20 Most Recent 1995 kawasaki Zephyr 1100 Questions & Answers

yep good advice being offered. If you do go the self repair route, try www.redzed.proboards.com I have a fairly detailed log of my zephyr 1100 rebuild which maybe useful either to put you off, or give you the motivation to do it yourself.

Because the K&N filters are much less restrictive than the original airbox and filter, the bike may run lean, and you MAY have to have the carb jets reworked/changed.

It possibly needs the carbs cleaned out.
You may try draining the carb fuel bowls, into a clean container and check for brown residue or water, there will be a small drain screw on the bottom of each carb and this will allow clean fuel into the carbs

buy some graduated plastic containers let all air out of forks put new empty container below forks and let it drip into bowl then pump forks up and down a couple times and this sounds squirt out the rest. now you now...but if you had a leak this will just be a ball park figure only. repeat same procedure for other fork...the forks on my bike do take different amounts!

The carbs have some very tiny passages that will easily be blocked by that varnish reside. You will need to pull the carbs and flush every jet drilling with an aerosol carb cleaner like gumout Remove the jet and blow the spray cleaner through, rinsing out ant gum build up. Clean all the passages you can find and the rest of the carb linkage and bod. Idle passages are vacuum drawn and if your manifold vacumm is low then the fuel cannot be sypyphoned. to keep the engine running. Vacuum leaks are common on bikes that sit because the hoses dry up and loose thier seal. Check all you hoses and replace any in doubt. Good luc And let me know, please.- Ned

Here you go...rate me?

check for presence of ac voltage coming from stator coil wire w/ a multimeter when you crank motor. also check pulser coil continuity.a service manual w/ schematics is recomended.

Oil capacity will be stamped on the side of the engine either near the viewing window or the filler hole

sounds like a weak or bad coil

you mean gas? check fill pipe for any obstruction with a wire hanger. my 96 aint to quick either

Absolutely, the rectifier on your Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 can be repositioned during a customization project. The rectifier is a crucial part of the motorcycle's electrical system, converting alternating current (AC) from the stator into direct current (DC) to charge the battery and power the bike's electrical components. While relocating the rectifier, it's important to consider a few key factors:

1. Space and Mounting: Assess the available space on the motorcycle to find a suitable location for the rectifier. Ensure that the new position allows for proper mounting and secure attachment without interfering with other components or the bike's functionality.
2. Heat Dissipation: The rectifier generates heat during operation, so it's essential to relocate it to an area with adequate airflow for cooling. Mounting it in a well-ventilated area helps prevent overheating issues.
3. Wiring and Connections: When moving the rectifier, ensure that the wiring can be appropriately rerouted to reach its new location. Take care to maintain proper electrical connections and ensure a secure, stable wiring setup.
4. Protection: Consider adding protective measures, such as shields or guards, to safeguard the relocated rectifier from road debris, water, or other potential hazards.

Modifying the placement of the rectifier may require custom brackets, mounts, or fabrication work to secure it in the desired location. It's crucial to execute the relocation carefully, maintaining proper electrical connections and ensuring the rectifier's safety and functionality. If you're not confident in performing these modifications yourself, consulting a professional motorcycle mechanic or technician with experience in customizations can be highly beneficial. They can offer guidance, expertise, and ensure that the modifications are carried out safely and effectively.
