If it has been sat for 2 years the fuel will have broken down so a full system flush with new clean fuel is a good 1st step.

When you know you have clean new fuel. Try starting again. When you get it running you need to use either a pair or easier 4 vacuum gauges to recalibrate the carbs. This is fairly straightforward and a cheap set can be bought for as little as 8 pounds try Amazon.

Some are adjustable or just mark and set all to cylinder 1. 2.5 - 3.5 turns out sounds about right as a start point as you said. Good luck

I bought a 04 zx10r. good battery but no electrical power any where but the starter relay. all of the suspected componets were chect on a running bike and perfermed normal. the issue was in the wire harness. I found a short in the #1 terminal connector on the left rail of the seat frame. It is hard to find as it is wraped in black tape. I found that the wire terminal had corroded and broken into. This wire leads back to the positive side of the starter relay and from that point it powers almost everything on the bike. I hope this helps. Good luck. Gixxerboy.

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.
