    2013 Ninja 650 ABS - Disapointment!

    2013 Ninja 650 ABS - What a Disappointment! After much research and careful thought, I traded in my 2008 Ninja 500, and pulled the trigger on a brand new 2013 Ninja 650 ABS which I picked up on Saturday. I did approx 200KM's of riding over the weekend, and to my surprise and dismay, the bike...

    Ninja 500 - Battery Advice needed!

    My 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 500's stock battery (non-sealed) does not seem to be holding a charge. Electrolyte levels are ok.
