that's 5 steps leaner over the N3YK....as long as the clip is in the middle it will be fine.
I'm running the N3WJ, which is 4 steps leaner over stock, in my '00, with the clip in the 2nd from top comfortably.

Will you be willing to part with it if it will work, Sandblaster?
So you recon this will work with my setup Fox? And it won't be too lean? I will be running Motul 710 at 40:1 with the PC Platinum header and the DEP silencer.
Foxx4Beaver:
what's your ballpark elevation?
it will work...you just want to be sure you have the clip in the middle position.
these bikes came extremely rich from the factory, and going with a needle 4 steps leaner was necessary to get them to run clean. I run mine with the clip in the 2nd from top, which is a leaner setting, with no problems.
ecdeyzel:
Thats good news then! I have sea all around me so its pretty safe to say a few meters above sea level at most.
Foxx4Beaver:
I run at either side of 200 feet above sea level...you're good.

After breaking a screw driver and small hammer, I decided to get the (semi) right, but cheap tools and get a good hammer and punch. I got the bearings out! The front was surprisingly difficult. I still have to properly clean the front hub and rim like I did the rear.
Drained tha apple sauce coolant.
Drained the tar-like transmission fluid.
Removed the header for reviving.
I upped my game with a magnetic bowl.
Go the the triple clamps off, but the bar mount are not moving at all. Seems like they are stuck in there good.
The steering stem bearings look salvageable. They turned very smooth when they where on the bike. Just needs a clean and good regrease.
Whats left.
Can anyone tell me what Kawasaki model this rear fender comes off? It says made in Italy at bottom, so maybe an Acerbis. But I think it is the wrong rear fender for the bike as it didn't look right when it was on the bike. It seemed too far back.

Great work so far. Do yourself a favor and grab yourself a map gas torch and a bearing and race removal set from harbor freight. The heat will save your life getting old bearings out and getting the new ones in. Remember to leave your new bearings in the freezer for a little while before install and then heat up the area around where the bearings will be installed with the torch. If you do that, the bearing and race driving set will get those new bearings in place in just minutes. I wish I Would have known that before I attacked my swingarm.
