More than the Mojave is worth. If it's more power you want, it will be cheaper to buy a bigger machine. It would be very difficult to find a turbo small enough (in air flow capacity) for a 250cc engine. And that would be the easiest part, everything after that (a lot) would be expensive, time...

Go to kawasaki.com, go to owner info, then to parts diagrams and enter the vin #. It will pull up the diagrams for that bike from which you should be able to figure you the model.

If you're wanting a more powerful spark, an electronic unit by itself to replace the points won't do it. If more spark is what you need, keep the points and upgrade the ignition coil (s) with something like Nology, Dyna or even automotive units. You'll still have to adjust the points...

Sounds like you have two problems, the float needles are leaking but the bigger problem is (a) you're not shutting the fuel petcock off between rides or (b) the petcock is leaking even when turned off and needs a new seal kit. Fix the petcock problem and unless the float needles are leaking...

Hmmm, so what great Americans was the Harley Davidson named after???

You may want to consider looking for a used engine. For sure you're looking at a gasket set, valves and piston plus possible valve seat or cylinder wall damage, a bent connecting rod and twisted crankshaft. Plus there was a reason for the valves hitting the piston in the first place. If it...

If you look on the steering neck of the frame where the fork pivots, you should find the VIN numbers as well as the date of build. Normally the model number will be followed by the individual serial number. For example, on my bike it says something like KZ1000E12345678.

You might be careful because I know for a fact that if you throw a bucket of cold water onto an overheated hog (pig), they can have a heart attack and die. So I figure hosing down a hawg could also carry serious consequences. if you're going to hose down anybody, hose down those bra-less...

So what are the symptoms, the handlebars don't line up straight when cruising down the road? If so, loosen the bolts on the top and bottom triple clamp, stand straddle the front wheel holding it in place with your knees and twist the handlebars whichever direction they need to go. Tighten the...

And I guess large displacement Japanese sport bikes are holding their value and still selling like hotcakes? Yeah, right.....

The spark plug caps with the 90 degree elbows go to #1-4 and the longer straight ones go to #1-3. I believe the coil with the small black wire goes to 1-4 and the one with the green wire 2-3.

I assume by "indicators", you mean the turn signal lights. It sounds to me that you have a problem with the alternator producing insufficient current. I bet the new flasher unit is one designed to cut out at a lower amperage and when you rev it up, it stays in the open position. The first...

Good chain lubes are grease that is thinned down with lighter hydrocarbon fractions which make them liquid enough to come out of a spray can and get down into the cracks and crevices of the chain. Giving it time to set up means waiting for the more volatile portion to evaporate and it turn...

They have nothing to do with taking the cams out, they are the necessary result of needing the room to use a boring bar when boring out the camshaft bearings during manufacture. You can buy new plugs or just coat the top and bottom of the old ones with silicone sealer the next time you have...

Those were actually a pretty neat little bike. However, they were built for only a few years and because of that, finding used parts is difficult. If the bike is in good shape (mufflers not rusted through, tank not rusty inside, runs well, not banged up, seat good) I'd give maybe $500. That's...

Bart, you sure are a glutton for punishment! You keep sticking your neck out and people keep chopping it off. My hat's off to you because I don't think I'd have the gonads to keep asking for it the way you do. Not absolutely certain, but I think 2004 was the first year for the rubber mountson...

Personally, I'm a fan of the skull wearing a cowboy hat, but that's just me. How about tattooing a big "M" on each butt cheek. Bend over and drop your drawers and it will say MoM and lay on your back with your butt shining and it will say WoW. I've heard it's a great way to impress women. So...

I'm not sure of how your engine is set up, but some engines have copper washers between the block and head where the oil galleys are. Forget to replace them or have one crushed and that could be the problem. Are there O rings around the cylinder sleeve? If so, that's called a wet sleeve and...
