Kawasaki NINJA 650R User's Manual And Installation Instructions - page 11
11. Reassembly
Reassemble the cowling in the reverse order of disassembly.
Use caution when tightening inner panel screws and headlight bolts. The cowling brackets are
thin and can break easily.
Do not over-tighten phillips or hex head bolts, insert screws gently as the captured nuts are
rubber mounted and can push through requiring disassembly to refit.
The rubber mounted captured nuts can turn this sometimes makes screw starting difficult, gently
hold the captured with your fingers until started.
Allow at least a couple of hours to carry out this work.
12. Additional Information
Unfortunately from my experience and a number of other forum members just installing the
Kawasaki Kit has not completely solved the “fairing buzz”. Additional work is required to
completely eliminate the problem.
Following are posts from the forum detailing areas where additional dampers or tape can be
installed. Some members including myself have use weather strip or draught stop which is a
adhesive backed foam tape available from most hardware stores and the loop side of self
adhesive Velcro tape.
As of mid June 2006 there are posts on Kawasaki Ninja 650R / ER-6F Forum
(
http://www.ninja650.com
) indicating that another kit P/N 99999-0097 is available. What this kit is
or consists of is unknown.
It may help to read the posts in reverse, the latest information is at the end.
