New battery and fresh tank of fuel ? I had a Versys 650 … it was my first adventure style bike and was faultless. I rode it with a group of mates on a trip to the Mohne Dam in Germany [Dambusters). The weather on the return journey was hideous non stop heavy rain but the Versys didn’t miss a beat. Enjoy the opportunity you have. 👍

[@bikerofatlantis]

[@brogie343]

I've got one from the same year and mine was stood for 8 years in my garage. They are absolutely solid engines and it will be completely fine. You will need to do some standard jobs like changing all fluids in it, oil/brake fluid/coolant etc. easy enough to learn how to do yourself. Next thing to learn will be replacing spark plugs and brake maintenance. Every engine has quirks and the one you want to look out for on this is the water pump, it's a little bit over engineered on this and can go wrong in many different ways, if it's sat for a long time the ceramic bearing that seals the water impeller can go bad and when you get the bike going the seal can fail. Easy enough to fix yourself with some reading of the service manual and £40 in parts. Just get some new fuel in it and it I reckon it will go. Work from there.

[@bikerofatlantis]

This is brilliant to read and very much appreciated, thank you 👍

[@brogie343]

@@bikerofatlantis forgot to say, the way you know it's gone wrong is there will be a slow drip of antifreeze from the weephole on the bottom of the water pump, wipe it with paper towel and if it's coloured red you know it needs sorting. When you swap the coolant out use some coolant flush before putting the new one in, should clear out anything that's crystallised inside whilst being sat in a garage. Give us a ping if you start pulling your hair out over it. The versys is a great bike, I use mine to go camping and fishing and it's great.

[@tonytasker489]

I've got a black versys aswell. Mines an 07 plate & they're virtually bulletproof. The only niggle I have is the fairings around the tank rattle & squeak like crazy. I'd put fresh fuel, oil & coolant in, charge the battery & I reckon you're away.

[@bikerofatlantis]

Amazing aye. I was jealous when you got the Royal Enfield, now your man Simon has given you another bike I nearly bought a few years ago. Two years ago my Honda Hornet 600 was stolen from outside my house and I haven't able to afford to replace it. The bike was 20 years old so was worth hardly anything and as usual, the insurance I had stitched me up big time. It would be smashing if someone offered me a free bike too. I can wish, lol......

[@swoop1352]

Right then. Kawasaki ownership: Hello, I'm Swoop, you may have read comments from me previously, I'm a Kawasaki nut who started out on an AR80, been through a ZXR400, ZX-6R, ZX-10R, Z1000SX and a current (newer) 1000SX. I'll say from the start, the full company name is Kawasaki Heavy Engineering. It's a very apt name. Every Kwack I've ever ridden you can turn on the brakes. Every other bike I've ever ridden, you even think of touching the brakes mid corner you're going through the hedge. The versys might be a bit different as it's the opposite of a sporty riding position but I can't imagine Kawasaki haven't given it their usual laser guided front end. However, the rear shock isn't broken, they're all hard at the back. A journalist in MCN described my ZXR400 as "like being attacked by a trainee mugger specialising in liver and kidneys". Servos go first, most probably the exhaust valve servo. Don't worry about that one, just jam the valve in the full open position and forget about it. The second most common non consumable, but seemingly consumable, thing to go will be the radiator. Kawasaki radiators aren't the strongest on the planet. Neither are the fuel filler caps, they start to leak after a while which isn't a problem unless stored outside in the rain. However, once water has gotten in you won't know it until the inside of the tank has gone rusty and taken your fuel pump with it.

[@bikerofatlantis]

Thanks very much for that, all of this is good to know and I'll use it for reference as to what to watch out for.

[@swoop1352]

@bikerofatlantis Oh yeah P.S. Yours not starting.....yep, could be fuel thats gone bad. Could also be fuel pump seized up. I hope this is a silly question but you have checked that the fuel tap isn't turned off, right?

Hi, I had the versys 1000 and flopped like Simon at ilkley moor car park, embarrassing or what. They’re a great bike but was too tall for me. I px ed it for my now Yamaha tracer 900 gt a bit lighter and lowered suspension. Your versys is a fantastic gift and you will enjoy it so much. Phil.

Grats on the new addition Andy. Just want to say that I reckon folks need to stop pressuring Clare into riding as well. I'm sure folks mean well but if Clare wanted she's had everÿ opportunity to take up biking herself. Her support of your interest is wonderful but from where I sit Clare doesn't have the bug herself. Yet every single video has comments that talk about Clare taking it up as well. So folks, she will if she wants to, for herself. I just think that it is not cool that she faces so much pressure from this community. I might be way out of line, there may not be an issue but i think it worth pointing out and maybe people could lay off the "getting Clare riding too" deal which seems repeated in the comments of most videos.

So autumn last year I bumped into him and he asked if I wanted his bike so as you do i asked how much?

The VFR is sat on the optimiser in the garage along with the other bikes, its still on the original tyres so they need replacing not safe to ride on 24 year old tyres but i will get it on the road in the summer it did have a big re commission service two years ago so probably two tyres and fresh oil and filter although its not been riden since the service.

Eek. I hired a Kawasaki Versys last December while on holiday in Cyprus. I couldn't wait to hand it back after the 3 days I'd hired it for. It was very comfortable, but I found that you need an inordinate amount of counter steer to haul its fat ass around corners, especially roundabouts. I wasn't impressed at all. Sorry.
