mirror/turn signal/tail lamp （manufactured by Official） |
Round shape mirror： Although a diameter is a little larger, since the
pole portion is short, by the low handle type, its arm is reflected about
1/3, and there is difficulty within a back field of view a little. Right
behind is not visible although slanting back looks good. A field of view
does not become bad by vibration. Turn signal： The aluminum body of Honda CB72 type. Probably, visibility will be satisfactory since a size seldom changes with Normal. Tail lamp： Since I like that the back end of a fender can be seen when it sees from back, a taillight is changed into a Lucas type (product made from FRP). Although it does not understand unless it sees well, a crack goes into FRP. Almost is pleased. |

Steering Bar Continental type (manufactured by Posh) |
I want to improve the my riding position with new bar which is chosen
Continental type, what I like. So steering bar height close to stock genuine
bars, but bar end grip is slanted and It's shape likes swallow's wing,
It makes comfortable to grip the bar for me. It was made from stainless
steel (SUS304) could be expected to protect from rust occasion. Every operation braking, clutch meet, fully steering turn become easier than previous bar. At the mountain carves, I have felt a little loss of grabbing the road at the front wheel, but rear wheel grip feeling is increasing. I could easy move on the bike, weight sifting to rear wheel is effective add the traction at rear wheel. I like this steering bar. One day, I have enjoyed 450km tooling with this bar. It was very comfortable without any stress on my body. |

seat （manufactured by Official） |
Seat quantity is compared normally, and seat height low down about 1-2cm, and A leg becomes easy to reach ground a little. Because of the design was pleased, it exchanged. Gold piping processing of Kawasaki W1 type. Since a fault has a sewing eye, if a rainy day is that water sinks in. Since an adapter must be attached like a lower right photograph, it becomes impossible to use a genuine U character lock. | |
|
iridium spark plug （manufactured by Denso） |
It has equipped with NGK now. Since the way of Denso seemingly suits W650, I want to try the Denso make on next time. The Denso iridium spark plug got from the friend who is working for Denso in the congratulation of HP establishment. I will attach instantly. | |
|
some modification （Kawasaki genuine parts） |
Click on the left picture, KCA(Kawasaki Clean Air) will be shown with the detail. In order to reduce the after firing sound like PANG PANG while you throttling down, So I have changed the parts... It is the parts which those who understand immediately. | |
|
full exhaust system （manufactured by Daytona） |
Each exhaust pipe connected behind the main stand. Although the sound is louder rather than stock exhaust, the riding feel become exiting, the rotation goes up to 8000rpm easy such as become a light flywheel mass engine. Weight is under 10kg. | |
|
Exchanged main jets and slow jets ,and processing jet needle for raise a feeling of acceleration | If an air filter and air box is modified, since fuel-air mixture will
become lean, you have to increase of fuel feeding. The mainjet and pilotjet
are raising jet-number. The jet needles are supplied from Dynojet which are adjustable fuel feeding by clip adjusting. It is selling 85.65 dollars. I have not tried it yet. |
|
| a parts in the air box | This parts has been removed in order to improve the air stream, and obstruction wall also removed by electrical hot knife. And I cut the hair of air filter. Those processing could be smoothly air stream. | ||
|
Reflector | I make a reflector adapter by myself and assemble it. | |
|
Stainless mesh brake hose (Earl's brake hose) |
Due to improve the braking touch, the hose was exchanged to stainless mesh tube. The feeling become hard and strong. | |
|
Modification of stock needle 0.5mm shorter than NAZN |
Once I used the stock needle NAZN with 0.5mm shim, I try to sharpen the NAZN 0.5mm shorter than stock condition will be resulted same effect with shim using. I did it well, riding feel is good as well as shim using. | |
|
Holts RUST COAT | After rain riding or washing the W650, I always polished lining of fender
by wax. I expect that this work protect the fender from rust occasion,
and release from polishing it many time. If Kawasaki finish the fender lining with more thick chrome, those coating is needless work. |
|
|
Stainless Spoke | When I rode the W3(650RS), have changed to stainless spokes. Stainless
spokes are easy wipe off the dust, can avoid rust occasion. Now this time
I have bought stainless spoke from Meisei Kawasaki in Japan. I have no spoke assembly tools, After considering deeply I got idea use couple of chair and ruler such as left photo. My wife makes me a strange face, and she said that do not bring the motorcycle parts in the living room. I replied, it will be finish a moment. I could adjust the rim dancing within 1mm, it takes 30 minutes(a moment) per each wheel. |
