SOURCE: Yamaha YZF 1000 Starting Problems

sounds to me that it could be a faulty wire....it may not be grounded right. follow the negative wire from the battery.check it and make sure the insulation is not cut anywhere.check that the wire on top of the starter is good and tight also.

SOURCE: Kawasaki zx7 won't start

Hi. I had the same issues as what your saying. What we found was that the leads are a screw in into the spark plug cap. Unscrew the leads to the cap, trim the ends off by a mm or 2 and re-screw back into cap that goes onto spark plug. There renown for pulling out and giving weak or no spark.

SOURCE: kawasaki z1000 wont start and the f1 light flashes

The flashing FI is telling you that the Fuel Injection computer has detected a problem in the system. Some problems are minor (dirty air filter) and the computer will still allow the bike to run. Some problems are major (plugged up injectors) and the computer will not allow the engine to start. You will need to have a dealer check the computer diagnostic reading to find out where the problem is.
Can I get a “very helpful” rating on this answer?

Does a 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan meanstreak have a kill switch when it's low on oil

Never heard of cut out switches for oil on motorbikes or cars. Only in commercial items like generators etc. that are run un-attended. That is why you have an oil pressure gauge or light in cars and bikes. Never run one of these if that red light is on or comes on while in use. Engine seizure will occur.

Turned ignition on, had all lights bike turned over, then all went dead

sounds like you have a electric short. Start by checking main wires to the battery to see if they are loose or dirty or broken

I have a 1987 kawasaki gpx 250 with 60 000 kms what type of oild should i use when i service it. im waiting for service manual to come in postwill take 7 to 10 working days but would feel more comfortable...

Use SAE 15W40 for bikes from Castrol, BanRay or any motorbike oil brands. You need about 2.3 litre and a new oil filter suitable for your bike. The oil filter normally lives on the front part of you bike just ahead of your exhaust pipies.

Tundra 2007 - turn off "maintenance required" light

Oil Change Reminder Lamp: Service and Repair
Engine Oil Replacement Reminder Light
This light acts as a reminder to replace the engine oil.
This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to "ON" and will go off after about a few seconds.
When you drive for about 7200 km (4500 miles) after the engine oil replacement, this light illuminates for about 3 seconds and then flashes for about
12 seconds with the ignition key turned to the "ON" position. If you continue driving without replacing the engine oil, and if the distance driven
exceeds 8000 km(5000 miles), the light will come on. The light will remain on thereafter.
If the light is flashing, we recommend that you replace the engine oil at an early opportunity depending on the driving and road conditions. If the light
comes on, replace it as soon as possible.
Resetting the system
The system must be reset after the engine oil replacement. Reset the system by the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "OFF" position with the odometer reading shown.
2. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position while holding down the "TRIP METER" reset button.
Hold down the knob for atleast 5 seconds. The odometer indicates "000000" and the light goes off.
If the system fails to reset, the light will continue flashing.

Oil and Heat warning lights stay on after engine start

Have been fighting this problem for 2 weeks .It happened when the bike feel over to the right in the garage. I called Kawasaki and this is what they said .A lot of V-twins get and air lock in the oil system when tipped over. Slide an oil pan under the bike. Then disable the ignition system. spin open the oil filter and crank the engine over until good flow is acheived and slowly spin oil filter shut and oil pressure should come up and all the lights go out. I hope this helps.
