I have soo many guys telling me that my 09 500r is underpowered. Staggeringly so..."oh its a 500...should have bought a 600." Idk what they heard but this bike friggin zips!!! Its my first bike, im 35 years old, and dont have a death wish. I live in ohio and in 3 days the cold will break and the precipitation will stop so I can get back on my baby, I love love love this bike!!! Its not underpowered, it is extremely responsive to pushes and leans, and if you are the type of person who grew up looking at ninjas thinking "wow!" This is it. GREAT BIKE...JUST...GREAT!!! Excellent review my man.
Probably people like me dropping down from a 1000cc sports bike. Compared to that, it's extremely underpowered. However, they're completely missing the point. I realised that I don't need 1000cc. I want something light, fun and cheap to ride, that I can take on the motorway at 70mph. The little Kwak does all of that and does it well.
Just bought a 1996 today. You’re not the only one that likes that seating position. I love it, fun little bike!
I'm looking at a 2002 that's practically brand new with under 2000 miles as my first bike. I love the look of these bikes, easily one of my favorites.
How much they asking? Did you buy it?
It is super nimble and comfortable with tight curves canyon carving, it is extremely fun, especially for the buck. It is a parallel twin. I go 110 without even noticing, it effortlessly goes 118, it goes 120 but I keep it under 115, every weekend...😊
I have a 2000 Ninja 500 and with a change of exhaust, air filter, and jet I have hit roughly 125 on a couple occasions. This bike will get you there. I have had mine for a year now and I love it.
what exhaust did you get? only ones i can find are universal slip ons
@@julvy2521I got the delkevic ones. They ain't bad.
I have 2004 ninja 500r with a 9inch delkevic exhuast and it has no problem hitting 115. I’ve been up to 123 mph with it as well.
Wow you're bike flies That's awesome
How does it keep up with newer 2010+ 300,400,650s I goto a lot of bike meets recently sold my 2013 300 I bought with an eco tune as it was my summer daily for work I took to bike meets aswell I was wondering if these would still keep up with newer bikes but still have that little extra power as I don’t really want a 600 or 650 as i feel like I’m too light for the power at 150
They call it a parallel twin. Thinking of getting on myself Perfect bike for my daughter to start off on
Yes that's what I meant it's just a mistake whenever I'm talking on video I always make simple mistakes. I don't like to break videos up I like to do constant speech
The real mystery is why the beige yellow screen never trend never took off.
Awesome review Dan! And the bike looks and sounds great.
fair review but last year for the 500 was 2009 not 2014 and its a parallel twin not quite a v-twin my wife has one.
Smh...I'm so tired of being critiqued on this... it's been gone over again and again and again in the comments. it was an honest mistake man that's what happens when you do one Take videos without cutting the footage. I'm used to working on V twins so I say it often I always do this when I mean to say parallel
@@IFixShet Get a thicker skin dude you wanna be a TH-camr and content creator what did you think it was gonna be easy? you want to make an informative video then get your information right or don't make TH-cam videos anymore.
Also has 50
HP
Just got a 06 500r looks brand new. But the engine needs a new topend. Its was less than 400 bucks just wondering who tou go to for quality parts
When it comes to buying parts I would try to purchase them direct Kawasaki Because then there's no confusion on your engine model if you give them the Vin they will give you the exact parts that you need for your engine.
Thank you so much for your video 🙂
No problem
Part about learning the bike and carbs too true I have the 02 didn’t know that about dealers DIY for sure fun but not if you don’t wanna learn
It did have a restyle in the 1990s and it’s not a v-twin it’s a parallel twin, smooth enough in its power band and not too bad down the revs, but gutless below the power band
Looking at a 05 ninja 500 new brakes, clutch, rear tire, mirrors, blinkers & aftermarket exhaust for $2500 with 20k miles. Good deal?
not sure about the 20k miles part. maybe shoot for $2250 or 2k?
It's a parallel twin...not a v-twin...making about 49 to 50 hp...at least those were the specs for the one I owned in the late 80s to early 90s.
I’ll do a review on its old brother buster…..1991 Kawasaki ex500 ALTHOUGH ITS IN THE 20s here in central PA 🥶
Mines for sale also lol
I just picked up a 2004 500R for 1200$ in Canada. Its got 16000km. Basically new. What do I need to store it properly for the winter? I have a service manual. But I was just looking for a recommendation to keep the carbs clean. Thanks.
The best thing to do is to run the bike completely out of gas And drain the gas tank
@@IFixShet perfect thanks man. Loved the series on the 500R. I learned everything I know from them.
@@loganharrison2514 On the bottom of the carburetors there are float bowl screws you can let all the fuel out of the carbs with the 2 screws on the bottom of the float bowls After you drain the gas tank. Then all you have to do next year is turn the gas on fill the bike up and start it up
@@loganharrison2514 awesome man
How’s the storage situation under the seat? For insurance and whatnot.
Not a lot but enough
I’m gonna buy one for 1800 tomorrow
Good deal
Might buy one 1993 ex500 heard they are pretty bullet proof. About 40k miles. What should i lookout for? It would be my first
40,000 Miles is high mileage for a sport bike just remember that walking into the sale. At 40000 miles if it hasn't had a rebuild you're looking at maybe $1200 to $1400 purchase price.
