I'm over Aberdeen area,

Sounds good...I'm in!!!!

Most jap bikes have timing chains.

I have a ducati 999 as well as my Gtr, the ducati has 2 timing belts. Change every 2 years to be safe. Your gtr........ Don't worry, it'll run forever!

Nice one!!!, may invest......

Wow! Great response from you all. Thanks, gives me something to consider and check out before the dealer gets it back!

Will let you know how I get on!

Yep, sounds buggered! Coolant has been changed and also thermostat....not sure where to go next?

Could be the coolant radiator cap? Heard these can get rusty and don't act as a relief valve very well.

Looking at the vehicle schematic online, there is also an electronic temperature sensor. These are the only other things it could be??????

Mine still goes to the top and fans run like crazy in traffic though, occasionally still get the dashboard clearing and a big "temp high" coming on! Is that normal?

Hi all,

I have an aftermarket screen which made riding bearable in strong wind, however I hated the way it made the bike look, so put the original screen back on.....much better!!

However!!!!! I get a lot of wind/buffeting noise,mo matter where the screen is moved to.

Any good aftermarket (or Kawasaki) "lips" or "attachments" that can calm this down?

Cheers guys

Right guys, I've owned this great bike for a few months now, it's a 2009 A9F and has only 10k on it!!!

Anyway, I picked it up from a dealer and rode it 50 miles home. Bike ran fine, temperature showed 2 bars until I hit traffic. After only 2 mins the temp was at the top and the fans were running like crazy. The dashboard then kept flashing high temp. I shut the bike down, let it cool but it never really recovered and I rode the last 30 miles homes (dual carriageway) with the temp at 3/4 and fans running.

Took it back to dealer, they changed the coolant and thermostat. This has made it better, however,I still overheat in traffic after only a couple of minutes. Any ideas?  I know there is a temperature sensor as well, but what else could cause this.

Do these bikes run hot????

This is my third Kawasaki and I've never had anything like this before. Sat in traffic for ages with not so much as a fan come on in the past!!!! Help, it's getting on my tits!!!!!!!!!

Cheers all,  I only have one issue with it, which I'll put on the appropriate page - overheats!

Hi all, had my GTR for three months now - great!
