My brother in law has an older Kawasaki, model unknown. I would guess an older 600 series. We have not been able to find anyway to check the oil. He has had the unit for probably 10 years and swears it has no dip stick. I must admit that I have not found it yet but there is no way a gasoline motor would have no way to check the oil. Ideas? I will empty the bed and start again. We just bought a Diesel 2510 and even with the manual the dip stick was a challenge.

      2010 Massimo HS500 (carb model) Help
      By matthejl
      Quick history:
      Bought it about a month ago and when I test drove it, it ran good. Loaded it up and took it home. Owner said it had been sitting for a long time, but was "just serviced". It only has 500 miles on it total. Drove it around and found out the charging system wasnt working...so had to charge the battery once every week and a half or so. One day my daughter was driving it and it died. I couldnt get it to start again and I noticed there was no fuel in the filter...I first checked pulse/vacuum line to make sure it was sucking and it was. So I replaced the fuel pump with one I found local...which is for a large riding lawn mower...and it worked. Engine started and ran, but struggled at low speed immediately following running it at higher speed. It would bog when decelerating. I have also noticed now that it will backfire some on decell and die.
       
      In the meantime, I went ahead and installed new stator and trigger coil assembly to get the charging system working again (that was an issue because it would not start at all after that...but eventually found that the trigger coil was wired backwards in the plug from the factory). I have also set valves, but I set them to .005 (intake) and .007 (exhaust)...per the manual. But what is weird is the manual states its mainly for the 700 series, but "can" be used on other models. On the front it says 500/600/700. I have noticed that the most common setting seems to be .005.
       
      Anyways it still has the issue to me that seems like its running lean. Not full power now, struggles immediately running it faster, and will die and pop some on deceleration.
       
      My main problem now is that it wont get to higher rpms as fast as it did when I first bought it. It struggles on deceleration after running near top speed.
       
      Things I have done:
      changed fuel pump
      replaced stator / pickup coil
      thoroughly cleaned carb (twice)
      set valves to .005 and .007 (is .007 too loose for exhaust?)
       
      anyways it seems to have a lean problem, and wondering if you have any suggestions on what to check.
       
      Thanks

      Snow Plow on 2015 Kawasaki Teryx 800LE
      By JFC
      Want to add a Snow Plow.  Vehicle has been lifted 2".  Does the bracket need to accommodate that extra lift to keep the plowing geometry correct? Denali, Switchblade, KPI, Poly v Steel?  Any recommendations.

      Kawasaki Mule First Service
      By rsar
      Just got quoted $770 for my Mule's first 50 hour service. Is it just me, or does this seem insanely excessive? I was expecting something in the $350 to $500 range and thinking that even $500 would be a little high. Is dealer service really necessary at 50 hours? At this price I think I'd like to shop around for a mechanic that could do it for half the price. I don't really have the option of shoping around for a cheaper Kawasaki dealer, as there is just this one dealer a reasonable distance away (30 min). The next closest olne is 3 hours away.
