i would use the 2004 because there is not much differance between the 04 and 05 models

Injectors are probably dirty and not closing properly/over fueling. When the bike is standing fuel will slowly leak through the injector/s that are not sealing and flow into your barrels gradually bypassing the pistons and rings and into your crank. This can also happen if the bike is running and the injectors are over fueling - unburnt fuel will also find it's way into the crank. Do you have a hint of black smoke from your exhausts when running and lack of power/smooth opperation? If so, that is a clear sign. This also happens on carb models when the needle and seats are old and worn.

Re-set float height, or replaced float valve as it seems that fuel is seeping in when the engine is off, this needs to be sorted out asap as it can lead to premature engine failure as it will wash the oil out of the incoming charge when the engine is running.

use large rotor/disc

not sure what type off street bike you are talking about but you will have timing marks that you will have to line up. my suggestion would be to get a manuel or take it to a pro or anyone you can trust because your bike is most likley an interfierance motor and having the timing off just a little can do extreme damage to your motor costing you more money than you want to spend. do not do this job if you are not completely confident

check the battery with a volt meter and make sure it reads at the correct voltage. If it doesn't the replace it.
If the battery checks out then it could be a fuel and air intake problem. if the bike has been sitting for awhile with fuel in the lines and in the tank then it could have separated and plugged your fuel lines or rusted. Take some fuel treatment and try and run it through. if that doesn't work then you may either have to adjust your carbs to allow more or less air and it's the same for the fuel.

I always follow these three steps first before assuming anything is majorly wrong with it. 1 Has power and battery is good 2 Check to see if it is getting the correct amount of fuel 3 check to see if it has the correct amount of air
Hope this helps. Good luck.

sounds like you're right. it is located at the kick stand. two wires route to it. uninstall it and have it checked out.

It wont be flooding because of a stuck choke, It would be a stuck float and float needle jet, so you may still need to clean the carb

Dont know what model you have but most stators are behind the left hand engine cover, either screwed to the cover you remove or behind the flywheel

have you verified that water is flowing? it has a water pump.

Find a way to check for spark when this occurs, CV carbs don't vapor lock. get back with me.
also wher is you ignition switch located?

Most starters have a bendix that engages the starter to the flywheel to turn the motor.If the bendix part of the starter is working properly the starter freewheels without turning the engine.

As long as the oil is topped up & is good then :-Its either a loose or cracked/broken clutch or clutch plate or gearbox (usually output shaft) bearings Could this be an old GPZ305? Ride Safe Bike-Doc

It is is firing out of the carb and the exhaust, the timing must be off, but also slipping. Is the flywheel tight? https://www.google.com/search?q=1984+kawasaki+klt+250+backfiring+problem ..

Not mentioned anywhere https://www.google.com/search?q=kawasaki+eliminator+%22EL+175%22+carburetor+size Lots of information for the bigger ones, 'Eliminator' is a whole range of models 125cc to 900cc https://www.google.com/search?q=kawasaki+eliminator+%22EL+175%22+carburetor+replacement ..

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.

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.
