my 1999 kawasaki gpz 500s start then cuts out. the oil light stays on although plenty oil. when running doesn't sound right and left exhaust blows cold, right blows hot. checked oil and running hot. bike was recently dropped (no speed involved and did not get heavy dunt). any advice? thanx
The fact that the exhaust is blowing cold on one side means the bike is only running on one cylinder. Try replacing the spark plug on that side. Do NOT run the bike untill it is fixed as you will cause a lot of damage if it id running on one cylinder.

The cold side of exhaust is not firing, the bike is only running on 1 cylinder check that you are getting a spark in that cylinder.If u r getting a spark then its fueling thats your problem.
