In this video, I'll show you how to remove and install the fairings on the 2017/2018 Ninja 1000 / Z1000SX. This is a critical step for some of my other videos, and may be necessary for certain service and modifications to the bike.

Damn good video. Everything to the point, good lighting, good audio, no background music. Give this man a cigar!

Ram into some dramas trying to fit a radiator guard onto my 2020 Ninja 1000SX today. Tried to follow the instructions given but from the get go they didn’t make sense. After a while of fiddling and getting frustrated, I found this video and wow! Cannot thank you enough for putting together such a well explained and illustrated video. After watching this, I’d stripped the left fairing, installed the radiator guard and reassembled in less than an hour. For those wondering, yes the fairing construction and fitment is exactly the same on the Ninja 1000SX.

Thanks a lot dude. I'm about to fit de-cat on Ninja 2020 and this video increase my confidence in taking this task on. Obviously you got 7 haters for no reason whatsoever.

@sketchness8400 2 года назад

I have the exact same bike and colour! Your videos has really helped me out and given me the confidence to this work myself. Put off swapping my out my heated grips for ages. Finally summoned up the courage today to remove the fairings. With your guidance is was so easy and not stressful at all. Much appreciated. Job done!

That's great to hear! And nice choice of bike :)

Great vid, was a big help on my slider install. I went with the R&G Sliders and now have a little peace of mind that they are on the bike. Like others mention your very well filmed and clear to follow. Thank you sir!

@keetooderkatze2907 4 года назад

Thanks Jonathan! I watched this and your frame slider install video to help me install sliders on my Ninja 1000. Everything went great and I managed to not break anything thanks to your excellent videos!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I'm picking up my new Z1000SX this week so will now be able to give the insides a thorough misting of ACF50 before the winter salt and dirt take their toll.

Hi, I wish to thank you for this video. It is very useful for me how to remove from my Ninja 1000 the fairings. But note that if you have preinstall the kawasaki Frame Sliders you must remove them first, before remove the fairings and be careful to not scratch them. Kind Regards from Greece.

Hi Jonathan,have enjoyed watching your videos,I have a 2018 z1000sx in emerald blaze green,had the bike since march and I absolutely love it,on the subject of the fairing,I noticed a hair line crack next to the indicator on the right side,dealer checking it tomorrow,so hopefully its covered by the warranty,as l didn't damage it,looks like a stress fracture,possibly caused by vibration,keep up the good work! Ride safe

@JonLong 5 лет назад

Wow, hopefully they get that taken care of quickly for you.

Hey Jon, hope you’re well. Your videos are awesome, thank you. I have a 2019 N1K and there’s a lot of talk to go with a 55 rear tire for better handling, especially in corners. Is there any merit to this? Appreciate your insight.

@Truthasvictim 4 года назад

It sure would be nice if companies like the bike manufacturers themselves, or the companies that make the thousands of after market parts that force you to deal with things like the fairing removals to put on their parts, would make videos as good as yours. In fact, they should give you a commission really. I got some no cut frame sliders for which I'll be using your video for sure. And the instrucions that came with them..., I mean, what instructions? Anyway, thanks so much for your diligent and well crafted videos. Being a fellow Ninja 1000SX owner, I use them all the time for learning things and assisting me in doing things I just know would end up causing lots of grief. Nothing greater than having a plug beside the bike for the old laptop. lol

@Truthasvictim 4 года назад

I was putting in so called no cut frame sliders by Hot Bodies today. The right side I only needed to take off the bottom piece, but left, not take the whole fairing off, but do 3/4 of your video- while my Dell laptop sat dutifully on the chair beside myself and bike, lol- enough to loosen the largest part of the fairing to get access to the bolt that's replaced by their own bolt. Maybe it was me, but there was no way I could see that you could ever get the large piece to hook back on to the frame at the extreme top right, the tiny clip. So I took the slider and where the slider made contact with the fairing, made a notch about 3/8ths wide and 3/8ths deep to enable me to be able to get it clipped back on. It worked, but it was very tight. The only thing I could think of was that perhaps Kawasaki changed the fariing slightly between 17 and 19. www.hotbodiesracing.com/product/ninja-1000-2011-17-no-cut-frame-sliders/

Your videos are amazing man. Very helpful. I wonder if you could make a how to video of how to remove the kickstand on the Ninja1000. I tried mine (2019) and no luck. I can remove the whole thing, the two bolts, but can't disconnect the sensor, and I've tried the big bolt for the kickstand, and it doesn't move at all. Please and thank you.

Hello! Question to anyone reading this, do you have any idea that if you take the dark fairing piece off alone that you have access to the underside of the mirror? I would like to be able to unscrew the assembly and replace it with another OEM mirror, i broke the previous one.

@scotthutchens3624 4 года назад

Thanks for the videos John. I have a twin bike and your videos have guided my unskilled hands many times. I have skimmed and rewatched your videos but i can't find where you talked about removing the front side-marker lights. You said something about what to put in their place.....HELP!!
