Back on a Kwak

[Kwacky]

Heated grips, fender extender, rad guard and optimate battery cable all fitted. Ready for winter riding.

[Kwacky]

A quick dry wash and wax then a coat of the auto brite ceramic shield

[Perkles]

I am always impressed by the shine on your Kwaks

[D41]

Me too.... what is that reflecting on the left side of the gas cap......??

[Kwacky]

The underside of the garage door. The photo was taken inside the garage. It's got an up and over door

[Kwacky]

The sx did a good job two up. As expected the front felt a bit vague and light. Steering was slower but I could still get a move on. Acceleration is still really impressive and smooth. Apparently the pillion seat is pretty comfortable.

Gave it a wash and topped up the ceramic wax. It gives a lovely glimmer to the paintwork.

It looks all dusty mate...

[Kwacky]

I'm going in to work tomorrow, so I got some ACF50 and a toothbrush to treat the usual areas.

[Kwacky]

I had a survey from Kawasaki to fill in, which I did. Loads of opportunity for feedback. Half of the questions were about new tech. I wonder if they'll do a two model range of the SX like they do with the Versys 1000? (full tech or basic).

I got a £25 voucher towards my next service for my troubles.

[Kwacky]

I've ordered an adaptor kit for my Abba stand. I don't mind using a paddock stand but it seems a waste having the abba doing nothing.

[Kwacky]

The bag has rubbed the paint on the pillion grab handles. I've asked on the SX page and it's a common problem. The paint is really thin.

They're easy to take off so I might spray and lacquer them.

[Kwacky]

Put some R and G bar ends on. Someone on the SX page bought them but didn't like them. I couldn't turn down a bargain.

[Kwacky]

I've taken the grab handles off the bike. I'm going to see if I can paint them and put a coating on. The paint shouldn't come off after one weekend away but there's a few complaints from owners of the newer bikes about thin paint.

[Kwacky]

I've booked the Kwak in for a full valet and xcp coating. It'll be done at the start of September. Home service.

[Kwacky]

Booked in for an annual service. The dealer is really busy. I can't get in until 12th September

[Kwacky]

I've order a pair of Z8s.

How come budget tyres aren't budget any more?

....How come budget tyres aren't budget any more?

How much power is used to create and supply those "budget" tyres Kwacky.?
If you want any semblance to the price you've expected them to be previously, probably best you buy two sets & sell yourself the spare ones when these new ones need replacing.

[Kwacky]

I'm glad you dont manage my money.

COVID.

[Kwacky]

Annual service done. £150 once you take the £25 off from Kawasaki.
