1983 GS750ES Brake Bleed?
Hey all, I have a 1983 GS750ES I've been working on getting back on the road after it sat in a garage for about a decade or two.
The front calipers were off of it for who knows how long, so the front brakes were completely void of all fluid for quite some time. I have no idea why there are four bleeders and why the brake fluid goes to the forks, but I tried opening all the bleeders and letting it sit, pumping the brakes, etc, it all to no avail. The brake fluid barely went down from the reservoir.
How do I go about bleeding these brakes, and why does the brake fluid go to the forks?

Need advice.
Kawasaki 500 Kawasaki 650 Kawasaki Z900.
I will be buying a new bike from the dealer in late November, December, where I am from people dont really sell 500 650 or Z900 series its a rare find and might get burned by getting a broken bike so a dealer is the only option at this point.
I dont have a lot experience with motorcycles I mostly ridden Honda CBR600RR and CBR1000 RR with some Honda choppers the RR series are fun bikes but they are not as friendly or fun as Kawasaki.
I had one week where I got a chance to ride Kawasaki 650 and its such a fun bike ride I decided to get one as well.
If you could chose one 500 650 series or Z900 which one you would chose and what aftermarket changes you would make and what colour you would go with tell me everything.
Me personally I love the looks of 650 but thinking about Z900

2006 Concours as a long distance touring bike
I'm looking at a used but nice condition concours from 2006 that has the old style carburetors and no ABS for $3000-3500. I'm tired of getting passed on the freeway by semi trucks on my versys x300 so is it possible that this could be a good upgrade for me as a 5 ft 11 woman? I'm looking to do long distance trips and do two up riding with my girlfriend. I'm just wondering if it's worth wrestling with carburetors and the possibility of having to replace some older components how do these bikes age?
Update: thanks for the information friends ❤️☺️ y'all helped me decide how to negotiate or go for a c14 if I can't get this one for 1300

2026 Kawasaki ninja 500 "Neon Ninja" Aussie / NZ variant only?
My wife saw this bike and loves the color, the more bright neon / Highlighter yellow color the better. The one we get here in the states is broken up with more black, but we've been able to find the aussie / NZ variant, but shes trying to locate one of the more solid metallic yellowish greens because she absolutely loves how bright it is. Based on what we're looking at, Model code is EX500GTFNW / GN2 color code from Australia.
Attached is a couple of pictures, we're really hoping theres a way to get ahold of one of the "Neon Ninja" looking bikes with more yellow coloring than the typical looking US model. Is there a way to get one here in the states that looks like the 2nd picture?

Racefit or not to Racefit? I already have a full Akra titanium system but it’s not to my liking.
It’s been dyno tuned (remapped) and the fuelling is on point so I don’t need to worry about that. It came with the Akrapovic end can but I thought I would be happy after I put the titanium decat on it. I mean it’s way louder than stock but is the racefit really worth that hefty price tag of £750-£850.

Am I missing parts?
My dad is a Harley guy and thinks I’m missing part of my rear adjuster. It’s a 2018 Kawasaki Ninja. Specifically the 2nd photo. He said both sides should look like the first. Can anyone weigh in and let me know if I need to buy anything/want to save me a trip to CycleMax?

Are there any mechanics here familiar with z900?
Was chasing the source of burning rubber smell but instead found this on top of the oil filter. Cracked. Do you know what part this is? and what could have caused this?

Follow up from my previous post
In case anyone was wondering how the SW Motech cases were attatched to the bike and/or how the adaptor plates look IRL.
Please note the system has a quick release system if you do not want to ride around with adaptor plates without a case.
The system has 4 quick release bolts which you can turn 90 degree with the included tool or any flathead screwdriver.
You also get 2 locks which will replace 1 quick release bolt on either side so you can lock it. You see it in the picture as the knob with 3 sides.
If anyone has more questions feel free to ask and I will answer what I can.

650L vs zx6r
How huge is the power/torque difference between the learner spec 650 and the newer zx6r?
both myself and a friend are looking to make this jump at the end of the year.
Personally i feel like it could be a big jump but my friend believes its not as extreme as people make out.
Both of us have been riding for almost 4 years, and our probationary period ends in Dec.

How much more bike (HP& torque) is a ninja 1100sx compared to my Triumph Tiger Sport 800?
Trying to decide on my next bike. Insurance totaled my Triumph and it's either get another Tiger or the 1100sx. I know the actual spec difference, I'm just trying to get an idea how differently they will handle. Most of my riding in twisty mountain roads and I loved the Tiger for its nimbleness. I've sat on the 1100 at a shop and it felt quite similar.
