Bandit electrical problem

I have a 1998 Bandit with 80K miles. On a recent trip of 160 miles, the bike started and ran fine as usual. The weather was warm and sunny. At the last gas stop before our destination, when I turned on the ignition switch to start the bike, only the green neutral light and red oil pressure light on the dash came on. Everything else electrical on the bike was totally dead and of course the bike would not start. The main fuse was OK, the kill switch was off. The battery was not dead and...

2006 Ninja 560r Having what I think is a fuel issue

2006 Ninja 650R. I was riding to work the other day running about 75mph and all the sudden lost power (about half power) I got to where I could pull over and as I slowed down the bike lost all power and the engine cut off. Towed home and started googling problems… replaced the fuel pump and fresh gas today but when I tried to start it only started for a few seconds and then nothing it just cranks but never fires off. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Myths about 180 Rear Tires

Hello everybody. Hercockulees here, have something I wanted to share with everyone. 1st. Yes a 180/55/17- 180/50/17 will absolutely work perfectly fine with your 4.5 inch stock wheel. You you do not need some 636 conversion kit, I literally lol every time I read that. It’s not going to rub anything, and most importantly, you will lose zero acceleration or zero top speed that is noticeable to anyone unless you’re trying to shave tenths of a second off at the track, and top speed, still...

Couple of questions

It took me about a month to get my bike back onto the road after my little accident. Found a new passion for working on this bike and learning everything I can. Recently discovered some new problems and was hoping to get some help (pictures down below). 1. How do I get the air intake boots back into place? When I went to go check out the carbs I noticed 1/4 boots were actually fully over the carb. I've gotten down to the airbox and played around to see if... Couple of questions

What can i do

I bought a 2022 ninja 650 with 2000 miles on it. The young man who sold it to me had me convinced he had a loan on the bike that he just paid off and was waiting for them to send the title. So I paid cash for the bike with only a bill of sale. Well find out he never paid it off and the bike is in collections. Can not get a title. Called the bank and the collections company and they will not tell me what he owes. It's been 8 months since then and they are defusing to pick up the bike. What... What can i do
