Great video . Thank you . I was wondering what happens to the fuel tank when bike is parked under the the sun or when we ride in sunny days? So keeping the tank in the shadow will make any difference? Just curious.
Hey brother great video! It helped a lot when I changed out my spark plugs. I do have a question though. I moved the TB butterfly valves the same way you did on minute 25:14 and now the bike idles really rough and it fluctuates in RPM without touching the throttle. Is there a way to set the valves back to their original position?
Hey, Thanks so much. Glad you liked the video. Coming to your Tb, when you turn the key on, can you hear the secondary throttle actuator prime? Sort of like a clicking mechanical actuator sound. If yes, I would move on to self diagnosis. Turn the ignition switch to OFF Turn the ignition switch to ON Display the odometer on your dash and press the left button (mode button) for more than 2 seconds to start the self-diagnosis mode Then the service/error code(s) should be displayed if any. From the error code, you'd be able to figure out what the issue is.
Brotha I just bought a 2013 Kawasaki ex650. I was doing maintenance on it and noticed the line that the fuel breather was broken and I have no idea where it connects to after it comes out from the tank. Would you happen to know where it connects too ?
I believe you are referring to the two hoses coming out at the back of the fuel tank(which should be visible after you take the rider seat off). Viewing from the left of the bike, the one nearer to you is the fuel drain and the other is the tank breather hose. Regardless, both are to be routed at the left of the bike under the fairing to point down and open to the atmosphere. The routing clamps for the same will be located: Clamp 1(For both hoses) Above the front sprocket cover. Clamp 2(For fuel drain hose) Between the gear shift pedal and the alternator cover. Clamp 3(For both hoses) Below the side stand mount.
Nice informative video thanks! Any issue with NGK CR9EIX Spark Plugs since its not recommended as per Manual? I have the same bike running on stock CR9EIA-9 spark plugs due for replacement.
Thanks for watching and reaching out to us. There are no issues with the fitment of the CR9EIX plugs. The bike is running great. We also did compare the sizes, it's exactly the same as CR9EIA-9 in length. Also, we've confirmed it with the ngk dealer that these plugs are compatible with the 2012 to 2016 ninja 650. The only difference between the CR9EIX and the CR9EIA-9 is, the CR9EIX is the irridium version. Usually ngk plugs with "IX" in the name means that they're irridium plugs.
Hello from the U.S., I have a 2012 ninja 650 and I'm about to do these jobs on it myself. I love how informative the video was, as well as the video quality of it with all the close-up shots of important parts! Something a lot of other video makers are missing, so thank you. My only real question is what size spark plug socket is needed to remove the spark plugs? I don't recall you saying that in the video. Thanks!
Hey, Thank you so much for the kind feedback, really appreciate it. We're glad you liked the video. It really does make our day. The spark plug socket size is 16mm. There's more information about the requirements for the job in the description of the video as well. Please feel free to reach out if you require any further information.
Hey, Thanks so much. Glad you liked the video. Those passenger grab handles are oem, they actually come pre installed with the bike in India. It's part of the rules here, if a company sells a bike in India, they're supposed to have some sort of grab handle for the passenger.
