Hi and welcome to the channel. You are right... not a lot of Ninja 1000 stuff out there. I've learned so much from TH-camrs working on their bikes (not Ninja 1000) that I figured, why not give back a little... Any suggestions or ideas are really apprecicated
There is a clutch fix, drilling holes in the clutch basket that you could have done a video on. There is also a Hydraulic clutch available for the bike. and maybe servicing the forks.
Hi Human Nature. I took your advice and did the "drill the holes ion the clutch basket" clutch mod. Solved all the problems!!! If course, I made a video of the process. Check out the video on the procedure if you haven't already !
Another great video! Had me laughing at the chain being short because the adjusters were all the way back. Stuff like that seems to happen to me too! Oh well, we'll never learn if we don't tiry! :) Thank you for the laugh and teaching us how to eventually get it right. :)
I have 2015 model, the speed sensor is actually position outside below the sprocket cover. Somehow the manufacturer still keep the black plastic cover intact like older models, so I just remove it since it doesn't have any use.
Hi Invoky - That's good to know. I now have the 2016 as well. I'm not due for any chain/sprockets on her yet but its good to know that there has been a change. Good tip!
Hello there! Please help me with advice. I have a Kawasaki z1000osx. When removing the rear wheel, the axle rusted to the nuts and the effect of unclenching the pendulum feathers occurred. Now, when installing the wheel, you need to tighten it strongly so that it fits into place. Can I use this pendulum? If you don't fully understand the situation, I can make a video! Thank you so much for your advice!
Video!!! Yes! I think you mean the part of the frame that clamps around the tensioner. If that's the case - your swing arm is now potentially compromised.... That does not sound good.
Hi. I have a Z1000 2013 Limited Edition and I have a problem with enabling a small sprocket. I've been worried about it for three days. I am sad. I took a two-meter stick as a lever and nothing :( What should I do? Please advise me.
Are you saying you are trying to remove the front sprocket nut? If that's the case... yes, it can be very difficult. Here's a couple of tricks to try and one solution that will work for certain... but its gonna cost you. 1. You'll need an other person to help steady the bike and stand on the rear brake. Holding down the rear brake will help keep the transmission from rotating as you crank on the front sprocket nut. 2. With one foot, stand on the chain to take out any slack. While standing on the chain and your friend standing on the rear brake, use a long breaker bar to brake loose the nut. Ok, just so you know, I tried that and it didn't work. You can also try heating the nut with a torch but I don't like that idea. 3. This will work for sure but its expensive: Milwaukee Fuel High Torque 1/2 Impact Wrench w/ Friction Ring Kit. From Milwaukee site: "1,000 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1400 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque" I have one and it two seconds, the nut is free. Good luck!!! By the way, if I misunderstood what you are trying to do... um, sorry, ask again?
I think DID specified enywhere between 5,6 to 5,9 mm after riveting. I done mine 5,7 mm few years earlier. It was zx6r and 520 chain tho, but I asume same goes for 525 chains. Anyway, I expect more Ninja 1000 videos from you, kinda hooked up on it :) There is no way for me to know if your forks need new oil and seals, but would be nice to see one video on that subject. Open full throttle and stay safe :)
Thanks for the data on rivet spec. I'm planning of more videos though I'm forced to take a little time off to address a sports injury. No riding for a month or three :( . So sad. But I'll be back!!!
Hi James - I replied on Facebook but wanted to cover all the bases. I too cannot find reference on the front sprocket retaining nut size. I THINK it was 22mm on the 2012 N1K.
That was not a stock sprocket. It's a 41. The stock sprocket was a 42. Someone along the way replace it down a tooth. I even went down to a 40T because I always found myself trying to pull a 7th gear on my Z1000.
Hmmm... Not sure. Service manuals typically do not list bolt/nut size. Just size it up with the sockets you have. If larger than you have buy the next mm size or two up. You could also measure the nut with a vernier caliper to know for certain before purchasing.
Ok. Thanks my Z1000 has a 15 not sure of the rear. Bought a 17 for the front. I’ve heard it’s too big to fit the housing back on. I’ll find out. Great videos.
Clearly you have not seen all the videos. Check them out and you'll see the list of items that make up the $1800. Chain and sprockets is just one. of many including new tires, wheel bearings, spark plugs, etc etc. Check out the rest of the $1800 savings videos here: th-cam.com/play/PL6oTBAChqPo6e00LcTUiAAtcB_DWfp3q0.html
I've watched all your videos! Thank you for putting these up. There aren't a lot of Ninja 1000 how to's on youtube

Great video, no pulling giant breaker bars towards you, especially if you like yer toofs. Thanks for the video for real, very helpful.
Yeah. That could have been epic fail video 😵
My have a noise there when I start running, you think I need put grease?

What size impact socket is the front sprocket nut?
Hi James - I replied on Facebook but wanted to cover all the bases. I too cannot find reference on the front sprocket retaining nut size. I THINK it was 22mm on the 2012 N1K.
That was not a stock sprocket. It's a 41. The stock sprocket was a 42. Someone along the way replace it down a tooth. I even went down to a 40T because I always found myself trying to pull a 7th gear on my Z1000.
What’s the part number for that washer?
92200-1065. www.kawasakipartsnation.com/oemparts/a/kaw/56e72ad487a8660e60bbddf9/transmission
Keeping power train in first gear would help with moving wheel.
Yeah. Did that plus rear brake. File this under having the right tool for the job
33m for the sprocket?
Hmmm... Not sure. Service manuals typically do not list bolt/nut size. Just size it up with the sockets you have. If larger than you have buy the next mm size or two up. You could also measure the nut with a vernier caliper to know for certain before purchasing.
What size front sprocket are you using??
Hi Theo - I'm currently using stock gearing...15/41 if I recall.
Ok. Thanks my Z1000 has a 15 not sure of the rear. Bought a 17 for the front. I’ve heard it’s too big to fit the housing back on. I’ll find out. Great videos.
@@theozman38 That will remove the desire to grab 7th gear :)
$1800 to change chain and sprockets? Who's doing this? NASA? Yikes - even my Kawa dealer would do this for a couple hundred, tops.
Oh - never mind. I see you've got a laundry list of items. Cool. Did you put that safety clip back in the rear axle spindle? didn't see you do it. ;)
