Kawasaki ER-6f long-term test report - MOTOR GERR

Winter’s at the way – so I’ve handled my Kawasaki ER-6f to a new display screen in a bid to advantage a few more weather safety. And, so far the effects are promising.

The display screen is a double-bubble process from Skidmarx (£54.Ninety five www.Skidmarx.Co.United kingdom) and changed into an absolute breeze to in shape. It’s a easy challenge of undoing four screws, setting out the antique display screen, putting the new one in position and setting the screws returned in. The best aspect to observe is that the translucent nylon washers can be a pain to discover if you drop one at the ground. You’ve been warned.

The Kawasaki’s original display became already quite good, but I’ve located the aftermarket one does a good higher process of deflecting wind far from my chest (the ER’s notably upright riding role method which you don’t want a lot inside the manner of windblast to hold the load off your wrists).

On the subject of wintry weather, I’ve been treating metalwork to Muc-Off bike spray as part of the ordinary cleansing regime. To date the roads haven’t been too salty, however I am eager to preserve the finish in respectable condition.  So far, it’s holding up properly.

The bike, which is now nudging the 4000-mile mark, is a frugal little beast, too. The remaining fill-up noticed the twin go back just over 56mpg. I even have seen higher figures at instances, it relies upon at the type of using I am doing. Keep the revs down and 60mpg plus isn’t out of the query.
