Hi ive got a kawasaki
Just replace the tank gas with fresh gas and install a new spark plug. That should get it running again.
KMX 200 1988. Carburetor settings. Gra
HELLO THE FIRST THING IS THE CARB CLEAN? A STOPPED UP CARB IS GOING TO GIVE YOU ALL KINDS OF TROUBLES. OLD GAS AND VARNISHING AND RUST ARE CONTAMINATS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.
OK A GENERAL RULE OF THUMB ON THIS IS.FIRST SET THE AIR SCREW OUT ONE AND A HALF TURNS.THEN .TURN THE IDLE UP A LITTLE HIGH.THEN SLOWLY REDUCE IT.AS YOU GET CLOSER TO IT TRYING TO QUIT.THEN START TURNIG YOU AIR SCREW JUST A LITTLE IN ARE OUT.GOING OUT MAY MAKE IT IDLE UP SOME MORE AND THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO HAVE HAPPEN. IF SO TURN THE IDLE SCREW OUT A LITTLE MORE NOT MUCH JUST DOWN TO GOOD" PUR". ANOTHER THING I WOULDNT TAKE IT NO MORE THAN A HALF TO THREE QUATERS EAITHER WAY ON THE AIR SCREW.I HAVE SEEN ON SOME BIKES WITH WORN RINGS ARE COMPRESSION PROBLEMS THAT THE AIR SCREW WOULD GO OUT A LITTLE MORE THAN WHAT IS NORMAL.BUT I'AM GOING ON THIS AS YOUR;S IS NOT HAVING THIS PROBLEM.
HOPE THIS HELPS

Hi please could you
hi, you dont say if the bike still runs, although i would presume it does as the lighting system is separate to the ignition system
as far as i can remember the kmx125 only had 1 fuse, this was located at the battery.
i would first check the dc voltage at the battery if your battery is in a good state of voltage and you have at least 12volts, then you should then check at the ignition switch, try to locate the same colour wire and check for voltage there, if you have no voltage at the switch you could have a break in the wireing loom, poss around the steering head,, you could also run a separate wire on the outside of the wireing loom from the + side of the battery to the switch, it is important that you disconect the old wire to the switch in case of the wire earthing out useing some insulation tape insulate the old wire,
in short the theory is put live to the switch, and the switch will send live to the lights horn and flashers
if on the other hand you have no power in the battery, then you could be looking at a charging problem,
Won't start, ran earlier in
It has flooded. The choke may have been on. Pull the plugs and thoroughly clean them or replace them and it should start.
I have a 2002 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 I'm customizing it can the rectifier be moved so it's not just hanging there.
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

I have a 2002 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 can't find the fuse for the break light can anyone help
I'm assuming you have already checked the actual bulb is still OK? The bike uses a 'twin element' bulb so the tail light element might still work but the brake light element has blown. It's designed to be two bulbs in one so it takes up less space.On a lot of vehicles some electrical features share a fuse and only some of them are marked on the fuse box lid. Has anything else stopped working? On some Kawasaki bikes the brake light shares a fuse with the horn and the tail light so if the fuse has blown all three won't be working. Check the fuse labelled as the Horn to see if that has 'Popped'.*NOTE* ONLY replace fuses with one of the SAME Amp rating as lower 'A' fuses will blow and higher 'A' fuses won't protect your electrics.Bulbs and fuses are usually cheap to buy so you could replace them anyway before thinking it's going to be a 'Big' repair.

I have a zzr 600 zzr kawasaki and all at once it quit firing could you please help?
If your Kawasaki ZZR600 suddenly stopped firing, there are several possible reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and resolve the issue:
- Check the battery: A weak or dead battery can prevent the engine from starting. Make sure the battery is fully charged and has a voltage of at least 12.5 volts.
- Check the spark plugs: The spark plugs may be fouled, worn out, or damaged. Remove the spark plugs and inspect them for signs of wear or damage. If necessary, replace the spark plugs.
- Check the ignition system: The ignition coils, ignition module, and wiring may be faulty. Use a multimeter to test the resistance of the coils and check the wiring for continuity. Replace any faulty components as needed.
- Check the fuel system: The fuel filter may be clogged, the fuel pump may be faulty, or there may be a problem with the fuel injectors. Check the fuel pressure and flow, and inspect the fuel filter and injectors for any signs of clogging or damage.
- Check the carburetor (if applicable): If your ZZR600 has a carburetor, it may be dirty or clogged. Remove the carburetor and clean it thoroughly with carburetor cleaner.
- Check the camshaft timing: If the camshaft timing is off, the engine may not fire properly. Check the timing marks and adjust the camshaft if necessary.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your ZZR600 to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
