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.

I have a 2002 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 can't find the fuse for the break light can anyone help

I'm assuming you have already checked the actual bulb is still OK? The bike uses a 'twin element' bulb so the tail light element might still work but the brake light element has blown. It's designed to be two bulbs in one so it takes up less space.On a lot of vehicles some electrical features share a fuse and only some of them are marked on the fuse box lid. Has anything else stopped working? On some Kawasaki bikes the brake light shares a fuse with the horn and the tail light so if the fuse has blown all three won't be working. Check the fuse labelled as the Horn to see if that has 'Popped'.*NOTE* ONLY replace fuses with one of the SAME Amp rating as lower 'A' fuses will blow and higher 'A' fuses won't protect your electrics.Bulbs and fuses are usually cheap to buy so you could replace them anyway before thinking it's going to be a 'Big' repair.

I have a zzr 600 zzr kawasaki and all at once it quit firing could you please help?

If your Kawasaki ZZR600 suddenly stopped firing, there are several possible reasons for this. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take to identify and resolve the issue:
  1. Check the battery: A weak or dead battery can prevent the engine from starting. Make sure the battery is fully charged and has a voltage of at least 12.5 volts.
  2. Check the spark plugs: The spark plugs may be fouled, worn out, or damaged. Remove the spark plugs and inspect them for signs of wear or damage. If necessary, replace the spark plugs.
  3. Check the ignition system: The ignition coils, ignition module, and wiring may be faulty. Use a multimeter to test the resistance of the coils and check the wiring for continuity. Replace any faulty components as needed.
  4. Check the fuel system: The fuel filter may be clogged, the fuel pump may be faulty, or there may be a problem with the fuel injectors. Check the fuel pressure and flow, and inspect the fuel filter and injectors for any signs of clogging or damage.
  5. Check the carburetor (if applicable): If your ZZR600 has a carburetor, it may be dirty or clogged. Remove the carburetor and clean it thoroughly with carburetor cleaner.
  6. Check the camshaft timing: If the camshaft timing is off, the engine may not fire properly. Check the timing marks and adjust the camshaft if necessary.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to take your ZZR600 to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.

Someone stole my motorcycle and destroyed the ignition switch how do I hotwire Kawasaki EX250.

Normally you can't because the ignition is electronic and has an immobilizer. Just buy a new switch or you will have it stolen again. https://www.google.com/search?q=kawasaki+ex250+replacement+ignition+switch ..

2000 kawasaki kdx 220r engie oil is coming out of a over flow hose on the carb when running

There could be several reasons why oil is coming out of the overflow hose on your Kawasaki KDX 220R. Some possible causes include:
  1. Overfilled oil tank: If the oil tank is overfilled, oil can get forced out of the overflow hose when the engine is running.
  2. Worn or damaged oil seals: If the oil seals in the engine or transmission are worn or damaged, oil can leak out of the engine and into the carburetor, where it can then be forced out of the overflow hose.
  3. Clogged or damaged oil cooler: If the oil cooler is clogged or damaged, it can cause excess oil to build up in the engine, which can then be forced out of the overflow hose.
It's important to identify and address the cause of the oil leak as soon as possible, as running the engine with excessive oil can cause serious damage. I recommend taking your bike to a mechanic for a thorough inspection and repair.

1991 kawasaki voyager radio works but very very low volume

If your 1991 Kawasaki Voyager radio is working, but the volume is very low, there could be a few possible causes for this issue. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
  1. Check the volume level on the radio itself. Make sure that the volume is turned up all the way and that the mute function is not enabled.
  2. Check the volume level on any external devices (such as a smartphone or MP3 player) that may be connected to the radio. Make sure that the volume on these devices is turned up as well.
  3. Check the wiring and connections for the radio. Make sure that all of the connections are secure and that there are no damaged or frayed wires.
  4. Check the speakers for the radio. Make sure that the speakers are properly connected and that there is no damage to the speakers or the wiring.
  5. If the volume is still low after trying these steps, it's possible that there may be an issue with the radio itself. In this case, you may need to have the radio repaired or replaced.

Where is the vin number located on a kawaaski kz1000 police

Most VIN numbers have to be stamped on the frame by the triple tree, left side or right side. Basically right in front of the fuel tank but will be readable without removing the tank. It will read up and down and will be 17 digits long. Depending on how old the bike is it might be on the bottom frame close to the engine but will also be stamped into the frame. Let me know what you find and I can give you another place to check, Daniel.
