Whoh! I thought I was doing well for having 5000 kms on mine since beginning of April... Don't wanna do math on miles.

Dude that's a lot of miles, I've had my bike for a month short of 2 years and just hit the 6600 mile mark. Great time to upgrade to the Muzzy, or pipe of your choice as long as it the Muzzy, did I mention Muzzy?

At the rate you put miles on that bike, if you have the extended 4 yr warrenty I can see the dealer doing a complete overhaul on your motor at least once or twice.

Does anybody have an idea how long these 250 motors are good for when properly matained? From what I have benn reading, these bikes have benn available down under for some years.

Depending on the milage on the motor & work needed, Does Kawasaki ever just send the dealer a complete motor to swap like auto manufactures do?

Is anyone on the boards here a mechanic who works for a Kawasaki franchised dealer who could answer these questions?

Umm, I don't think the warranty will cover a rebuild due to mileage... That's just wear and tear unfortunately.

Watched one of your video's I think you may have put at least 150 more miles doing that burn out on the log.[sm=devilgrin.gif]

So then I would ask, what does it really cover then?
