda Shadow 750. And even strong winds don’t seem to affect it. On the eliminator I feel like I could be blown to the side.
Edit: 65mph/105kph

Update, Probably totaled
2025 eliminator. “Minor” accident that I considered fixing myself but by the time I bought parts to fix my bike I was gonna be at the deductible for insurance anyway so I sent it to a shop for a professional look and the bill is $7500. Probably they marked it up to charge my insurance. Anyway, I have the gap insurance which I thought was a rip off at first but hallelujah. I walked away from the wreck with a couple bruises and I have to pay my deductible. Basically I get to start over at 0 with a new bike. Such a crazy couple days.

Upgrading exhaust! Need suggestions!
Hey yall! Just wanted suggestions! I’ve seen everyone saying the m4 slip on or the CS racing exhausts are good. I just want more suggestions! Dual exhaust pipes would look badass too! Thanks for taking the time to read and reply have an amazing day!

Smooth road, beautiful nature, and pleasant wind. What else do you need for a good ride?

First Bike
Hi everyone! My first bike is this 2025 Eliminator! I love it so far, taking my MSF in 2 weeks for my full endorsement. What wind screens do you recommend? I mainly want less pressure on my chest from the wind. Thanks for any help in advance!

Mirror recommendations
So we all know that the stock mirrors are trash, can’t see behind you at all. What mirrors did everyone replace their stock mirrors with. I would like to change mine out.

Slip on exhaust diameter
Hey yall,
Got a eliminator a few weeks ago and obviously the stock exhaust is obnoxious, as is a hundred questions about the exhausts. I went through all the threads and product links but does anyone know the inlet size inner diameter for a slip on?
Here she is :)

First Bike!
After years of inventing reasons not to get a bike and way too much research (read as: stalling), my husband and I finally did it. We picked up TWO 2025 Kawasaki Eliminators (mine is the SE, he got an ABS) and I could not be more hyped.
Neither of us has ridden before so we’re fully in newbie territory. The Eliminator was an easy choice.
Just wanted to pop in, say hey, and join the community officially. Any tips for brand new riders on the 450 are 100% welcome. We’re soaking up everything we can.

First Bike as well!
Hey everyone!
My husband already posted but I figured I would jump in with my new bike.
So, meet Shadowfax folks.
I’ve been reading the advice etc on his post. Our crash bars are ordered so we can get them on as soon as we get them.
Excited to learn.

Connecting carpuride to battery
Hey All. I need help on what terminal ring size to get to connect the carpuride wires to the battery terminals. I did not check the bolt size before buying few rings and they ended up way too small.
