Thanks !

Yo creí que era el único que le daba mantenimiento al cable del clutch, tengo una herramienta que supuestamente hace que la lubricación sea más fácil pero te llena las manos de aceite, es más fácil usar una bolsita de plástico y una liga para hacer un embudo al rededor de la entrada del cable.
Buen video !!

I have the same bike, its great! What kind of oil do you use? I have 75w transmission oil and power steering oil? Will any of them work for cable lubrication?

[@JeMasLT]

What oil do you use for lubricating all cables and other things (One we already know, EP2)?
How to choose right one?
Maybe some video in future about all chemicals you use in bike shop? What geese and oil goes where.
Greetings from Lithuania, Thanks for content.

Hi, for lubricating all the cables, sidestand I use motoroil. In my case Castrol but any motoroil will do. 😉. And thank you for your tip on the grease and oil I use ! In time I will make a video about that. 👍🏍

what is the clutch cable switch for? my bike is stuttering during acceleration right after I adjusted the clutch with the silver dial on the handle. is the switch broken? or did I do it wrong?

[@TheOldMechanic]

That switch is for, you need to sqweeze the clutch handle, to start the engine WHEN its in gear. 😉

How is that plastic box thing called what you hold in your hand at 12:40? I tried to google it but can't get a name for it

[@rapptarzan]

I guess you mean the black thing, thats the clutchlever

[@keithmartland6463]

Yes wait till you remove the clutch plates that's when the fun starts, the biggest flaw on any Kawasaki is the clutch, pain in the A***!

[@hamzasyed5671]

About How much would the entire service you performed on this bike cost?

[@TheOldMechanic]

Hi Hamza, I don't know.. I love to wrench on motorcycles, and make youtube video's about it. To show all of you how easy it actualy is, so you can do it yourself. I only wrench on motorcycles from family and realy good friends, I tell them which parts to buy. And I only do it on bikes that (I think) is interesting to make youtube video's about. So to be honest, I am not in it for the money.
Greets from The Old Mechanic, ride save. 🏍👍
