Timing camsaft

The camshaft caps get 7.2 ft lbs. Tighten them in a cris-cross pattern from inside to outside. Tighten each to 4lbs then 6lbs then final 7.2lbs.

The camshafts should be installed onto the cylinder head so that the punch mark on the exhaust camshaft gear and the punch mark on the intake camshaft gear align with the cylinder head surface.

Set the chain gears in time then check by turning the
crankshaft counterclockwise several turns to rotor T.D.C. mark. Camshaft match marks must align with the cylinder head surface. Out of alignment → Adjust.

Please rate this solution. Thanks!

How do you add coolant

the anti-freeze has a little separate tank on my '89 and is located down low on the back of the motor on the right side. And it is normal for the fan to continue to run after you turn it off. Check the tank and make sure you have plenty of coolant.

1996 zl600 oil leaked from what looked like an

The tube the oil leaked from is probably from the air filter box. I would change the oil and filter. You can find out where the filter is at the bike parts store/dealer. Use only the oil they sell because wet clutches do not work well with regular motor oil.
On that tube, just trace it to its origin. You can check your air filter at the same time. Good Luck Ned

Kia ora my 4x4 quad

Sounds like it is running too rich therefore causing sooting (Black) this will inhibit the spark from igniting the fuel as you need a 14.7/1 air/fuel mix. Suggest you screw in the air screw and count turns, it should be 1 1/2 to 2 turns. Unscrew it back by that amount of turns if you don't have a manual to check?

Also check the air intake is not blocked

Engine won't quit after ignition is turned off

It sounds like you have either two live wirers touching or badly burnt wirers somewhere along the constant live from battery to the ignition, or if the engine runs on for a short time it might need to be decoked, if you have added anything to the bike just before this started check the wires from the item.

The float should be free on the hinge pin. Clean the pin and be sure it is not bent. Is the float mounted upside down? Check to be sure the float still floats > If a pin hole , crack or corroded solder seal lets fuel into the float then the bowl will overfill and leak. The float needle is in place isn't it?

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:
  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.

Looking replacement batteries for kawasaki 21.6 volt batteries part # 691221

eBay is the only place and there is only one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266382749570 Or direct from China https://power-tool-batteries.en.made-in-china.com/product/tqRnSCOglNhK/China-Kawasaki-Power-Tool-Batteries-21-6V-Replacement.html Or you can open it up and solder in the individual NiCad cells. Better to replace with NiMH.
