Kawasaki Er6n

For the first time yesterday I had water in the petrol tank.

What a bummer, so I ran it on tick-over for over an hour and half way through my ride back home it got better again.

Phew, I was thinking all sorts

PTT petrol station on Sukhumvit.

water in petrol or diesel remains in top of the tank, so as long as tank is more than half full it doesnt get to the fuel pump

next time you just drain half the tank with a hose from the upper half, and water is gone without hurting pump and injection:)

Erm other way round no ?? Water is more dense than petrol and sinks to the bottom ??

Hence why fuel taps dont take the tank dry, or drain from the bottom... so some water can sit at the bottom of the tank and not get pulled into the fuel system ??

I was sure water sank anyway..

Going back to the good stuff from Shell from now on.

Sorry beachbum..is impossible for water to float on top of anything else , esp fuels.

Always goes to the bottom because water is heaviest...old talk ....water is about 10lbs per gallon

Petrol is about 7 lbs per gallon

Diesal maybe 8 lbs per gallon

Cant beat physics ... fuels always float on top of water.

Sorry guys, havent drained a tank in a decade:rolleyes:

Water is more heavy than petrol or diesel (fuel approx 85% of waters weight), and goes to the bottom, so draining is done with a hose from the BOTTOM of the tank until only fuel comes out. Be aware many MC have tank separeted in center providing slow flow between the halves, so draining boths sides from the bottom is good.

Arh, under slung mirrors - hmmmmm!

Phuket is only 2 hours from Krabi, would have thought that Krabi also has a Kwaker dealer tho.

There is a kawasaki dealer in Phuket, 250km from Krabi. Parts are ordered from kwaker BKK and takes one or two days to dealer. I suggest you let us on the forum know what you need, and I or someone else can arrange to have it ordered before you arrive Krabi to make sure you get it within your 3 days visit.

TQ for your kind attention,... very much appreciated. I will be leaving for Krabi on the 16th October. TQ very much to all of you. From my experience, I know that Thailanders are very friendly.

A couple in Kawasaki Mitiyon Pattaya on the Sukhumvit road, but not top quality.

I noticed the other day when I went to have a look at some clothing - they have lots more stuff in there now.

However, the tyre huggers etc are still well over priced.

Tony is the man for those bits and pieces.

Waiting for my bonus Tony, then I'll call yer OK?

Theres one for only 180k thats been posted in the classified a couple of times.. Would have thought that would have been snapped up.

Hi there is a Kawasaki dealer in Krabi town tehy have some stuff for the big bikes but it is very limited but they can probably order some stuff for you but will take 3 or 4 days for them to get it in. The other options are Phuket or Surat Thani which are both about a 2 HR ride away.

hi,

i am looking for an exhaust for an er6n 2010,

can anyone here get an leovince gp exhaust??

perhaps i need an powercommander too.

if anyone can get those things, please send me a message with prices, thanks

alex

[LivinLOS]

Post above yours saying which BM has some of those LV cans

[BSJ]

There's no denying the ER6N is a good un, whether standard or race modified. A couple of Sundays ago I was riding the twisties and had great delight passing all the slow old Hardleys. Then a R1 and a Er6N blasted past me.....like I was on a Hardley! My smile disappeared. Oh well, could have been worse, it could have been a Honda CT110!

What's your location? I've got Aluminum and Carbon Fiber TWO BROS cans, sport bars and PCV available. Minburi, Bangkok. Ride On! Tony

[NormanW]

Anyone know if there are any offers on regarding leathers?

I'm in Pattaya - not much choice here.

Black or slime green and black.

Boots as well?

I prefer Alpinestars.

Too much to ask for here or will I have to get a mate to bring some over providing I know my size?

Thanks in advance guys.

Keep those good times rolling.

Yeah it's nice... but... what is this?? A Kawasaki touring wind screen for the ER-6n! Pic from the UK site, with price.

A question for you guys: Today when I stopped my bike after some 2 hours of inspired riding - CM-Pai - I suddenly heard a slurping sound, like lots of water going somewhere. Checked with flashlight, no smell, no liquids coming out anywhere, the bike is clean as new. Sound came from the radiator area and lasted maybe 1 minute or a bit less. Is that normal? Worrying? Just wondering, never heard that before.
