just joined this forum a couple weeks back but i have a 06 ex500 that i bought about two months ago and when i got it it had a really slow gas leak from the carb and over time it’s worsened to a steady drip now. so i pulled the carbs off and i find all 4 of the bolts that hold the bowl on are...

So I Just found this forum while researching for some parts. A few weeks ago I just picked up this project bike for the winter. Came with a clean title and was only $50. The frame is straight and motor seems to be in great shape. It did come with the original exhaust as well its just not shown...

So recently I was out enjoying my weekend when I got off the highway and came to a stop. My 1993 ex500 stalled out and when I attempted to start it it wouldn't. I pushed it into a nearby parking lot and bump started it and it turned over, and I rode it a good 15 feet when a weird...

I have a 1993 EX500 that I've been trying to fix up, today was my first startup test and the starter wouldn't turn over and all I got was the clicking noise. I decided to remove the old starter but when I took the Stator cover off to get to the starter all I saw was that one of the flywheel...

I have a 2007 ninja 500. My bike has recently started bogging ( i suppose ) around 2-4k rpms and then when it passed 4500 rpms it’ll rip like it is usually does. I cleaned the carbs throughly and put a new k&n air filter in it. I’ve found a way to manipulate it though. When i adjusted the...

I know I’m a pretty consistent poster when it comes to my noisy bike😂. I’ve just kinda accepted it at this point, but this morning when I was leaving for school, I decided to use choke because it’s coldish outside, even though I keep my bike in the garage. My bike wasn’t a fan of choke though...

Howdy y’all, I’m really hoping someone can give me some assistance, bought my first bike, EX500, and it ran ok for awhile(15ish days) and now I’m having some problems, when I try to start, it had to crank between 5-8 times before it would go, now it won’t even start up right, it cranks but...

Hello, I have a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 500R. I bought it lightly used from a guy on Facebook who was selling it for really cheap. He said it sat for a season with fresh gas and a stabilizer. So far, I've completed an oil and oil filter change, replaced the spark plugs, flushed and replaced the...

I bought my 91 ex500 few months ago. It has 10k miles, it sat for 4 years… my buddy rebuilt carb than I cleaned gas tank, got a gen 2 pet cock, changed fuel line, plugged vac line that would originally go to gen 1 pet cock. After a can of some carb spray we finally got it going! It was idling...

Gonna give as much info as possible, 1991 kawasaki ninja ex500a i believe, its the model with only one pick up coil. Ive been all over the bike, when i got it someone had of coarse cut the ignition wires and tried to hotwire it. I ordered a key switch got it and put it on, cranked the bike over...

I just recently did spark plugs, kn air filter, oil, carb rebuild, and seafoam. Bike is 2006 with 8500miles. The left cylinder pops when the bike is leaned to the right. Is this something serious or just the normal pop I've heard on this forum that the bike has? YouTube.com

The internet has proved unreliable for my search so I thought to ask the all mighty ones. I have a 2007 ex500 project and whilst I repair it I thought while the engine sits on a table I look into Nickasil or nickel silicon carbide plating. It’s used in race bikes to reduce friction and it’s...

Hello everyone, I have a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja 500 The bike is decent condition cosmetically with a dent on the gas tank and a few cracks on the plastics I live in South Florida and things are a lot more expensive here What do y’all think the value is?

I was wondering if anyone could give me the dimensions of the seat hooks that bolt onto the bottom of the seat. The bike is a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 500r. I am missing both of the hooks and can't find them for sale anywhere. I figured I could make them but I need measurements to go off of. Any help...

First post, I hate to bother guys but Im really stumped on this one. You all are most likely much more informed on these ex's than me. I ride the bigger bikes, the 7r and 9r, however i dont have much knowledge on the 500r's. So here goes the issue at hand, I friend swings by my house on his...

Okay so I recently bought my first bike, which is a 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 500R. I believe that is known as the ex500r on this forum. Anyways, I took it out for a test drive and being the dumb person I am, left the choke on all the way so that the bike was idling at 3 to 5000 RPM as I was driving...
