Paid 1300 euros for a 2001 last year 🤡 full of issues but was my first bike at 25yo and I had the money saved up, was in another town, and really loved this kawasaki, full of issues and no history lol but hey at least I've been learning a lot wrenching on it and having loads of fun both on the road and in the garage!
Those fuel shut off valves are a mare. Change it for a plain grav fed tap ASAP. One other thing. You can't have to many washing up bowls in a workshop. So handy for storing bits and catching fluids.
@@JoeJoeMoto I appreciate your time, so I will not go in to it. :D I am cleaning all electricals and chanching all fluids and filters,so hope it will run great after. :D
any idea why my fuel guage has stopped working it was working before i took the tank off and moved it to the side but i didn;t disconnect it. i didnt put any stress on the lines either. any advice much appreciated.
Hey mate, hard to say without being there diagnosing it with you. But it sounds like you have either punched the guage wire or it has come unplugged if it was working perfectly before.
É ai meu amigo sou do Brasil, comprei uma Kawasaki ER-5 aqui no Brasil está moto é difícil de achar é não tem peças aqui está muito difícil acha peças aqui Pará montar , a moto, é peças do motor não tem kkkk, é venho agradecer a você é a todos que estão na família R1000 muito obrigado #AlexsandroR1000
But i had a lot of work to turn it back to original state. The previous owner was turning it into a cafe race. Than lost interest and give it to a friend. Lucky for me all original parts were there.
Another great vid mate, can't wait to see what adventures are in store for this one!!
It's getting close now! Tyres should be in very soon then I can rego it and get it out on the trails!!
Cheers mate! Just bought one of these as a first bike and this is really useful!! Good job by the way 👌👌
Thanks mate. Yeah, it's been an awesome little bike so far hey.
Great videos! Can't wait for the next one!
Thank you very much.

That's awesome mate. Yep, at least you're getting to know the bike and having fun in the garage!

Yeah, not great hey! Yep, washing up bowls work great for lots of things.
Can you explain the that shut off thing like your talking to an idiot. I got the same bike and want to make it reliable!
that music is torture
Hi Boris. Thank you for your feedback. Do you have something else you would recommend that is open licenced for use on TH-cam?
Awesome video!
Thanks so much mate. I hope to make a full build series of the bike over the time that I have it.
How much oil did it take to fill? Just bought one and it kinda looks like it's having same problems. The started included.
I think it's about 3 litres. What problem specifically are you having?

раз уж ты снял этого осьминога, то надо было его обшкурить и облить из баллончика краской, это просто, это дёшево и это работает.
Yeah, some paint for the part would have probably been a good idea.
Very good, very useful . but could we please lose the 'music'....? (Music taste is personal and subjective but, for me, ....err, no).
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you found this useful.

Good video. You forget to change manifold.😀
Thanks so much mate. When you say manifold, what do you mean by that?
