NEW bike and having probs!

[KAWASAKI_KID]

ok so i have the parts an wethers awful an iam unable to crack on this morning. so i decide to look more around the site.

i found a post relating to ZX6 rear shocks... it stated that unless the battery is moved it may foul the shock reservoir

i have a zx7 rear shock fitted to mine an the battery hasnt been moved

now ideally i need to lower it a little any ways should i fit an original shock back in there or lower the adjustment, as it has 3 settings, apparently?

[RedexRobB]

Im not 100% sure but there should be an adjustment nut on the top of the shock to adjust the ride height. Not sure where the three settings come in for the ride height as you can adjust it to whatever you want with a nut, mm by mm.

ok has been lovely weather, got to finishing and took the plugs out, yeah they were well oily.

cleaned them up wire brush etc.....


replaced them and the final one whilst going back in has snapped and the thread and tip are still in the thread of the spark plug socket.

i am so frustrated!!!

i got little cash is this a monemuntal task i will not be able to do and give over to a mechanic

do i have to take the carbs off and remove the engine head??

this is stressing me out

i hope to have it finished as im waiting for a delivery of brand spanking new panels and tank

i really want to get her on road

ZX AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

NAUGHTY NAUGHTY
You must have over tightened it

It may be possible to get hold of the bit thats left if you remove the top cover and the plug tubes.
Depends on exactly what is left stuck in there as to how I would try and get it out.
Not something I've ever had to try and do................

Bit late now but plugs should be torqued in .................or finger tight plus a 1/4 turn

yea i found it says basically what i suspected. like was said before though, if its in so tight i cant use anything to pull or unwind it.

i wondering how hard it is to pull it all apart and put together again

[KAWASAKI_KID]

so basically i take of the head plate and the top block, is that it??

ive never had a sports bike b4 so looking at 4 carbs is daunting?!

whats the best way,

then i'll print the manual parts

although i have found that there are some really pukka threads for mainting your bike urself on this site

top work guys
