Hey Ladies
Hi & Welcome!! I'm actually right over here in Yuma! About 2 1/3 hours or so from you..
I've owned an '09 EX500! I loved it. In fact, I've been on a Vulcan 900 Classic for the last 9 months or so, but I'm buying another EX this Saturday from a guy in Bullhead City.
Again, welcome & while you'll find that the majority of posters here are, WAY OVER THERE! More of us are accumulating in the West each day
Welcome to the forum! I rode dirt bikes MANY, MANY years ago. But, a couple years ago when my boyfriend got a street back, I rode on the back, for about 3 days...I knew at that point I had to have my own! You will love street riding...Where about are you?
Again welcome & don't forget to post pics of any bikes you're on! We like pics..
Hey everyone!
My name is Ada, and honestly, I've never ridden a bike before, but I'm purchasing a Kawasaki Ninja of some sort soon and have signed up here to hopefully educate myself beforehand. Everyone has been telling forever that I shouldn't get a bike/I dont need a bike, and I'm finally just to the point to where I'm going to do it anyways. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
You will love riding!! Don't wait another minute to take the MSF course in your area. Once you buy a bike, take it slow. I rode in the large parking lot at our Civic Center for a long time. Then I moved to back roads....Don't put yourself in a situation where you are outta your league for awhile.
But, most importantly RIDE! I've wanted to ride my entire life. Everyone kept talking me out of it...Wait for kids to grow up, wait for this, wait for that....I REGRET IT!
Riding is amazing!! I suggest for MOST women the Ninja 250R or the EX500 (Ninja 500R). They are very similar, and I could have started out on either one.
Have fun, keep us posted & when you get a bike, show her off here!

Hey girls, Good to see a healthy number of women on here. I'm Gemma and I just bought a VN1700 to haul my large boyfriend around. Thought I'd join a kwak forum and see whats happening. I am starting to realise most of the people here are American but hey...
Hi Gemma ! um... welcome.... and I have to ask... is your boyfriend Captain Archer by any chance?????
Wow!!! This is so Cool!!!!
Hello everyone. my name is Angie, and i just bought my first bike.
Ninja Kawasaki 2007 250r It's a big achievment for me becasue I have always
dreamed of having one. Never riden in my life though, so any information

getting one, I mean I know how dangerous it is, but I'm more excited then ever.
I think it's great how you guys created this forum, and I'm honored to be apart. =)

Hi Angie, Welcome!! Best advise from me to you is take it easy...Meaning, don't get in over your head too quickly. I took the MSF course & rode on alot of BACKROADS before I really ventured out on busy streets! Get comfy first...AND ENJOY
Ride like they don't see you, because they're probably texting, eating or putting on make-up!!
Post some pics of your bike & come here often for advice
I wish. hehee.

Welcome Ladies.
Hey all! I'm Alina. I've more experience repairing bikes than riding them (complete rebuild of everything, sigh). Came to download a wiring schematic, stayed for all the great info. Taking the MSF and getting my license soon, plus I'm about 85% done restoring my '78 KL 250.

Thanks!!!
Definetly starting off small!!
I did have a question... I just refilled my oil tank but there was no change in the oil level on the glass window??? did I do something wrong??:confused
Errr... did you do an oil change? I mean you drained it before you refilled it? And when there was no oil in the bike there was still oil in a sightglass? IF so the tubes feeding the sightglass could be plugged if it is exterior. If it is integral to the side of the oil pan then that is harder to understand. If you shift the bike over to the sidestand does the level change? IF it doesnt change, that would say the indicator is faulty.....
more info ?
Do you have a dipstick to pull and check for level? or only this window ?

Yes, I did drain it before adding the new oil. Sight glass emptied as well, but now that I refilled with oil sightglass is still empty. Even if the bike is slanted you can't see the oil move. Thanks for your help by the way.

welcome....
couple of possibilities...
first perhaps you did not get enough oil replaced and so it isnt showing. Is there a dipstick?
Second, the oil is being held somewhere other than the oil pan... on my bike, you cannot get an oil level (dipstick) unless you shut the engine down without twisting the throttle unnecessarily. That puts oil somewhere else and it doesnt drain down.
Third possibility is that you have overfilled it. The new oil is clean and clear enough that it appears nothing is there, but it is.
How many quarts did you take out? And how many did you put in ? ( do you have a manual to tell you what it takes ?? )
I have to think you have a dipstick on this bike...yes?
answer these questions and then we will talk about what to do next...
