  • flush kit for 2003 STXR

    Where can i get a flush kit for a 2003 STXR? I got one from the dealer when i bought it, but when i tried to put it on it was too little. The dealer thought for kaw. one size fits all. I gave it back to him and asked him to put it on when they were doing little warranty stuff(grips coming off, etc.), but they didn't put it on. If i want them to put it on i could just call them and ask and they would, but is it even the right one? Suggestions? links?

    buykawasaki.com You really don't need the flush kit. You can just cut off a hose (about 3') get a valve from walmart, and remove the black rubber end on the top of the pipe. Put the hose on and bingo you have a flush kit. You just have to take the hose off and put the rubber end back on. If you ride in salt and have to flush everyoften then you will want a kit from kawasaki it just makes it easier. If you want to shop around call skiworx (www.skiworx.com) he sells them too might be cheaper then kawi.

        its not necessary, but it can't hurt as long as you do it right. If you ride in dirtier water you may want to just so gunk doesn't get built up in the head fittings, and if you do ride in brakish water you may want to look into a tripple pisser kit.

          I'll definatly clean it out some times, but i didn't think it had to be cleaned every ride in fresh water. Thanks for the info. The water i ride in isn't that bad, but i do like to keep my ride clean. I just don't have the flush kit on yet and i'm taking it out today and i have been taking it out for about two weeks and it hasn't been flushed, but i'm getting it put on monday.

            It is neccesary. All it takes is a litlte devris in your system to overheat you, possilby damaging parts. Everytime you decide to not do it, you take a chance. Why would you do that?
