I was listing these at the top of the fairings tutorial but that was making the post too long and some of the end of that tutorial was getting chopped every time I added another link at the top. So here it is. There is a link at the top of fairings tutorial that comes here so this can go to the bottom of the How Tos but ut will still be easy to locate if anyone needs something. I'l just keep adding links here as I write new tutorials.

I hope our stealers dont read this site or a contract will be out on the genius known as rook. Rook, in my 36 years of big K I have never found anything as useful as your 'how to's' and tutorials. Long may they continue.
I wonder if folk here realise what ROOK stands for? Really Outstanding On Kawasaki. Never a truer word ay mates.

It was all inside Rook. He was a diamond in the rough way back when, Taffs. You should have been around to see him blossom. And now look.

Really Outstanding On Kawasaki.

Thanks, Taffs!! hahah!! That's awesome!!

Still a long looooooong road ahead of me, Hubster. Thank you for the tremendous amount of patients and help so far.

There is a little bit of Hubdom in almost every one of these. The Valve Clearance tutorial was something I couldn't have ever finished without Hub's tutelage.

Rook, For HUB is this too good or shall we use it? HUB is:- He's Utterly Brilliant. Keep up the great work amigo's you have saved me from the stealers this past year or so. I dont see me swapping my 14 for the new one for a long time if ever so your tutorials are bbbbbbbrilliant.

He's Utterly Brilliant.

perfect!

Thanks for your tutorials Rook, well done and they definitely have saved me anger and frustration.

thank you for the feedback. I'm glad it/they helped you!

ROOK, you are a gentleman and a scholar! Thank you!

Thanks for the battery removal guide Rook - it really helped me out today.

Thanks for posting here, folks. Always nice to know someone is using this stuff.

Well hell yeah someone's using it!F'n A bro...you're the site 'go to' guy for this stuff!These write ups are perfect....

heh HEEEE!! thanks buddy. More to come this winter.....

We need a 14r tutorial guy around here now.

Great Job Rook. Amazing Really

Rook, your tutorials are rubbish and are not detailed enough...

Nah, just kidding.
Just wanted to be different, change it up a bit from all the glowing feedback here and keep your head to a size to fit into your helmet!
They're brilliant and have helped me heaps.

Thanks again for all your great work...

Thanks Yannih!

wow rook,fantastic stuff! As a newbie 14 owner (010 SE) and these guides will help soooooooooooo much. I've been locked in on various how-to's for the last few days. Hard to pull myself away. Can't thank you enough for all you've shared and documented. After reading about pulling the wheels is helpful as I'm needing to have new rubber mounted on the front. Great forumn and a wealth of knowledge being shared. Hard to beat that!

Glad they help. LOL they help me too! I come back and read them for most jobs I do a second or third time.
