Curious regarding what else do you guys change in your n650s aside from the exhaust.

What exhaust is everyone running?

I’m looking to get an exhaust and do an ECU flash from Moore Mafia. So far I’m going back and forth between the Hindle EVO or Yoshi AT2. What is everyone’s recommendation? Some videos would be appreciated too, ride safe everyone!

Lots of maticulus work strategically placing zip ties.

The back view of my beautiful ninja, just hear me out tho fr fr, I’ve done some research and everyone seems to use Amazon turbos, I personally don’t feel like that’s smart, garret makes a good seeming one, but no one else seems to make a turbo for something less than a liter in size, I’m wondering if anyone has experience putting a turbo on a motorcycle of this size that could give me some advice here, I know they used to do it in the 80’s so if it could be done on a carburetor then there’s no reason I can’t now with the right info🤝

Hey everyone! Ive had a 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 650 since 2013 but I never did my own maintenance on it. Always took it to the shop. It’s been sitting for the last 6 years and I’m now on a mission to get it running again. I want to do most of the work myself with my brother in law.

I’m stump on what this part is. Clearly it needs to be replaced but I’m having a hard time figuring out what it pertains too.

This may be a silly question for seasoned bikers but I’m trying to learn and watching all the videos I can on YouTube to educate myself on proper maintenance.

If I do get it up and running I’ll be taking it to my local bike shop for a check up to make sure it’s cleared for the road.

Any suggestions and advice are welcomed!!

I just picked up a non-running 2013 ninja 650 thinking it was just electrical issues but when I was trying to manually turn the engine over with the timing bolt on the right side. I found a loose gear and missing bolt head that goes into the crankshaft… any suggestions on how I can replace the timing rotor bolt. I’m thinking of getting a bolt extractor and/or taking the engine apart… is this engine a lost cause or should I put more time into this to see if this is the only problem. I was going to take off the stator and crank the engine from the left side and see how locked the engine is or if I should test compression and timing

There is a 2019 Kawasaki 650 abs for $4500 for sale. I was wondering if it's a good deal. I'm new to motorcycles and want to get my first bike. It's has 4900 miles.

Hey guys, I'm looking for the lower cowling panel. Not sure if that's the right wording. I'll attach a picture. Anyone parting theirs out? I've got a 2025. I'm gonna cut a hole in it for my stunt(not stunting) cage. It's the piece I'm holding. I just don't wanna cut a hole in my OEM brandy new fairing. Thanks!

Does Kawasaki do an official tail tidy that i can buy? Would prefer OEM over some random brand.

Secondly (and this is more important): would you recommend doing it myself or asking a mechanic to help (there is an official kawasaki showroom/mechanic thing in my city that would probably do it)?

Essentially, I dont know much about working on hardware or vehicles. Never owned a car, its my first bike and I have only ever cleaned it and looked after the chain. Im a pretty smart maths grad so can almost certainly follow the instructions but my worry is not getting things back together properly etc and having issues. Is it worth the hundred or so quid to pay someone else to do it? Could be a valuable learning experience, but this is my baby so I dont want to mess it up (if it was a cheaper, older bike i wouldn't worry).

Thoughts please

(Also, newish to world of motorcycling so try not to be too judgey, please 😊)

Think the garage forgot to bolt this back after maintenance.
I want to attach a strap of my sidebags to the space below but the whole plastic piece is loose because of the missing screw.

Anyone knows what kind of bolt this is?

Quad lock fork stem mount

Is the Quad Lock fork stem mount NOT Pro compatible with the 2026 ninja 650? Seen mixed opinion posts

I'm trying to find some used plastics so I can cut holes in them and not on my fresh oem's. Sorry I'm not scrolling through the histories but does anyone know if a '22 plastics will fit a '25? It's the plastics below the tank going towards the thigh. I'll attach a picture for ref.
Thanks !
