In this video, I'll show you to remove and install the rear fender of the 2017/2018 Ninja 1000 / Z1000SX. This will be useful if you want to access the ECU, install a fender eliminator, aftermarket rear turn signals, or an aftermarket tail light.
Stay tuned for upcoming videos on the LED rear turn signals and the integrated tail light! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Seriously man, I love your channel. I was always afraid to do a couple of things by myself and paid a lot of money for other guys to just use a screwdriver. Thanks to you I am getting more and more confident to do stuff myself.
Thanks for the nice comment! Working on your own stuff is fun and rewarding, saves money, gives you appreciation for the engineering and construction of your bike, and assures you that the work gets done properly. So I’m glad that the videos are helping equip you to tackle more projects on your own!
Very useful video for me to see the routing of the rear light/indicator wires - thanks very much .... keep em coming
Greatly appreciate your video's! I've followed your instructions & have made many of the same mods on my 2018 using your video's as guidance. Couldn't have done them without your help.
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the feedback!
Really helpful video. Gave it a good viewing before replacing my damaged rear fender.
Thanks Jonathan! I watched this to help me install the fender delete kit on my Ninja 1000. This made it so much easier than following printed directions. Great job!
In Europe the sx have the one way screws
It won’t be easy to release them
:(
Jonathan…. Very well explained… please do continue to create such content for Ninja 1000.
Thanks for the video. I noticed the instructions from MotoDynamics were really skimpy and I needed more guidance. Your video provided that. Great vid! Thumbs UP!
Given the absurdly inadequate instructions for how to install the fender eliminator by Motodynamic, I can' begin to tell you how thankful I was to find your video with your very clear explanations of everything. For example- the instructions said to remove the 4 hex bolts after removing the back seat- fine, self evident, but also said to remove 2 screws. What screws? Until you've done all that John did, you'd never even know where to look for them. That's just one example of how patheitc they were. Really, Motodunamic needs to hire me to write it for them. There was nothing related to the wiring, taking off the rials or fiberglass around the seating. Bad joke assuming you'd know all that stuff.
Thanks for all your videos !. Everything is neat and clear.

Really enjoy your videos. Very helpful and informative. Thanks for making them
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy them!
Absolutely brilliant....a real help in fitting my Shad top box which had hopeless fitting instructions...thank you buddy!
Great video, very clear instructions, perfect vid views and the pacing is spot on too.
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks man, just installed fender eliminator and integrated light on my 2014 and your video made it a breeze!
Glad it helped!

