You guys will just have to bring your bikes down here! October is when we go from 100 degrees into the brisk 90's - brrrrrrr! I'll buy the Corona's, don't forget your sunblock!

 

I love going down there in the fall/winter. I'm thinking one day i'm just going to buy something and leave it down there. Too bad winter is when i work my a$$ off in the field. Dont even have much time to snowboard

 

Eric, You have no idea how happy that I am to hear that it's at a different dealer!!!!! If they are reputable, my guess is that your problems are soon to be over! There is no doubt in my mind that after the first uncommon problem, the rest was their ineptness(is that a word?)
Good luck, and if it gets into a long ordeal again, I will be happy to loan you a bike!!(I promise!)

 

haha..... you have enough bikes

Yea hopefully they got a guy that knows what he is doing.... Im kinda happy it finally broke this bad, hopefully they replace from the connecting rod up...... that would be great... but we will see......

 

when they call and tell me whats wrong.... im gonna have a good talk with the service manager about putting the 300 cylinder on.... i was looking at the prices of the parts.... the 300 parts would be less than 20-30$ more.... but it would be what they can do because they have to turn it into kawi...... but ill tell them thats what i want... maybe if i get lucky they can do that.... maybe because the dealer will install the whole thing it will be ok.....

 

Hey, it's worth a shot. I plan on putting in the 300 cylinder plus high performance cam this winter.

If you can get most of the cylinder/piston cost covered by warranty, go for it.

 

mmmmmmm lookin good........ hopefully they go for it..... thats the least they can do....

I agree, they caused this. The original problem was a Kaw one. The rest of this is blood on the hands of the last monkeys that worked on it.

 

17,000?!!! What the flip? Do you have a 100 mile commute every day? I just hit the 6,000 mile mark and I ride to work every day. Of course my commute is 1.7 miles. I think I have over 100 days in a row riding to work.
