Managed to borrow the full kit, I can't see factors making one just for the 2015 model when earlier and later ones are different but if anyone knows where I can get one for the future it would be great
The rack will accept a Givi Universal Monokey Adaptor Plate E251 (I now have this as it's a better fit than the M3 I had been using), probably a Kawasaki 99994-0662 Base Plate (I believe they are identical except cosmetically) or a Givi Universal Monolock Adaptor Plate Z113C2.
These need to be secured through the holes in the Shad mount which are accessible after releasing the Shad plastic covers (gently prise off at one end and unclip the other, it's fairly obvious). The 8mm threads can't be used. The E251 and I suspect the others have the necessary hardware, but the rear two bolts may be too long, obstructing the refitting of the Shad plastic covers. Sorry, I can't remember what replacement length I used.
Expected answer. Not to be pedant but where and when kawasaki claimed the ninja 1000sx as a EURO5 machine? I mean, besides uninformed press articles or persons.
Bye the way, given the restrictions, I suspect EURO4 runs less hot than what would be EURO5 and probably with more grunt. and EURO4 will be restricted from circulation maybe in decades...
But, in any case, kawa will be indeed forced to produce an euro5 in 2021... they will change something for sure... most probably the OBDII electronics on board to bring them up to standards...
Oh, and the reason Im doing this is for general maintenance anyway but I have noticed on fast sweeping corners, the bike is starting to wobble a little. I think this is mostly due to the rear shock but considering an upgrade of front and rear.
