Why would water be coming out of a small hole on the side of the motor

You dont say what type of vehicle, so assuming its a car type engine it is possible you have a leaking welsh plug. If you put you finger where the leak is you should find an indentation, which if correct, is the welsh plug. Dont try and repair yourself, have a technician do it as they are not easy.

BENT FRONT FORKS ER500 2004 MODEL

the wall thickness of forks on current models, is thin and they distort if you try to straighten them, if you measure at the bend they are not likely to be round. there may even be stresses and fractures that would need xraying.
I know in older repair manuals they say the inner tube can be straightened in a press with a dial gauge. and I straighten lots of them in the 70-80s.
In newer manuals they warn never attempt it
It is a fairly critical part of a bike that you, or a future owner doesnt need snapping of the bike.

Brake dust removal

long-armed brush is usually the best way scrub off brake dust and dirt. Apply a wheel cleaner first and let it settle before scrubbing it off. Chrome wheels will require specific cleaners, so be aware of your wheel's finish before purchasing a cleaner. Don't use tire dressing products, as their glossy finishes can compromise grip

Lacks power on acceleration idles

If the bike is a four stroke, chances are the valves need to be re-seated. Do a compression check. If you re-post the problem, tell us the year, model and engine size of your bike. That will allow us to help better.

Have fitted new cush rubbers

You can buy a piece of rubber at the hardware store. They sell a pad for making rubber plumbing gaskets . You could experiment with carefully placed shims to see if it helps. I do not think it will hurt anything to try, and it might be nice to get the clunk out.

I have a 2002 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 I'm customizing it can the rectifier be moved so it's not just hanging there.

Absolutely, the rectifier on your Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500 can be repositioned during a customization project. The rectifier is a crucial part of the motorcycle's electrical system, converting alternating current (AC) from the stator into direct current (DC) to charge the battery and power the bike's electrical components. While relocating the rectifier, it's important to consider a few key factors:
  1. Space and Mounting: Assess the available space on the motorcycle to find a suitable location for the rectifier. Ensure that the new position allows for proper mounting and secure attachment without interfering with other components or the bike's functionality.
  2. Heat Dissipation: The rectifier generates heat during operation, so it's essential to relocate it to an area with adequate airflow for cooling. Mounting it in a well-ventilated area helps prevent overheating issues.
  3. Wiring and Connections: When moving the rectifier, ensure that the wiring can be appropriately rerouted to reach its new location. Take care to maintain proper electrical connections and ensure a secure, stable wiring setup.
  4. Protection: Consider adding protective measures, such as shields or guards, to safeguard the relocated rectifier from road debris, water, or other potential hazards.
Modifying the placement of the rectifier may require custom brackets, mounts, or fabrication work to secure it in the desired location. It's crucial to execute the relocation carefully, maintaining proper electrical connections and ensuring the rectifier's safety and functionality. If you're not confident in performing these modifications yourself, consulting a professional motorcycle mechanic or technician with experience in customizations can be highly beneficial. They can offer guidance, expertise, and ensure that the modifications are carried out safely and effectively.

Looking replacement batteries for kawasaki 21.6 volt batteries part # 691221

eBay is the only place and there is only one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266382749570 Or direct from China https://power-tool-batteries.en.made-in-china.com/product/tqRnSCOglNhK/China-Kawasaki-Power-Tool-Batteries-21-6V-Replacement.html Or you can open it up and solder in the individual NiCad cells.
