Hi all Sifu


Need some advice on the Kawasaki Z800.


Been thinking to upgrade my bike to higher CC so it came i have 2 options

1 - Kawasaki ER6f
2 - Kawasaki Z800


Currently im using Kawasaki 250R


Been research that Kawasaki 250R and Kawasaki ER6f Maintenance and Parts price are almost same and wont go far.


Okay here are the main point hope all sifu can advice me to pick which bike.

1 - It is for daily use, travel distance are around 50 Km per day

2 - Dose Kawasaki Z800 easy to Maintain?

3 - Any important issue about Z800?

4 - Er6f and Z800 which one are suitable for daily use?



Thanks
Cheers

Thanks all Sifu for the advice


I also been check on the price for normal service on those Bike i get shock when i heard those price

1 - ER6 Rm 250 - 350 Include (EO,Air Filter,Oil Filter and Plug)

2 - Z800 Rm 500 - 600 Include (EO,Air Filter,Oil Filter and Plug)

So i already make up mind will stick on ER6f since i going to use it daily to work. The price with my current 250R the parts and service really not that far i still can manage.

If for Z800 i use it daily i think it will kill my wallet coz i will service my bike every 3 months when reach 4000KM. Service + Installment really can kill me.


Thanks all but i hope still got more advice from all Sifu-Sifu

Cheers

All Sifu please correct me if im wrong.

By the way yesterday my friend poison me with Z800 give me a test drive

Now i lost my interest on ER6f and fall in love with Z800 How ar?


Thanks

I been using my bike for 4 and a half years so far so good for me.

Er6f maintenance fee is not far compare with 250r that why is time for to upgrade .

For beginner in super bike 250r is the best way to start first, if u got budget just go Er6

Both are the same the different are only the fuel system.

Those part I mention is tear and wear part usually will replace.

Thanks a lot on ur advice I was curious about the health check. So on Z800 valve are better quality right? If I not wrong it got 16 valve 4valve per piston

Dose z800 need to do the health check as well? By the way do u know the cost of the health check on ER6?

Ya I'm thinking for a long term usages coz this is the last time I got my permission to upgrade that's why I been headache

Thanks for the advice but lucky my wife didnt want to convoi even i untill now didnt joined a convoi event.

Plus my 250R already put in Seat Cowl hehe
