Cheers 👍🏻

Thanks. A hugger sounds interesting, maybe I’ll look into that! 👍🏻

Thankyou 😁

Thankyou! More content coming soon (weather and work permitting).

Thankyou :)

Thanks 😂🐶

Good luck with it mate! It’ll probably throw up a few problems but keep the faith ✌🏻 More content on the cards but life extremely busy currently. Thanks for commenting 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you! Cheers!

Mirrors are good, still a little “shakey” at speed but loads better than the originals! Congrats on your purchase

I agree it doesn’t “match” but I bought it before I’d decided on the final colour. It’s grown on me, each to their own though 👍🏻

Congrats on your purchase. You could try Delkevic. They offer a full stainless system. Mine was running a Delkevic end can when I bought it and it sounded decent 👍🏻

From memory it’s a dyno jet kit with either 105-108 main jet. Cheers 👍🏻

Thankyou 👍🏻🏍️

From memory I’m not certain that there is a specified torque. I’ve checked the manual I have and I can’t find one. I’m pretty sure it’s a case of tightening evenly, run engine up to temp, let it cool down and then retighten as needed. Hope this helps 👍🏻

@@cjrides.1 yes that makes sense, awesome Chris, thanks so much

Links to parts are in the description but sadly I think the ER5 has been removed from black widows site.

Yes took the old one off first. You will need a high power staple gun to secure the new one I.e not a hand one. Yeah still available on Etsy, bit of a pig to fit…or at least mine was!

@@cjrides.1 cheers mate. Thanks for your video, it's given me lots of ideas for mine to be honest. I think they suit this cool, funky and muscley sort of look. Going to go with Kawasaki green on mine and paint in one of those really hot days in the summer when the metal is hot and prime the plastic bits with plastic primer first, then lacquer tank and plastics. Already upgraded brakes to er6 calliper and a green HEL braided line - big difference. Already got the mirrors from your link - they are sweet. Will get the clear indicators too as they are great looking. I had a Kawi ZX9-R and tidied up the tail by hacksawing a chunk out of the rear mudguard and throwing on a smaller number plate - so will do the same with this. I don't think LED indicators will be worth doing on this bike as I like the chunkiness of the originals - I think the bike suits them. Going to get the black with green piping and embroidered seat cover. Will get my local upholsterer to put it on as don't want to say a 'few choice words' - sorry, l learning through other people's mistakes, i.e. yours 😅 Will get the 200mm Delkelvic exhaust as love a loud grunt and this wee bike suits a bit of muscle as per your example. Black and green er5 handgrips from Amazon. And a DID chain and sprocket. Want to do the cush drive rubbers while I am at that. Also, cut the front mud guard down to a few inches and restore forks. Didn't have to take tank fully off to flush coolant which was handy. And new Hegon springs, love the chrome ones you have - will measure those as apparently they can be different sizes. I'm leaving the more expensive items to last as only got the bike and still uncertain about the reliability of the engine - that said, once I have invested a lot of the stuff, I would buy a new engine if needs be. Don't think I will go as far as taking the engine out - a bit of surface rust around rear spring hinges and underneath as it is 1997, but will probably whip that off with a wire brush drill bit and just paint with a brush.

I used a dyno jet stage one kit. The actual bhp is only about 45 which for a 17 year old engine with no history isnt bad I don’t think. The throttle response and low down torque is now much improved though. 👍🏻

@@cjrides.1 did you get the power before the jet kit have you noticed any improvement with the top end I am very tempted to get this done with mine thank you

Didn’t get it on the dyno before I install the kit due to the fuel leak, sadly. Top end is slightly better. I’m most impressed with the additional pull throughout the entire range though. I’d highly recommend it if your tempted.

@@cjrides.1 I’m not keen on the price of the kit the cheapest I found was £115 I will do it when I need the carbs done th

From memory I think I used one of these… www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs/halfords-advanced-plus200-brighter-h7-477-headlight-bulb-514942.html?cm_mmc=Google+PLA-_-Motoring%3EMotoring+Products%3EBulbs-_-Motoring%3EMotoring+Products%3EBulbs-_-514942&_$ja=tsid:%7Ccid:18030148076%7Cagid:%7Ctid:%7Ccrid:%7Cnw:x%7Crnd:4858541727958906683%7Cdvc:m%7Cadp:%7Cmt:%7Cloc:1007149&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIv62229y6_gIVi5ntCh1Chwv8EAQYASABEgKUlPD_BwE

Apologies, not sure why they were not showing up. You should now be able to see them all…well spotted 👍🏻

@@cjrides.1 nice one mate, also what size rear tyre on it…yours looks bigger

I did consider a bigger size but decided to stick to stock in the end. 130/70/17

I used a Halfords advanced +200% bulb, pretty decent I must say 👍🏻

@@cjrides.1 Hi Chris, looks pretty decent, have you tried any LED's

@@robbie2awesome I have the LED tail light on the bike which is really good I must say. Did look into it for the front but decided against it as I don't ride much at night. Some decent ones on the market though....might upgrade in the future! 👍

Hi, You could try kawasakioriginalparts.com that’s where I got most of my parts, they might ship to you 👍🏻

I’ve updated the link for the mirrors but I can no longer find the rear light listing…maybe out of stock or discontinued…

Thankyou! You should definitely buy another 👍🏻🏍️

That’s odd, the ER5 is no longer listed on the site at all…..maybe email them? Sorry I can’t be of more help to you. Good luck 👍🏻

I happen to like the sound and ultimately that’s all that matters. But thanks for commenting, have a nice day 👍🏻
