Motorcycle maintenance is a key part of a rider's life and we want to make sure our machines are well taken care of so that they take care of us. I've learnt a lot through KZfaq, friends & mechanics, so in this video I give back to our community and hope I can help other riders save time & money, without compromising on safety. What you'll need: Kawasaki z650, Owner's Manual, Torque Wrench, Axle Nut Socket, Cotter Pin, Breaker Bar, Spanners, Pliers, Measuring Tape, Common Sense, Patience, Muscles, & of course, this video! ALWAYS CHECK YOUR OWNER'S MANUAL FOR THE CORRECT FACTORY TORQUE SPEC FOR YOUR MOTORCYCLE'S REAR AXLE NUT!

Thanks a lot for the walkthrough, especially for naming the exact size adapters and showing the entire process. A lot of folks skip over things... Here in the US I just picked up a 2017 z650 white with only 197 km. Love the bike so far. Its my first "modern" bike as before I had older cruisers with carbureters, etc. This bike is so smooth comparatively, lol. Its like I'm learning to ride all over again. Cheers

That’s why I made the video - too many others like to skip things so this is a real life example. Glad to help & enjoy the new ride!

Lo hago igual que tú pero las piezas que marcan las rayas no me quedan iguales hay mucha diferencia de marca, lo he apretado poco a poco y lo mismo en los 2 lados por que pasa eso

Use the right tool for the right job. Pliers work for cotter pins. Not wrenches lol

Hi, For some reason my chain is very tight in some spots, so much so that it will get stuck when i spin rear wheel, and in other spots it has 3 in / 7.5 cm of slack. I have 10k miles on it do i need to get new chain?

@BlaineyBiker Жыл бұрын

That sounds dangerous I suggest you speak to your local dealer

it’s called kinks and yes it’s dangerous!

@@blizzthebike I ended up getting a new chain, taking much better care of it. keeping it in spec with tightness and lubing it once a week. New chain feels much better than old one

Most likely your sprocket being slightly off center, new chain is always nice but check sprocket alignment. Nip the bolts open and tighten them in a star pattern a little at a time, should help to even out tight spots.

Bike should be on the stand, isn't it?

@BlaineyBiker 3 жыл бұрын

Only it’s kickstand for this according to the owner’s manual

@@ryanjohnson433 i think thats only if the bike is on a stand since the wheel will move since its on the kick stand i think your good. just my opinion
