Cheers for this great video! I’ve got myself a Z900 a few ago and slowly going over the bike doing the work myself. This video tutorial really will help me out. 👍
Nice job buddy, I've never really understood why people take their bike to the garage to have such a simple job done, granted some are easier to do than others but on the whole they're all reasonably easy, strange thing is on my old bike it was a water cooled 1300cc but the new 1900cc is an air cooled, good vid Mr Calm RSM8.
It's odd how air-cooled bikes seemed to disappear with companies like Kawasaki saying they couldn't be Euro 4 compliant, and now they are back. The Kawasaki W800 being an example that was stopped and restarted.
A useful "how to" video well done. I like the use of a syringe but I would have cut the tube down a bit. I have used a similar tool to remove oil when I overfilled the engine.
Thanks! The official part is this one: www.motorcyclespareparts.eu/en/kawasaki-parts/92065097 I just bought a pack of copper crush washers from eBay though. Most of them don't have a use but I ended up with at least ten that were usable for less than the price of two official ones 😀
I've heard that said but running the bike to get the pump going is the way Kawasaki say and it's worked well for me. Sometimes a squeeze on a pipe if there's air stuck but I have only had this on my XJ6.
What's the problem you're having? A perfect idle adjustment is tricky because there's no way to measure it on the bike's instruments. If it's obviously too fast or slow, you can just adjust using the adjuster screw on the left side of the bike. Should be adjustable with your fingers.
I always use the 50/50 premixed stuff. The book says 50/50 for replacement, top up with coolant or in an emergency top up with plain water but add coolant to bring the mix up later.
I had that on the XJ6. The Honda was the worst tease. You could see the radiator cap and touch it with a fingertip without doing anything. Actually opening it required loads of panels to be removed though.
