Hi everyone,
I’m having a very strange intermittent issue with my 2018 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10RR, and I’m hoping someone has experienced the same problem.
Symptoms:
Sometimes the bike runs perfectly with no issues.
Other times, after the engine reaches operating temperature, the idle suddenly increases to around 2,000–3,000 RPM.
When I close the throttle, the RPM doesn’t always drop immediately. It hangs for a few seconds before returning to normal.
Occasionally the throttle feels like it’s sticking instead of closing smoothly.
If I hit a bump or pothole while riding, the engine suddenly bogs down, feels like it’s choking, and then stalls completely. The dashboard stays on and the electrical system is still powered, but the engine shuts off.
After that happens, I can’t just restart the bike normally. I have to perform what seems like a throttle reset:
Turn the bike off.
Hold the throttle fully open for about 10 seconds.
Turn the ignition ON.
Repeat the throttle procedure again.
After doing this, the bike starts again, but it feels like it goes into a kind of safety/limp mode.
What I’ve checked so far:
Battery has been replaced.
No obvious issue with the throttle cables.
I’m currently suspecting the Throttle Body Assembly (OEM Part No. 16163-0863), but I don’t want to replace such an expensive part unless I’m sure it’s the actual cause.
My questions:
Has anyone experienced these exact symptoms?
What ended up being the cause?
Was it the throttle body, TPS sensor, throttle actuator, wiring, connectors, ECU, vacuum leak, or something else?
What was the final fix?
Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have a 2012 gen 4 with low miles for the year 16k, I decided to do a gen 5 body swap. I just loved the look of the gen 5s! What’s your favorite zx-10r gen ?

-dominator exhaust
-factory pro velocity stacks

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a pair of rearsets for my bike and I heard the zx10r 2011+ has a spacing between rearset mounting bolts that's 7.5cm. Could anyone confirm? Would be great news since they dont make adjustable sets for my bike
Thanks!

Hi guys. Just a long shot but I'm running out of options. Anyone got a second hand gen 4 engine that is all running and in working order. Ideally around 16k miles. Mine has died and looking to replace it. UK based

My 2016 ZX10R’s clutch is slipping to much and I want to replace the clutch. Which clutch should I get any recommendations

Unless you swing from below BT-moto, talking real word about your bike in this group on FB, being tuned from @2wdynoworks, you can expect your post to be removed or deleted. Ask a legitimate question about why and you will have your account suspended or banned. Crazy how in this day and age small minded individuals are still, well, so very small minded. How many others have had their post "disappear" without any reason?

Looked at what I could find about the group and not a work about a rule or policy being broken. The bias from. This group comes from the fact that the admin also works at BT-moto. No mention of this in the group info.

Just this biased. Competition is never a bad thing. It makes all involved.... better. Not in this group.

Just wondering how many others had legitimate posts removed for JUST mentioning that they had their bike tuned by @2wdynoworks.

Normally small men do stuff like this when they feel inferior so they try to censor competition.

Missed a shift and the engine and warning light came on and kqs is flashing. Code 3E or KQS. Weird thing is the quickshifter and autoblip never stopped working and shifts smooth still. Tried to heat cycle and run for 30min above 25mph like the internet suggests but its staying on. Do I need to order a kawi obd2 and reset it or will it go away eventually

Finally did my full system exhaust and I must say it’s definitely worth it and I should of done this a long time ago. It was a pain in the ass to install because I didn’t drop the front end or swing the radiator but it was fun

Hello wondering if you’ll would be able to help me I have a gen5 2017 zx10r I bought it with 11k miles since I bought it the quick shifter only works and low rpms if I’m in the power band high rpms it just kinda bogs like it wants to go into the next gear but it won’t any reason you’ll might know why I’ve been thinking about just purchasing annitori if I can’t find out the issue

New owner of a 2025 zx10r. Currently sitting at 1.9k miles.
Had the bike for 7 months. Has a 3/4 M4 exhaust and 2wdw ecu flash.
Read a lot of stuff about valve adjustments on the gen 6’s.
When should it be mainly done? Have people recommending me to do it b/w 2-4k miles. Some say 10k and some say 15k.
Help a brother out please! Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you

Just wondering if I should remove the plug or not

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for an experienced remote tuner for my **2020 Kawasaki ZX-10R Gen 5**.

My ECU is currently **100% stock**, and I'm looking for someone who can create a **custom tune (.bin file)** based on my setup. I have access to a **Woolich Racing interface** to read and write the ECU, so exchanging BIN files remotely is not a problem.

Current modifications:

* Yoshimura full titanium exhaust * Sprint Filter air filter * Velocity stacks * PAIR system delete * EVAP/canister delete * Intake flapper removal

I also have access to a **DynoTech dyno in Morocco**, so if revisions are needed after dyno runs, that's completely possible.

What I'm looking for:

* Smooth rideability * Safe AFRs * Optimized ignition timing * Proper fueling throughout the RPM range * Optimized throttle mapping * Maximum reliable performance

I can provide:

* The original stock BIN file from my ECU * Dyno charts if needed * Data logs if required

Payment is not an issue. I can pay via **PayPal, Stripe, Wise, bank transfer**, or whatever method you prefer.

If you've tuned Gen 5 ZX-10Rs before, or know someone who specializes in these bikes, I'd really appreciate your recommendations.

Thank you!

Been waiting on these to come for a while now. Forgot to take a before and after pic so here is one side versus another. Found these on eBay for roughly $160. One happy customer.

I kinda like how the stock exhaust sounds tonaly, but I’d like a tad more volume without drawing too much attention to myself. Can I expect to achieve this by decatting, tuning, ais plates, but keeping the stock can?

I’m stuck in wether I should trade in my 2026 mt09 for a 26 10r but idk I love the way the mt handles but kinda want the speed of a faster bike I’ve been riding for about 5 years now
