I've got a 93 ZX11D and anytime I ride for more than 30 minutes the heat coming out the right side of my bike is UNREAL and practicly cooks my leg and ankle. Is there any fix for this..If not I'm seriously considering selling the bike. I love it, but it's so annoying on longer rides during the day that I don't even enjoy it. At night when it's cooler I don't notice as much, but during the day forget it!.. HELP!!!
zx11 owners help!!!!

I dont think there is a fix. Some bikes are just hot. ask at www.zx-12r.org
I where a pair of SIDI sport boots, never have a problem with the heat from the pipes. This heat dissipation condition is a charactistic of the ZX-11 sport-tourer bike; By wearing boots, the heat dissipation around the lower leg area is never felt. Any sport boots would probably yield the same results as the SIDI boots. Unfortunately due to this ZX-11 characteristic, it is not a bike that can be riden with shorts.

Kawasaki SportbikesJust picked up an 03 Z1000 and every time I turn off the key the clock resets to 1:00 and the trip odometer resets to zero. I've checked the fuses and everything seems fine. Is there some battery backup in the cluster itself that I need to replace, or is there something else I should check?

Kawasaki SportbikesI have a ninja 250, and I noticed that it leaks fuel when it's down. I mentioned this to a dealership and they said that it was normal, but I want a second opinion. It doesn't seem right for a beginner bike to be extra flammable when dropped. I purchased my bike in June...

Kawasaki SportbikesMy daughter has a 96 ninja 250 that we don't know much history about. We bought it in January and have had to put some work into it like adding the airbox because the previous owner removed it. When it is fully warmed up I have the idle set at 2000 RPM's currently. It takes 15 minutes minimum...

Kawasaki SportbikesHi Guys Since I've been driving the ZZR600 E for almost 4 years now, I've thought of upgrading to the ZZR1100 D model from 1993-2001. Particularly only the D model as I've read about the con rod bearing on the 3.rd cylinder on the older models, also some gearbox issues with the 2.nd gear. I'm...
