A red ZRX is pretty rare, isn’t it?
Kawasaki has so many different models with various color variations—it’s amazing.
The color that really stands out is lime green… I guess?
We wrapped up the inspection and light maintenance!
We replaced the brake fluid and clutch fluid.
I’d recommend changing them once a year if possible. Especially the clutch fluid gets dirty pretty easily.
We also polished the underside fins nicely.
For those of us doing maintenance, every job is routine. But for customers, it might be months or even much longer since the last time.
It’s important not to let it become just another day. If we keep raising the bar on what’s normal, things should turn out well, right? Maybe good things will come of it.
We replace the carburettor bolts almost every time.
Even buying them by the box doesn’t cost much. If your shop does a lot of maintenance, why not keep them in stock?

We changed the engine oil and filter.
Newtech NC50 10W-50
Most people manage engine oil by SAE viscosity grade.
Oil makers also disclose information like viscosity index and kinematic viscosity (at 40/100°C), so if you keep that in mind too,
you might think, “Ah, so that’s why it feels thin when it’s hot!” and your numbers and feel will match up. That’ll make choosing oil and enjoying the feel of what you put in even more fun.
While it was up on the lift, we cleaned and lubricated the chain.
The hose was hitting the inner tube!
So we made a guide out of SUS304 3mm round bar.
That wraps up this round of work!
