  1. I've already seen that. Was it posted here, or on the german forum? I can't remember. It is certainly interesting.
  2. If I were to do that, I would use Guzzidiag. It has a function to activate the injectors manually. This allows one to see if they are working, how much they are injecting (catch it in a glass and measure the volume), and what the spray pattern looks like (put a piece of paper in front of the injector whilst it is being activated). During the process, as the ignition is on all the while, it should also be possible to see if they are leaking, I reckon.
  3. Apparently about €15,000 in Germany for the spiffier model https://www.kawasaki.de/de/products/Modern_Classic/2024/Z900RS_SE/overview?Uid=0886X1BbWV9bUQlcWA5YXFtZDQpdWlxYDlsKDAkJXA5cDl4 And then there is this for a couple of bucks more... https://www.kawasaki.de/de/products/Supersport/2024/Ninja_H2R/overview?Uid=0917WwpeDFwJDVFeWVAMXFgLXApRDFxcClhZXwxdWA0LCwo
  4. Cornet. Lovely. And what a cool tuba. The little dancing girl has excellent taste.
  5. The link didn't work for me just now. The message said "connection to the server facebook.com failed". Maybe facebook was having kittens, or maybe my interwbe connection, or maybe the page has been taken down.
  6. Tom is on the right track with his questions, I think. The output shaft of the gearbox will have a bit of play relative to the input shaft of the gearbox, as will the final drive from the input shaft to the wheel drive. That is normal. The drive shaft should sit tight on the bolted up splines, both the one out of the gearbox and the one into the final drive. The uni-joints have no play at all in them when they are good. You need to have a specific look at all the steps along the way. PS: at 6,000 miles I would be checking if it is all apart anyway, but not expecting any trouble. Assuming the bike hasn't been mistreated. Anuvverps: there is also the sliding spline in the middle of the shaft that compensates for the difference in length as the suspension goes up and down. That will have a very small amount of play. If it didn't, it wouldn't slide.
  7. I experienced an eclipse, I think it was a total, in Australia when I was about 15, and one in Germany in around 1998 or '99. Weird, interesting, exciting, lots of words for it. I'm very glad I had the experience.

    Throttle body

    That's how it is on mine, as far as I remember. Throttle cable to the left throttle body, and high idle on the right. On the Breva 750 i.e. too.
  9. I have only read about this, but it sounds easy. Guzzidiag has a function to activate various things to see if they work. One of them, as far as I understand it, is the injectors. The function is on the page accessible from this menu next to the green mark I made on the screenshot. I can't get further than that without it being connected to a bike, but I think that should show where to find it. EDIT: "Ansicht" is likely to be "view" in the english version, and "Aktoren" may be "actors" or something similar to that. The positon in the menu is almost certainly the same. As far as I have read, it is as easy as screwing out the injector, connecting Guzzidiag, and activating the function. It shows you if the injectors work at all, and, assuming they do, allows you to see what the spray pattern looks like and/or see how much fuel they are letting through.

    V11 Special

    I made that mistake myself, but was uncertain enough to ask about it here Looking at the photos of that bike, and being polite enough to assume the bloke is not hopelessy stupid, I reckon his custom seat frame might have left him no other choice.
