I had a galaxy silver A1 about 12 years ago. I sold it because i needed the money and honestly it was the worst thing ive ever done. I have a 09 zx14 now but my love for it just isnt the same. I really miss my old 12r, i spent thousands on it, all the fruit. Ride safe brother 👍
Mine was my dad's so I'll never get rid of it but he has a zx14 right now, I'm gonna ride it this summer and hopefully I can do a video on it. Thanks for watching, ride safe.
I have candy lime green paint A2 with 4900 miles.. and I did similar last week. I removed the entire fairing..it’s a bike that likes to fight you..& the plastic screws are a PITA! The upper fairing was the easiest. 2 screws, remove mirrors, unclip the lights loom/multi plug, done. I ordered and have now fitted Chinese lime green full fairing set. I have bubble wrapped and stored all the oem plastics to protect them as they are all unmarked. I now won’t worry about the after market stuff. 🤓 I also bought spare front & rear wheels, and painted them myself lime green…and they have turned out pretty good. The oem wheels are black, and I didn’t want to paint them to match the after market fairing set. I will say, I am pleasantly surprised by the quality and fitment of the (MFS) Chinese fairings. Well painted and lacquered. Apologies for my ramblings. I have a few other bikes, but still love working on and riding the mighty ZX12R 💚👊🏼
Well this is my first bike and it's fairly easy to work on just time consuming, kinda wish I liked cafe racer bikes more so I didn't have to deal with the fairing but I like sports bikes. Maybe one day I'll buy something easier but this was my dad's bike, it's a forever bike. Thank you for watching!
I'm glad it helped you, soon I'll be doing a video on just the gasket, gotta make sure you replace the bolt seals and put sealer on the corners of the holes on the side of the block. Thank you for watching!
@@tunedspec1740 what did you mess up on? I ordered cover gasket and the bolt gromets so hopefully it works out bike has 18k on it and he said dealer did a cam chain tensioner on it so I'm thinking they screwed up putting the gasket on
Thank you, what type of content would you like to see? In spring time I'll be doing stator replacement video and a cruise video. I live in New Jersey, it's cold.❄️🥶
Good work! I need to replace my gasket...How did the plastic cover come off the top of the engine? Was it bolted on? Looks like you removed something in the middle first and put it in your bowl below
@@tunedspec1740 love your taste in bike.. can't say the same on soundtrack.. good effort with the video but shame you didn't give narration instead music
FYI Soaking of insulating tape Efficient winding requires providing the tape with a long bath (it can be even all night), so that it becomes softer, more flexible, more stretchy, and at the same time it can not slip. Good things take time! Wet wrapping is associated with a terrible fern. Wet tape can stain strongly. Therefore, wear gloves and work clothes. It is also possible to wind the tape dry, but if the wet tape later during drying starts to shrink and tight around the collector, you will longer enjoy the work done by yourself.
The heat coming from the exhaust is too much so I figured I would do all I can to combate the heat. Plus it looks better black. Thank you for watching!
2002 zx12r here ...WOW?? MY FRONT FAIRING JUST CRACKED EXACTLY LIKE YOURS DID on left side ?? WTF HOW. DID YOU CRACK YOURS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I CRACKED MINE I THOUGHT MY NEIGHBORS VANDALIZE IT .. BIKE LOOKS BADASS IN BLUE
Yes it does! Thank you. The fairing was a cheap aftermarket and it was very thin and weak so after a couple thousand miles it just cracked. I recommend going OEM next time. Please subscribe!
Auctmarts fairing but I dont recommended. Try OEM. If in a rush or too expensive then go Auctmarts but watch the last portion of the video, I try to give a brief review of the fairing. Thank you for watching, please like and subscribe!
Well, the tank protectors for the zx12r look horrible and I bought the zx10r with no writings and these showed up. They look good but I don't like that it says zx10r.
Top of the cam cover has the Kleen air plates, tubes etc. All of this can be removed and replaced with two flat covers. Will need a plug for the frame/air box when the hose is pulled out.; send me your email and I can send you some pics

@@tunedspec1740 definitely keep her man, would love to see some video's on the 14 too 👌
I'll probably do a review video on the 14 and maybe some cruising.
Great video, chief! Really appreciated your close out summary. Ride on!
Thank you for your support, good to know you like it. Thank you for watching!
I like the idea of the wrap on the headers i think I’m gonna do that as well 🏁👍🏻
It helped with the heat you feel on your knees while riding.

@@tunedspec1740Thats a hella first bike. 👍
Yes it is! It's a handful but fun.
Still a relevant bike even by today's performance standards😮
Yes it is, really fun bike.
Facts I have an 03 and I'm out here fucking up 2022 and 2023 bikes, they are stock with slip on's my twelve is crazy with that top end
I don't race mine often but I know they're really fast.
I needed this video. My gasket got my bike smoking like Joe Frazier!

@@tunedspec1740 getting ready to do a valve cover gasket as well on a 2000 I just picked up definitely a common problem on them
Yep, looking forward to doing it right this time so I can enjoy the bike. Thank you for watching!!

I didn't know about the grommets and forgot to put sealer.
Nice bike more zx12 vids plese

I didn't remove any bolt off the top of the engine, it was already loose when I got it without any bolts. Thanks for watching, please subscribe!

Good to know, I dont think I needed to do that this time. Thank you for watching!
What bolts are you using to hold up the middle part of the fairing ? Before adding all the small button head bolts
Look me up on Instagram or Facebook and show me exactly what bolts.

Beautiful bike.
Yes it is
Thank you for watching!
hello, in mine the fuel marker only marks a point even with a full tank. What can it be
I would start by looking into the fuel level sensor. Maybe it got stock. Thank you for watching the video!
i am new to this, why paint and wrap the exhaust? I have a 12r aswell.
The heat coming from the exhaust is too much so I figured I would do all I can to combate the heat. Plus it looks better black. Thank you for watching!
You got a link for those mirrors and marker lights?

where did you find it for the turn signal light in the front because it fits normally
My the front side turn signals my dad installed them so IDK where to get them.
Where did you buy these side pads on the tank? And how much oil did you put in? I have same bike. Only love
The knee pads or the ninja sticker?
and it took 3 quarts of oil
@@tunedspec1740 both and thank you

Remove the clean air and replace with block off plates
What do you mean?

Auctmarts fairing but I dont recommended. Try OEM. If in a rush or too expensive then go Auctmarts but watch the last portion of the video, I try to give a brief review of the fairing. Thank you for watching, please like and subscribe!
Monster Fairings make good replacement fairings. They would probably be your best option, unless you can afford genuine Kawasaki parts!
I'll keep that in mind next time I need a fairing. Thanks
how do i replace the zx12r pullpump
Pullpump?
Where did you get the mirrors? Price?

What year is this bike?
2002 Kawasaki Ninja ZX12R, thank you for watching!
Thanks going to be looking at 2000 for sale tomorrow. Wish me luck 🤞
Check the valve cover for leaks (it leaks) and the voltage regulator (it gets hot), good luck!
@@tunedspec1740 thanks new to this bike. I appreciate the heads up! 🤞
@toorealworld look me up up Instagram or tiktok, send me a picture it you get it.
This was only a ten minute video not 37 minutes of content
I know, I was still learning how to edit and minimize content. Still working on it but I see what you mean. Thank you for watching!