@@IFixShet dude us asking $1600, im good mechanically but again never worked on bikes before.
@@Bill-up9xw I would say it's not worth it. If it had 25 to 30,000 miles that would be acceptable. 40,000 miles 3/4 of the life of the engine is over.
Ive had a 2006 500r sitting in a completely taken apart stage for years and I’m getting it built up as I’m told it will run I’m taking my course to learn to ride but I’m wondering if I should sell it for something different any suggestions?
I mean the 500 is a great starter platform so is a katana 600
Any older bike at this point is good for beginners, it’s going to get crashed or damaged during the learning process, but hopefully you can learn without crashing. 110 isn’t fast enough? Golly…. People really don’t understand speed.
I have a 2001 ninja 500r with 103,000 miles do you think that’s really high?
That's extremely high mileage. Most sport bikes are considered high mileage at 25,000 to 40,000 the fact that you have reached a 100,000 is mind blowing!
“Never like to just hop on a bike and tear ass”😂
Hey Dan, I did fix a Pixley, gutted one and put in an F4, fun little LOS flyer. Keep on keeping on dude. I own a K75 BMW that now needs work.
Like all bmw lmfao
Enjoyed and agree however it’s 400lb bike .
Hey I'm a 17 year old I bought one of these I could use some help fixing it up if we can get in contact?
Hungrydansgot2eat@gmail.com
is there anything in between a 500 and a 600 in terms of weight and power?
Most of the 600s are super sports. Weight probably not much, but for the power the 600 smokes a 500 easily, a 650 though, then the 500 and the 650 not TOO much difference.
Some of the 650 parallel twin engines can get pretty rowdy I have yet to find one on power though with an actual 600 super sport. What you have to remember is in line 4 cylindersAre short shaft engines which is why they're so fast in the mid-range RP m's where a parallel twin-engine has long cylinders so they can't reach quite the same RPM value as an in line 4 that's why parallel twins are more aggressive in the low RPM range.
huge cos displacement as well as cylinders quantity or how those cylinders are setup say 💩 on true performance spcified bike gpz 500 or cb 500 make 58-60 crank hp vs feg cbr 600 f3 make 100 crank hp at 10 kg more woght and cbr 600 rrmake 115-120 crank hp at the same weight so diffrenc is huge cbr 600 rr need 6,5 sec feom 0 to 100 mph depend on rider wroght asf if rider can launch good vs gpz or cb need around 15 sec top speed 115 mph gps vs 160 mph if this is not big diffrenc for you than ok just saying 👌🏻😉 but feg yamaha xj 600 s diversion 2000 year is 61 hp 210 kg bike which have identical performance like gpz 500 and cb 500 👌🏻 bandit 600 or sv650 are midlle class in this comaprision something between supersport 600 and those 500 however closer to those 500 0-100 mph 10 sec around 62-100 mph gpz cb xj 10-11 sec vs sv bandit 6 sec vs cbr f3 4 sec vs cbr rr r6 3 sec like im saying displacement say 💩 watch on engine power and weight of bike those 2 basic stats give you basic best picture of capability specified bike if you push it really hard cos at end ypu can ride 220 hp superbike like 3 hp moped 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻and if you want good lowend than watch for highest torq at lowest rpm 👍🏻
Got to love the comment section, just a bunch of people correcting you lol.
Well it's best not to misinform people when reviewing something.
Well it's best to suck a huge d*** if your name is Mintysquinty2989 🤣 And don't bother typing back saying something stupid like oh you can't take constructive criticism Because at this point I'm just gonna return the same thing that's being Presented to me a troll comment. Clearly it has been gone over enough times in the comments section that anybody that was looking for information Got exactly what they needed from it. So let me know how that massive d*** tastes in your mouth 🤣🤣🤣 8===D
84 horsepower and a V-twin, huh? Closer to half that, and a parallel twin.
At 9500 RPM it produces 81.5 horsepower. And yes I did make the mistake during a run on video of saying v-twin instead of parallel mistakes are made I am human but you are incorrect about the horse power. Time and time and time again everybody knit picks this video just watch it enjoy it love the review and suck on these nuts!
@@IFixShetgpz 81,5 hp ? go watch techspec closer 😉👌🏻
@@mociczyczki Straight from Kawasaki website at 9500 rpms the bike produces 81.5 horse power. Maybe you should study more
@@IFixShet gpz 500 ? 🤐your crazy 👌🏻
It is NOT a v-twin
This has been covered by 217 different people already man. I was doing a straight video start to finish talk we make mistakes I had just got done working on a V-Twin so I kept saying that in the video honest mistake but as you can see if you read through the comments it's been corrected numerous times
@@IFixShet Good on you for explaining it to another oblivious commenter lol
Holy shit figure out your audio. Its only going in the left.
It has nothing to do with figuring out my audio that is part of using a GoPro with single microphone If you understood go pro gear then you would understand 👍 The go pro hero 7 media mode only supports one microphone For your helmet so you don't get both speakers.
It's 380lb wet not 500lb lol.
500 pounds with me on it
@@IFixShet😅
‘09 was the last year of that body style. And it’s not a V twin.
