Yeah obviously posted before I heard of your issues. Fingers crossed it's a simple and easy fix for Mike. Some good advice from Kiwi so hopefully the motor is still good and you get some good news next week.

Hey Rocket, they look nice yet I'm going for black ASVs my friend as they'll blend with the bike. Sorry yours a little bright for my stealth look. Thanks though buddy.

Well the first 10mins I was like "shit what have i done, this is awful, yet 10mins later and I'm settled back into counter steering and knees out mode again. The power.....

Lovely ride back from a mates via box hill on the back roads. Some boy racers out yet all they ended up doing was being a speck in my rear view mirror. Ha ha.

Just going to lower the rear sets as my knees are in my ears. Gotta love Kawasaki for putting two settings you can choose from to do that. Engineers through and through. Anyone know the torque settings or where I can get a workshop manual online?

Just taken the baffle out. OMG it's like unleashing thunder and brimstone. Love it.

Guys this is a cracking bike that behaves like a 600 yet goes like a bullet. Great choice. Thanks for the recommendations.

Now, send me a shopping list...Cornish is back
