I bought a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja 650 with only 200 miles on it (previous owner barely rode it, wife hated it, etc.) So I've been vlogging my progress restoring it using only premium parts, to maybe make it as good or even better than new. Here are the first three videos in my series, for any Ninja 650 nerds like me who love watching this sort of thing:

Episode 1 - Buying the bike (basically the intro to the bike and what the series will be all about):

Episode 2 - Getting the bike to turn on (hint: it took a little more than just a new battery):

Episode 3 - Emptying the gas tank and putting fresh gas in there:

Next will be how to do an oil change on the Ninja 650, as well as how to flush the coolant, and might even do a video on brake lines (but had some camera issues that day so... we'll see).

If you guys have any questions or want to know more or see something in particular plz leave a comment!

 

Nice score!

 

Thanks! Funny timing, I actually only got around to posting the 4th video in the series today, but it's here:


It's about how to do an oil on the Ninja 650. I know there are a lot of videos out there showing people how to do an oil change on this bike, but the few I did check out seemed super vague, either missing information on the type of oil and filter, or missing information on what torque specs to use (most weren't using a torque wrench at all now that I think about it)... Anyway, I wanted to do my own quick giving everyone as much detail as needed to do the oil change as a dealer would. I also did a write up / text-based full article with some pics here: https://www.youmotorcycle.com/how-to...il-change.html (for those who prefer reading and looking at pictures to watching a video)

Cheers guys!

 

Will definitely watch it!
