The masterpiece of the big bike boom… Kawasaki GPZ900R Ninja. Radiator replacement & cooling system hose replacement, left switch replacement, shift operation check, and more

No way, seriously?

Scheduled to be done today (in my head). Thinking I might head to Shibuya for the first time in a while while I’m out for a test ride (in my head).

Just to be safe, no oil leaks! No coolant leaks!
( ,,`・ω・´)Hmm? Something seems off with you…

What a troublesome situation.

Doesn’t Kawasaki have the horn in a really weird spot?
I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking this…

So I went ahead and cut and relocated the existing one, and relocation prep is complete.

Make yourself at home here and relax.
I got the mounting boss from an unused chin cover.

I went ahead and changed the fluid.

Before putting the fairing back on, I checked each part for leaks and…

I’m not sure if that was good or bad… I drained the gas from the float and tried a quick fix, but there was no change…

I removed it… Sometimes the long way around is the right way.

It looks like there are signs of corrosion and chronic rust.

It had turned a rather unpleasant color.

I could sense the liquid gasket, and I found myself wondering what happened in the past…

I cleaned up just the float chamber. I’ll wait for the gasket to arrive and then decide what to do… To be continued.
