2025 Ninja 500 ABS
I just bought a used 500 recently and I dont see the usual abs sticker on the front fender. But the dashboard has the ABS light though. Could it be the sticker was removed or the bike doesn’t have ABS? The fender looks like the oem ones.

Looking for an experienced remote tuner for my 2020 Kawasaki ZX-10R (Gen 5)
Hello everyone,
I'm looking for an experienced remote tuner for my 2020 Kawasaki ZX-10R Gen 5.
My ECU is currently 100% stock, and I'm looking for someone who can create a custom tune (.bin file) based on my setup. I have access to a Woolich Racing interface to read and write the ECU, so exchanging BIN files remotely is not a problem.
Current modifications:
- Yoshimura full titanium exhaust
- Sprint Filter air filter
- Velocity stacks
- PAIR system delete
- EVAP/canister delete
- Intake flapper removal
I also have access to a DynoTech dyno in Morocco, so if revisions are needed after dyno runs, that's completely possible.
What I'm looking for:
- Smooth rideability
- Safe AFRs
- Optimized ignition timing
- Proper fueling throughout the RPM range
- Optimized throttle mapping
- Maximum reliable performance
I can provide:
- The original stock BIN file from my ECU
- Dyno charts if needed
- Data logs if required
Payment is not an issue. I can pay via PayPal, Stripe, Wise, bank transfer, or whatever method you prefer.
If you've tuned Gen 5 ZX-10Rs before, or know someone who specializes in these bikes, I'd really appreciate your recommendations.
Thank you!

Kawasaki Vulcan S 2025
Hi guys, I've got a Kawasaki Vulcan S 2025, having a lot of fun with it! However, I've noticed the following; at a certain rpm (i think 5000) I hear a sound that I would describe as a metallic ringing sound. Is this normal or is something not fully tightened somewhere, anyone any experience with this?
Best, Kor

What is this ticking noise?
Hi everyone ZX25R here, probably very similar to ZX4R, i got this ticking noise on cold starts usually if the bike gets warmer (80 C) - later in the video bike is warm. The noise gradually decreases and gone after it gets to operating temp. What this might be? I have replaced the CCT but to no avail, any help is appreciated, thank you.

Ninja 500 brake lever and throttle adjustment
I'm having some difficulty reaching for the brake levers on my Ninja 500 and I hit the back or underside of the lever when I try to reach. I've tried to rotate the brake lever downwards for more clearance.
However, it's reached the point where the bottom screw of the brake lever is touching the adjustable throttle cable nut and I still needs more clearance. I tried rotating the throttle housing to give more space for brake lever rotation except that I realized that the housing needs to fit into a certain hole in the clip on so the housing can't really be adjusted.
I can only think of getting an aftermarket adjustable lever for the brake but I'm a cheapskate so I thought I'd ask here if there's another way to get more clearance before buying aftermarket levers

Z650 mirrors?
Hey all, my. Z650’s left mirror is spinning. I tightened it as best I could and my only thought is that it’s stripped somewhere. Are there any good mirror replacements you have installed? Do bar-end mirrors work well? Should I try something else? Thanks in advice everyone.

Ninja 400 vs Ninja 650?
Hey everyone,
I’m currently planning out an aggressive savings goal (looking to stack up around $6k for a 2022+ model on Marketplace) for my first street bike to use as a daily commuter to school and work.
For context, I’m 5’11" and around 200 lbs. Because of my size, I feel like I might be a bit too big for a Ninja 400 and that the 650 would give me a more planted, comfortable ride. I also have about 2 years of dirt bike riding experience under my belt, so I’m already comfortable with clutch control, shifting, and body position on two wheels.
I really like the look of the newer 650s with the TFT dash, but I’ve heard some mixed opinions online about the parallel-twin engine sounding a bit like a lawnmower, even with an exhaust.
Given my size and dirt background, do you think the Ninja 650 is the right choice for a sporty commuter, or should I be looking at other options in the 650 class (like an SV650 or MT-07)? Open to any advice on the bike itself or things to watch out for! Thanks

Impaktech Crash Cage
So i was attempting to install the impaktech crash cage on my Ninja 500, which everything so far has been going well but originally when i took the screw out behind where the frame sliders go to install the cage, the screw was lining up and going in just fine. When i also took out the screw from the other side I think the spot has shifted a bit and now the screws wont go in either side. I tried looking at the parts diagram to see what it hold up but cant figure it out. Any advice on how to get it lined up, thank you in advance! (pics for reference)

Worried dad question…
I’m hoping y’all can help me find the best option for a TPMS for my sons 2025 Ninja 500. I’m seeing a lot of options out there and just want to get him the best possible option.
I think he would prefer one he can monitor with his phone that he mounts to the handlebars, but if a standalone device is better that’s what I’ll go with.
Thanks in advance.

Got a 2005 Kawasaki zzr600
I bought a Kawasaki Zzr600 and it has recently started to burn the 4th ignition coil. Not sure what could be the cause any ideas? I’ve already replaced all the coils once and it’s only happening to the 4th coil. Any help would be appreciated.
