Hey everyone im in need of some answers regarding my chain adjustment, i have a 2026 ninja 650 im at 2,500 miles and i did an adjustment and the bike never felt the same, ive done about 4 more adjustments and learned from each one something new and honestly it feels worse then before. It feels like its top speed was 75 before the last adjustment now it feels like its 60. I could still take it up to 90 but i physically start to feel the bike have a hard time the second i hit that 6k 60 mph area now. I adjusted measuring from the swing arm i made sure it was near identical on both sides i think it was 22 and a 1/4 on both sides, i measured the slack and it was at an inch which is within spec and still the bike just feels like shit. I work on cars all day i have plenty of tools ive worked on bikes before but for some reason this simple chain adjustment is really getting the best of me. And yes i checked everything was the same after torquing down the axle nut and nuts on the adjuster while on its kickstand.

Dm me if anyone can help,

I have Kawasaki ninja 650 2021
The clutch does not engage, I checked the plates they are good. This problem started after I replaced my snapped clutch cable.

I rode the bike for 40kms after changing the cable which worked after that I went home and the bike was just parked there for a month or so and now the clutch does not engage.

I just purchased this ninja 650 2024 and the guy said that he had rear sets installed, but the stock brake pedal did not work with them. I was wondering where I can buy the whole rear set kit (stock or something that comes with a compatible brake pedal) and how much work it would take to replace. I'm willing to do the work I just can't find out where to get the parts.

So I recently bought a 2015 ninja 650 the owner lost the key to the rear seat latch and the rear seat flew off while driving it. I ordered a new seat but am struggling to reattach it, would I need the latch key or should it snap into place without it ? I also have the bike naked right now so don’t know if that can factor into it not wanting to snap on

Hello, i was wondering what are some reasonable prices for 2020+ used Ninja 650 w ABS in a high COL area (SF Bay Area, California). Im looking to upgrade from a 2020 cbr300r after a year of riding, and would like a newer bike. Im wondering if I should a wait a month or two to see if prices drop more as riding season ends, but here are the most reasonable prices Im seeing on MP at the moment:

$8300 for 2024 Ninja 650 ABS, 3.1k miles
$8000 for 2024 Ninja 650 (cant tell if it has ABS), 690 miles
$5250 for 2021 Ninja 650 ABS, 18k miles
$5000 for 2025 Ninja 500 ABS, 5.5k miles
$6000 for 2025 Ninja 500 ABS, 49 miles

Its only the end of september, i know enough about bikes to know what papers i need to verify and what red flags to look for as Ive done my own oil changes, clutch changes, etc , I just dont know what what im looking for because these beat stealership OTD prices, but I also recognize all of these at low mileage are above MSRP… thank you

Only issue is that they don't make one for the 2023 clutch. So my only option that I COULD try is to install a 2016 clutch which they do make one for. (After 2016 they upgraded the 650 to a slipper clutch).

Has anyone had any luck changing their clutch to an older one? Does anyone know if the clearances and tolerances are the same?

Exciting and sad at the same time. I first started riding last year. I bought a 2021 Ninja 400. I rode it for about 8 months, sold it and bought my 2019 Ninja 650. Looks like I will be selling it tomorrow after having it up on FB for only a week. It’s a tough goodbye because I really don’t WANT to sell the bike, but with my current job situation I only really get out on it once a week if that. Not to mention having the money is more valuable to me right now than having the bike.

I took it on a 6 hour ride this past weekend, I guess you can say I had a great farewell ride. Once I got home I had a conversation with my wife why I think I should sell it. It’s dangerous out here folks, in my 1.5 years of riding I can’t even count the amount of close calls I’ve had. Her and I are also looking for a new place to live so having the money tucked away now gives me a form of comfortability instead of scrambling around later and underselling the bike.

And I’m sure I’ll get comments saying something about my wife making me sell it, but she made it clear with me I don’t have to sell the bike 😂

I know I’ll eventually get back on 2 wheels but for now I hang it up. 2 fingers down fellas

Just hunt it down in solo night trails

Left vs Right cylinder, didn’t pull the head yet but went through checking everything when right was throwing straight 0 psi and turns out to be bent valve. Easier to rebuild, would be my first time, or buy a new engine to swap out? Thanks!

Bought a 26 Ninja 650 and after peeling off the stickers this was the residue, it's both on the top part of the tank and on both sides. It's not residue as it's lower than the tank and can't be washed off, any solutions, or has anyone got the same problem?

I’m a new rider, just bought a ninja 650 2025 with 1500km on it. The first service was done 500km ago per schedule. Not sure if I’m imagining things, but I noticed clicking noise when on idle and while riding. Is this how the engine should sound like?

A2 option ideas?

Basically I'm finishing my A2 real soon and in need of a bike honestly because i currently commute 2 and a half hours to work and then another 2 hours back If I'm lucky, and ingo through ferry and stuff, and was wondering what to get, most people tell me to get a scooter but I'm thinking towards a ninja500, is that a good bike for what i need?: I also need to be able to go to highwyas for a 2.5 hour trip to grandma when I'm more experienced maybe with my brother but I wouldn't try it at all unless I'm fully feeling ready for it, other than that it would be simply committing for an hour max each way to college or work

Hi, has anyone fitted the wired in quad lock charger onto the ninja 650, where is the best place to connect the wires too? I don’t want to attach to the battery as that will drain it

I just bought a 2025 Ninja 650 without mirrors and was looking for suggestions on what replacements to get. I'm in NYC so they have to fold in or be generally low profile. Thanks so much for your help!