Great Job !!! Keep up the good work!!!
Great video helped me with my tail tidy
Great vid - wish I'd found this BEFORE trying to take mine apart.
Thank you so much! This is so helpful! Now i will do the same, keep you posted how it goes, hopefully if I can follow your instructions correctly... no disasters should happen! Hahahah
Awesome video Jon..buddy its ur new bike man and u r ripping it off to show us the information about the bike,really appreciate it man..u r putting a lot of effort and time for this man..shout out to u..love d scrolling informations below..its a heck of a procedure man,but its easy wen watching the step by step procedure from ur video..very nice nd useful..nice watch by d way my man..jon I need to ask u something about the rear seat..i know its for pillion,but its really comfy for d passenger for d short and long trips??give some clear idea about rear seat Jon..take caare my man..love u..peace.
Tearing apart a new bike is half the fun! And I’m happy to be able to share the knowledge and experience with you guys. I’ll have a better impression of the pillion seat when I do a full review of the bike. My girlfriend hasn’t had a chance to ride on the Ninja yet. But I did sit on it myself and found it to be soft and comfortable. I also really like that it’s curved to hold the pillion in place. On my last bike, she would slide forward into me every time I came to a stop. Ouch!
@@JonLong _ Coming from the 650, as the driver, I found the 1000s seat much better. It isn;t always pushing you forward making you very uncomfortable and forcing you to re-position constantly.
Was waiting for this. 👍
Your video's are well made!
Really helpful mate - thanks.
Thankyou so much dude!
Thanks for the video
Very neat work.. Appreciate it..
Hi Jonathan, a video on suspension setting would be great. For both front and back.
Thanks, that’s a good suggestion!
@@JonLong -Yes, that looks to be a very complicated issue i am taking immediate interest in too. Hope you get around to that sometime too.
Nice job
Well done explanation, I am an engineer & i can tell when some one is correct ! Thank you.
dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all the new series on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my gf lately xD
@Ayaan Callan Yup, have been watching on Instaflixxer for since december myself :)
your videos are very good buddy
Thank you! So are your comments!
Great instructional videos! I have 2021 1000sx and looking to get ecu diagnostic tool from BT moto. Do you know where I can find the ecu # on my bike?
I have a 2011 but it looks similar. I'm putting in a Scorpio alarm with the plug and play kit. My question is can you access the turn signal and license plate light connectors without this disassembly?
Hello you can make a video of how you remove the rearview I would be very grateful I would like to replace them or make them cubed with carbon film thanks
Top video!
However I managed to loose the rubber damper above the tail light. I want to buy a new one but don’t know what to search for on Google, any tips?
My one of my rear signal broke, how to install a new one?
Great vid as always.... what’s that ratchet your using mate?
Great vid but noticed you had already removed the security bolt in the middle of the rear subframe stay.
I don’t think the US version has one. I didn’t realise and now have a cracked undertray
How do we get out this *@# screw???
Nice
How did you trim your fender? I'm about to cut mine and was wondering if you have any tips?
I’ll talk about that more in an upcoming video, but unfortunately I couldn’t record the process. If you look at the back of the fender, you will see mold lines that run horizontally. I used the one that was even with the bottom of my license plate as a guide and cut with a dremel tool and a cutting disc. A saw would work well too. Then I used a sanding bit on the dremel to smooth it out. It is easy to cut and sand. Use eye protection, since it seems to be a glass fiber reinforced plastic.
Thanks so much John. I got the nice Motodynamic fender replacement but the instructions are a total joke. Doesn;t amount to a quarter a page of writing and 2 of the 3 pictures are uesless.It's like they assumed you had watched your video. If they have their own instructional videos, like Vagabond does, I have yet to find them. Looks like you've saved me a lot of grief.
Jon, are you planning to install a radiator guard at some point? I would love to see a video on that at some point.
Keep up the great videos!
That’s a popular request. I’ll see what I can do!
Jonathan Long Awesome, thanks!
Hi in which video do u remove front reflectors thx
The front reflectors just come off by hand. Grab the reflector and turn it like a screw (counter clockwise) and they come right off. I didn’t make a video for it.
Hello,
I would like to please know if you have changed the rear mudguard or if it is the original mudguard but the lower section could be removed.
thank you
It’s the original mudguard, but I cut it off at the bottom of the license plate.
is the lower part of the mudguard removable or have you cut it?
@@youssefsbai861 I just cut it. It's easy to cut, and you can use the bottom of the license plate as a guide to cut a straight line across.
thank you very much for the explanation and suggestion
Mate, what a fantastic socket wrench you are using, what company makes these?
This is a Tekton swivel-head 1/4" ratchet. I bought mine on Amazon, but have seen them in stores too.
Cheers buddy, I’ve just received mine from Amazon, it’s great.
Found the tool interesting used while 0.3 sec to 2.00 in the video.... Any links for those?
I don’t understand what time you are referring to. Can you clarify?
Jonathan Long the tool that u use to remove the front seat and grab rails.
Oh, that is just a 1/4” ratchet with a swivel head, with a 6mm hex bit socket.
Here is the ratchet: TEKTON 1/4-Inch Drive by 5-Inch Quick-Release Swivel Head Ratchet, 72-Tooth Round Head | 1490 www.amazon.com/dp/B00A50NB2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_J2hRAbFJVB3JE
And the hex bit socket set: Neiko 10074A Hex Bit Socket Set, S2 Steel | 13-Piece Set | Metric www.amazon.com/dp/B000GYLGU8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_x5hRAbJ5DJXAE

Que pena que no esté en español
Is the 2018 model the same as the 2017??
Yup! 2017 - 2019 are all the same. The only difference that I’m aware of is that the 2019 model inverted the colors of the LCD display. 2017 and 2018 have white text on a black background, and 2019 is the opposite.
@@JonLong brill!thanks for that!keep up the good work!!👍
How to access air filter
I’ll be doing a video for this, but not in the near future.
How to remove the front headlight fairing
Just curious, what are trying to do that requires taking the front fairing off?
Jonathan Long i want to access mirrors
2 mins 55, mine are just spinning and won't come out 😢
where r u man......?
the bottom plate doesn't fall down for me as in your video. Something is still holding it up. Removed all screws as shown in your video. Very strange.
looks like there's an anti tamper screw that holds the plate up. How did you remove those ? In your video it's already removed
Can you let me know what time in the video you are talking about?
I had the same problem. I have a UK bike and there are additional anti tamper bolts. I had to drill the top one and remove it with a bolt extractor. Then the bottom tray comes down.
Gary Gray
Can you show us
Jonathan Long had the same problem myself. Looks like all UK bikes have an additional bolt which holds the lower plastic tray in position, so it doesn’t drop down as your video suggests after removal of the other hardware. It has an anti tamper head too.
I don't know why I watched this video all to the end. My bike is different than yours and I already installed a fender illuminator!
Maybe you were trying to fall asleep? Either way, I’m glad you watched and enjoyed!
Maybe tell people to take out the security bolt on their UK bikes so they don’t snap their undertray like I have just done 🤬🤬🤬
All that and didn't fit a tail tidy !
