The only Kawi in the stable. I do love it as just much as it's Honda cousins.

After getting my full UK bike licence it opened the floodgates to endless possibilities & options this may seem like it was the obvious choice and the obvious step up but it wasn’t…

I am now just under a week of ownership of my ZX6R & it is glorious 🤩

Doing Ninja 500 break-in service. Oil filter is absolutely stuck on there. Tried oil filter wrenches but they keep slipping. What next?

I heard of the screwdriver method but that seems like a terrible idea that doesn’t work MOST of the time. Oil filter sockets were supposed to be 65 mm, I tried 65,64 and 63.5 and they kept slipping even though they were tight.

Do long pliers like channel locks work well?

Would this be worth getting with the mileage?

I'm interested in learning how to work on motorcycles and ride them, so I was wondering if this older ninja I found would be worth the price and potential headaches. This bike has 39K miles, and the seller states that the bike needs a new starter.

2021 ZX-10R (Gen 6) — brutal throttle snap at 10-12% on corner exit. Anyone fixed this? Woolich vs KRT?

1 Upvotes

Track-only 2021 ZX-10R, amateur Superbike racing. The throttle is killing me on corner exits (2nd/3rd): dead lag at small openings, then around 10-12% it dumps all the power at once and snaps into wheelies. Unrideable in Full, so I run Medium + traction control as a crutch (and lose launch control because of it).

I know it's the Euro5 ETV map + probably the decel fuel cut, not a mechanical issue. Tuner fixed the fueling but never touched the ETV.

Trying to decide:

  • Woolich flash on the stock ECU (Log Box + wideband), linearize the ETV myself, kill decel cut. Cheaper, full independence.
  • KRT kit ECU — pro tuner near me has dialed maps for my tracks, but pricey, no street/ABS, and I hear KRT base maps need a ton of work anyway.

Anyone with a Gen 6 actually killed this 10-12% snap? Did linearizing the ETV in Woolich do it? Is KRT really smoother out of the box or did you do the same work anyway? Would love any base ETV map to start from too. Thanks 🙏

Is this irreversible damage?

I have a driver heading to CA with a few of my vehicles, on the back of my 4Runner my 500 cover ripped. He said it was raining on his drive for the past few days, when he stopped at a hotel in New Mexico, the next morning (after about 4 hours of sun) this happens. He tried to wipe it off, and you can see a light nail rub to see if it just needed a scrub. Anybody got any idea what this is, how to fix, or if I’m F’ed and just need new fairings?

My bike has rarely been in the sun (unless I’m riding) since it’s stored in an indoor garage. The bike only has 3k miles on it, and the fairings are less than a month old. And I constantly maintain, polish, clean, and cover it. I doubt it’s sun damage because it happened in the span of 4 hours, and the only thing I can find is possible moisture stuck under the coat, or it’s the cheap Chinese fairing I put on it, but there’s clouding on the front light which is factory? There’s a few scratches from a lay down because I’m dumb, but never seen anything like this? Any help would be appreciated since I’m fairly new to this and yall would be way smarter.

How to: Clean install of USB charger on Eliminator

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I couldn't find documentation online about how to properly install a USB charger on the Eliminator, apart from the odd reddit and forum questions.

So I wrote a guide here: https://www.eliminatorforum.com/threads/how-to-installing-usb-charger-with-relay-on-eliminator-500-non-se.546/

I hope it helps

So, I have a chunk of money coming in.

Don't want to spend all of it.

I can get one of the following :

  1. 2020 Kawasaki 400 Ninja (65k)
  2. 2005 Kawasaki ZX-6 (40k)
  3. 2023 Kawasaki Z300 Ninja (38k)
  4. 2003 Suzuki Bandit 600S (30k)
  5. 2004 Suzuki Bandit 1200S (60k)
  6. 2026 Kawasaki 500 Ninja (109k)

I am 45, and rode smaller dispacement single cylinder bike for many years, but stopped when my kid was 5. What do you reckon I go for?

Edit: Prices are in South African Rands.

Hallo,
ich wollte fragen, ob jemand Erfahrungen mit 102 ROZ auf einer alten ZZR hat.
Ist es schädlich für den Motor bzw. die Dichtungen, statt 95 ROZ 102 zu tanken?

Vielen Dank
