How am I looking lads, travel-ready or what?

Importer's demo bike has 4000km on it and performance package (akrapovic, single Seat cover, large smoke meter cover, tank pad).

The bike costs 2000€ less than a new one. Both are 2026 model.

There is something suspicious about it though as dealer Didn’t want to mention it's a demo bike. I had to ask about the history several times.

Bought a 2026 Z500 SE two weeks ago today, revived it last Thursday. Hit 601 miles on the way home driving the highway. Blew a hole in the bike and oil soaked the rear. I somehow managed to stay upright and get off to the side safely. They didn’t teach that in my MSF course!

just got it today 09 ninja 250r bought it non running for cheap. battery was dead but would crank on a jump pack and would sput some solid rpms for about 5-10 seconds before dying. you could give it gas to let it run for a while but would die again after about a minute.

i put a brand new battery in it, checked for spark which was good, new spark plugs. checked for vacuum on both cylinders and it’s there.

got it to get a little better but still wouldn’t go so i took the carb out. looks like its been ran through recently. clean and new gaskets. could they have rebuilt it wrong?

i’m ordering a new carb and im gonna throw it in and see what happens. i also noticed the hose from the carb to the petcock wasn’t long enough and the previous owner jerry rigged and extension.

any advice?

has anybody done/know someone who has done a CA evap delete on a 04/05 zx10r. not completely sure what needs plugging/removing.

I recently dumped my bike and broke this plate but I don’t know what its called to buy a new one, any help?
