Yep got home from work and did a quick 100ks this arvo,with traction control down 2 levels from yesterday and reckon I am ready to go down another level to 2+ and reduce the engine braking as one guy recons that doing that reduces the throttle snatch.We will see tomorrow as I plan do get some more ks then as well as Monday I will do another 300ks.I am determined to get this sorted as soon as possible,suspension is still to hard so probably need to get it set by someone who knows more than me.
Well although the bike is inane,i am really having some trouble with the insane paint,if you look at it or a bug splats on it automatic mark and or scratch,yep this bike needs to be totally clear wrapped and i mean all of it before you even ride it.I have mentioned this to my dealer and they have passed it on to kawasaki lets see what happens but i really dont want to ride it anymore until this is sorted out as i will look like shit really quickly.
To make sure its run in, you should ride it up to Sydney.

That far with quite a few straight roads would probably suicide for my licence,at least here in the twisties i have some chance of retaining it.Touch wood.
Just give it a touch up with a Supercheap can like the trackies, it'll be right
Sorry mate but that is a massive pain in the arse, hope you get it sorted.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.

Im sure they wont do a recall for this but mine is going nowhere except for first service and to have pipe fitted until i have a solution.

Maybe they expected everyone to tuck them away in a shed Mal.
With a bike like these that would almost be a crime.
