Kawasaki vn 1500 meanstreak gear leaver doesn't return into place after putting into gear, i have to use my fiit to return it into place so i can then chose next gear. what could be causing this ?

SOURCE: I am about to buy a 1998 vn 1500 kawasaki -

NO theres not. i own this very same bike i have the 99 1500 drifter #0791 last 4 of vin. the only quirk with this bike is the clutch springs. they were weak but if this bike has over around 20k miles you should be good because someone else probally has replaced them, if not its a simple quick repair. but if you have to replace them just upgrade to the mean streak spring they will fit, they are a different part number but they will fit. its an hour and a half job to replace them. i have done about 10 of these in the last few years for customers. if any further questions contact me on here and we can go over this on the phone. i am a kawasaki vulcan nut. i own 2 of these bikes one being the 1500 drifter the other a 02 800 drifter.

SOURCE: how many quarts of oil for engine. then shaft for

You could always check in your owners maunual, or contact your local dealer for the bike, they should be more than happy to answer that question for you. if not, try checking the side of your engine their should be a little look window that will yell you when its full, if not their should be a dip stick, just keep an eye on your levels, so u will know next time, as for the shaft, when i change my shaft oil in my varigo i go pour the oil in till it reaches the top. Hope this helps you.
