Only 3 things to check air, fuel and spark. Check your spark by removing your left spark plug cap and place an old plug in it, then touch it to the side of the block. Crank the engine if you see a spark then, move to the right hand side and do the same. If you have spark on both sides, then both coils should be OK. If no or very weak spark, your coils could be faulty.
If you have good spark, check your air filter see if it is clean. If it looks dirty it is dirty and won't flow good air. If it is oily then your pcv is blocked.
If clean and good, then check fuel. First thing to check is, is there any fuel in carb bowl. On bottom of the bowl should be an allen head screw, undo it only until fuel comes out, check all four (one at a time). If no or very little fuel, then maybe your needle and seat are worn or stuck. lightly tap each offending carb and see if fuel comes out. If fuel starts to flow, shut off screw, do all carbs the same way. Try to restart bike, if it starts and stalls. You will need to replace all 4 needles and seats. Kawasaki's are notorious for dropping carbs.

SOURCE: after cleaning the carb it backfires in the carb

How did you celan the carbs?? Need to strip and dismantle all parts / blow out with compressed air / Check float adjustment etc./ reassemble, ensure there are no air leaks.

Did you try tapping on the starter ? On my 96 zx750 it was doing the same thing and one day I hit the fuse box with my hand and it worked but I found out my battery wasn't fully charged, try jumping it see what happens

99 kawasaki ninja EX250 motor swap for a 98 NINJA EX250 MOTOR

I would try charging the battery. Take it off and put it on a slow trickle charge overnight. Batteries usually only last 3-4 years if it is an acid battery.

My kawasaki zx9r / 1995 will not start. all signals are good en also the relais is oke. i dont cat 12 V on the gello/ red kabel that connect the relais and gaz.relais.

Pull one of your spark plugs. Ground against the frame. turn the engine over. If you have no spark, your problem is electrical.This could mean starter switch, Key switch, low oil sensor, coil, or wiring. If you do, your problem is most likely Fuel related. If you are getting fuel, the only thing left is compression.

Starter not working on my 1988 Kawasaki Ninja

Hi, Sounds like your starter motor has developed a fault. Sorry cant give you a price for the fix but if money is an issue i would take a look on ebay for a reasonably priced replacement unit.
