vaalbara Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Hi all,I finally bought a Kawasaki ER5 after having my previous one stolen. Although it rides fine, it needs a good check all around as it has been idle for some time. What should I look for, apart from the obvious (oil, filters, plugs)? I'd appreciate your thoughts about it.ThanksValbaara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fro Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I'd stick in a brake fluid change if you're looking at the brakes and the condition of the fork tubes for pitting or rust.Haynes manuals have a useful bit at the beginning about things to check and what clearances and such should be.

Chrissb6 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi, l wouĺd suggest a complete fluid change, engine oil, coolant and brake fluid. A full check up and re grease of bearings and pivet points. Tyres brakes and drive train should come under routine maintenance anyway. Lube up and protect all switches and electrical connections.
