Thank you so much! Can you believe this tutorial is almost non existent on RUclips? After months of searching on and off, I came across your video. Thanks!
My 2011 Ninja is quite weathered, and the original reservoir is starting to get scratched and even sloughing off little grain bits. I'm glad someone showed how to do this. I don't want it to crack or break.
Hi Jonathan, I'm about to change my clutch reservoir but not like for like, so I also need a longer hose section. When removing the hose what's the best way to prevent air getting into the master cylinder?
Personally, I would remove the fluid before, change the reservoir, install new one and replave fluid with a good bleed in the calipers. It is recommended fluid replacement each 2 years to avoid issues on ABS system due to corrosion. Brake fluid takes the water from the air ( I think in english the word is hygroscopic). Regards from Spain.
Hi Jonathan looks much better than the white plastic one. Just quick question how are you finding that throttle lock that you fitted does it work any good. Thanks for sharing this video I might get one of the reservoirs 👍👍
@@JonLong thank you Jonathan just that I’ve got one of them cheap one not plastic but aluminium ones starts to loose it’s grip within 20 seconds I might buy one like yours due to doing a lot of riding on our motorways ( freeways) think that what you call them cheers for the reply 👍👍
Hi Johathan Long, Thanks for the video! Ride safe. After you replaced or changed to the new brake reservoir, do you need to bleed the brake system ? Will there any air entering the system ? I am just courious ?
There should be no need to bleed the system after this, because no air is entering the system (between the master cylinder and the caliper). I will be doing a brake bleed video soon, though, just because it’s time for me to do one.
Hi nice idea! I have a plain black wristband covering mine. I never really cared for seeing the fluid move around while riding. Hey, which tank protector is that?
@@JonLong Thanks! I did the smoked MRA touring screen also but didn't like the way the 4 silver bolts looked, so I ordered the same ones in black. Maybe you'd like this idea as well. These are the ones found on the instrument/gauge panel. Kawasaki BOLT, SOCKET, 5X20 92154-0919
I ordered mine from PartShark.com, but you can also get the part from any Kawasaki dealer or other website that sells OEM Kawasaki parts (like Revzilla).
Always thought the break fluid Reservoir looks like a ... piss pot. So I changed it to this one (by Rizoma, Italian made) on my 2017 Z1000SX: rizoma.com/en/ct125.html?cat=51

Im glad you have come back to make more vids on the SX, they have been very useful.

Did it fit for u? I got a 2011 Zx6r
@@drakeandjosh007 I have the Ninja 1000 (ZX1000GB). I don't know about the ZX6R. Sorry mate.
Nicely done, Jon. Little details like this make the difference.
Hi Jonathan, that looks so much better! Think I will have to do that on my 17SX.
Yes, I agree the white on my 19 seems out of place so think I'll take Jonathan's idea and do the same. Great video as always, thanks.
Great video as always. I find a small syringe useful to take out fluid from the reservoir.
I just did this exact thing today. Do you k own if they make the same tinted reservoir for the rear?

I just left the top on, pinched the hose off, and turned it upside down ~ no spills at all \m/
Thanks for the info. I prefer 2020 model, dark style.

i have a question. if i have on my cbr125r a square shaped reservoir, can i change it with a universal cilinder shaped one?
Hi Jonathan looks much better than the white plastic one.
Just quick question how are you finding that throttle lock that you fitted does it work any good.
Thanks for sharing this video I might get one of the reservoirs 👍👍
The throttle lock works well, but I don’t find myself using it very often.

Do you have to bleed the brakes after installing the new reservoir?
Nope! You’re not introducing any air to the brake system.
@@JonLong awesome thanks for the reply sir
Hi nice idea! I have a plain black wristband covering mine. I never really cared for seeing the fluid move around while riding. Hey, which tank protector is that?
It's a R&G Modular Center Tank Pad. There are a few pieces that come with it, but I just used the main piece.

Do you know if the rear brake reservoir is also updated on the 2020?
Thanks for the videos, could you possibly have a website you bought the smoke coloured reservoir from? Thanks again
I ordered mine from PartShark.com, but you can also get the part from any Kawasaki dealer or other website that sells OEM Kawasaki parts (like Revzilla).
will fit on a 2006 kawasaki 636 ?
Hi, where can you buy such a container? Thank you.

hey can you make a fender removal video?
If you’re talking about the rear fender, I already have one.
I wish i could get one at a reasonable price in canada. The shipping is over 40$, this is ridiculous.
Any Kawasaki dealer should be able to order the part.
