under the seat. . . den den den

when i take the seat off my er6f (07) there are two lengths of wire anout 15 cm from the end of the bike , and they just flap around in there doing nothing , they have loops on one end and are polted to the frame at the other


WTF ????

If you'd like me to guess I think they are for locking your helmet to your bike as my Hornet has something similar. Maybe you could loop them around the D ring on your helmet and the other end back under the seat and then lock the seat down....?

Alas not having a ER6 I may be just waffling shit, maybe they are lock-down points for the flux capacitor .

You got a Pic ther Chikky + check yer owners manual it might explain if the Rat is right

Hey Chikky, are these the bits I have crudely outlined in the grey box?

If so, according to Kawasaki they are a 'WIRE'

They look like helmet lock wires to me, one on each side.

CHIKKY, assuming you bought your bike new, get a glass, a bottle of your favourite liver killer & sit down in a comfortable chair & READ THE BLOODY MANUAL!

Definitely a helmet lock mate..

i bought the bike with 1700 k's on it and no manual lol

the problem with them being helmet locks is , they dont confortaBLY sit outside when the seat is on :S

Alternative - carry helmet everywhere you go! And ask the dealer/person you bought the bike from for the owners manual.

Please turn the spellcheck on!

Got the under the seat part nutted in regards to thread topic but wtf is the den den den all about Chicky?

Mick she has no idea!

I just downloaded a PDF Service Manual and have seen a picture of what I think you are talking about:

If what you're referring to is at the end of the red arrow then it is definitely a helmet tether cable. I'm thinking if it doesn't fit under the seat then it may be long enough to push out under frame further down.

Also, check the third post down: http://www.ninja650.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=6303

BTW, if you'd like a copy of the service manual on CD PM me your address and I'll shoot you a copy.
