Finally bought a genuine UK ELR this week with 29000 miles complete with Kerker exhaust goes nicely with my Z1R and new Cafe, couple of questions, however there’s bound to be more!!
I need to get a paddock stand can anyone recommend a good quality easy to use stand never had to buy one before?
Also how often do you change the oil and I guess semi synthetic?
And what tyres are recommended, currently has Avon’s fitted
Thanks for all your help

Ah...the australian model.
You'll need quite an odd paddock stand for that one.

Re: Kawasaki ELR
Any paddock stand I have seen and used for standard swingarms are shit . Get one of the scissor type stands and use it on the lower frame rail where the centre stand would go . Take the exhaust off to change the oil and filter . If you want to keep the bike and like mechanical stuff change the oil every 2000 mile and filter every second oil change , if you don't like the bike and want the engine to wear quicker change the oil when you feel like it . I use mineral 10W40 on the older engines and never had any problems , found I was using more oil on semisynthetic .
Fit a zrx swingarm and padockstands are easy , take the rear shocks off and wrap them up for when you come to sell the bike as they are only any good for looking standard . Fit a Dyna 2000 ignition system and again keep all the standard bits for sale time . Avon tyres are all I use . Get an 18" wheel from an 1100R .
Use it and abuse it , the red line is there to show you when to change up a gear .

Re: Kawasaki ELR
if it's a keeper, arm yourself with a genuine factory manual (i maybe able to help..) as fer said, an 18 inch front is a good move, but imho looks kinda shit unless you have an 18" mudguard too n they are just not available anywhere, last time i looked. ride it n enjoy it. m
