2006 kawasaki ZZR 400 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

you wont find one but all exept the head and carbs are the same as the zzr 600 use this instead availiable at haynes .com

the choke makes it rich,so it must be lean for fuel, check and clean fuel system, and check for inlet manifold leaks

It is better to replace it with a performance version. K&N filters sells them on-line and you will be very pleased with the results. Changing your spark plugs to Denso Iridiums will also provide a little power boost (HP up) and improve fuel economy.

does the engine turn over but not start or does it not turn over at all

you should have a header tank some where on the bike you fill this to add water to the rad.

gday there your problem might be that your fuel pump might have stopped running ,these can sieze up running empty ,it may have a blown a fuse ,so that might be something to check ,if not it may be one for the dealer cheers pete

If you mean the bottom of the tank then one goes to the carb and one is just a breather/overflow that gets ran down out of the way and doesn't connect to anything. If you are talking about the carbs then one goes to tank and one goes to the vacuum

Fuel system is clogged,..GARAUNTEED!! Take off the fuel tank,to get to the swirl bowl. Inside the swirl bowl,you will find a fuel filter,which SHOULD be completely white,and most likely,its not! Get a new filter and install it. While you have the tank off,disconnect the injector line,and remove and clean the injector with carb cleaner and pressured air.Put everything back together,and then add an INLINE FILTER to the feed line on the fuel pump which is located on the left hand side,running from the shut off valve,to the fuel pump. These are awesome quads,but the fuel injection system is a pain in the a$$.Good Luck!

They don't go too high on their own, someone has to have maladjusted them
It could be a leaking float, that will amount to the same fault. Or, it might be the choke is stuck on.

Are you out of oil?

Given the year of the bike there are a few things you will need to look over

*Check your break pads for even wear
*Change your break fluid
*Check your clutch lever (it should move about a millimeter before it actatually grabs the clutch)
*That bike has carborators. They need to be cleaned (could be part of problem 1 and 2)
*Check the fuel tank for rust. (there are treatment kits if it is rusted)
*your throttle cable should be lubed with cable lube(part of problem 1)/(when you pull the throttle cable then let go it should snap back closed)
*get higher octain fuel (this will help with problem 2)

1. if u need more fast .. then don't change air filter and otherthings except oil...
2. remove the BORE and give that to bore service centre they adjust it ,how much speed you want, only in bore don't go beyond that...

Hello and welcome to Fixya, It can be done, one of our competitor's race teams did it with some pretty drastic modification's. Its definitely a challenge.But seen it accomplished. I could give you there info, they may be able to give you some hints. Let me know, Thanks for using Fixya

You have two coils. Each operates two cylinders in what is called the wasted spark system. The plug fires on the compression and the exhaust stroke. If the spark plug is wet you have either a shorting wire , a bad spark plug cap , or a fouled spark plug. Try replacing the spark plug cap and spark plug.
If you still have spark on that cylinder and the plug is dry. You have a bad needle in the carburetor, a stuck float, or dirt causing the no fuel issue. You will have to clean and inspect the number three carburetor .

It is is firing out of the carb and the exhaust, the timing must be off, but also slipping. Is the flywheel tight? https://www.google.com/search?q=1984+kawasaki+klt+250+backfiring+problem ..

Absolutely, the rectifier on your Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 can be repositioned during a customization project. The rectifier is a crucial part of the motorcycle's electrical system, converting alternating current (AC) from the stator into direct current (DC) to charge the battery and power the bike's electrical components. While relocating the rectifier, it's important to consider a few key factors:

1. Space and Mounting: Assess the available space on the motorcycle to find a suitable location for the rectifier. Ensure that the new position allows for proper mounting and secure attachment without interfering with other components or the bike's functionality.
2. Heat Dissipation: The rectifier generates heat during operation, so it's essential to relocate it to an area with adequate airflow for cooling. Mounting it in a well-ventilated area helps prevent overheating issues.
3. Wiring and Connections: When moving the rectifier, ensure that the wiring can be appropriately rerouted to reach its new location. Take care to maintain proper electrical connections and ensure a secure, stable wiring setup.
4. Protection: Consider adding protective measures, such as shields or guards, to safeguard the relocated rectifier from road debris, water, or other potential hazards.

Modifying the placement of the rectifier may require custom brackets, mounts, or fabrication work to secure it in the desired location. It's crucial to execute the relocation carefully, maintaining proper electrical connections and ensuring the rectifier's safety and functionality. If you're not confident in performing these modifications yourself, consulting a professional motorcycle mechanic or technician with experience in customizations can be highly beneficial. They can offer guidance, expertise, and ensure that the modifications are carried out safely and effectively.

eBay is the only place and there is only one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266382749570 Or direct from China https://power-tool-batteries.en.made-in-china.com/product/tqRnSCOglNhK/China-Kawasaki-Power-Tool-Batteries-21-6V-Replacement.html Or you can open it up and solder in the individual NiCad cells. Better to replace with NiMH.
