Horn power source seems a good idea. Thanks all for the input. I also thought about a device we have at work. It's a portable jump starter. It's about the size of 2 ciggy packets end on and will jump start a car. I had serious doubts but it's a gem of a thing. If I was goin on a long ride I wouldn't ...

Was just gonna get a weather proof plug and mount it under the seat. I wouldn't leave a load on it for any extended time. I was more concerned about the effect on the bike electronics.

Just a question , and I'm sure many have done it, but I was looking at wiring up a 12 volt accessory plug to my battery to run a gps and/ or charge my phone. Just wondering if the extra current draw would cause any issues with the bike?

Ok. Today's mission was to get on top of the surge. Filled to the brim with premium 98. Removed ECU restrictor shunt. Ride bike. Through town there was no noticeable difference in the surge. Proceeded to ride about 150 Kay's that included freeway , high and low speed corners and hills. By the time I ...

I wasn't actually blaming the fuel type just suggesting it may not be compatible with the restricted fuel mapping shunt. I agree you should always run the best or highest octane fuel available I doubt fuel is the issue ,and I doubt it's a mechanical problem from my experience with cars I think it's ...

I recently visited the Brooklyn kawasaki dealer. Brought oil and a filter off them. This is not my nearest dealer and was only in the area cos my missus lives around there. The guys there were more than helpful with advice and I felt more comfortable there than the actual dealer I brought the bike ...

I've been using 98 octane premium but I have heard they may be better with lower octane fuel. Some say this is for compliance in other countries where fuel quality is an issue. I asked the dealer and he said to use premium to avoid detonation. I'm in regional Victoria so good advice is hard to find ...

Pretty new to this road bike thing, although competent, I'm no expert. I've recently brought a 2010 ninja 650. This is a Lams approved bike, to which it has a shunt in the wiring harness to prevent full mapping of the ECU and a throttle stop screw, which has been removed prior to me purchasing the ...

I just changed the oil and filter in my ninja for no other reason than I knew the bike had sat for 2 years before I brought it. Being a car mechanic it's the first thing I did. I spoke to the dealer I brought the bike from and they recommended Motul 3100. Another Kawasaki mechanic in Melbourne said ...
