Somebody say something about a 600 mile service being 'unnecessary"?J/K....but,guess that proves Kawasaki is telling everyone what 'possibly' could occur at 600 or so miles.Good for them...I always wondered 'why' at 600 miles to have the bike taken to the mech just to change oil.This is reason enough I guess if ya don't intend to check things for yourself.I did check those meter bracket bolts however...and the bottom one tightened up about a 1/4 turn....12mm socket if anyone's wondering.
This may be nothing...maybe just inherent in the new bike..BUT...has anyone noticed that running above 100 or so...on up...the mirrors are not real sharp?It's not a problem really,but I'm just curious if everyone's mirrors are doing this.If they are...I'm also wondering if installing an earlier model mirror would stop this from occurring.Seems my 07 stayed pretty darn clear on up to around 150 at least...but I COULD be mistaken.
@Snuffy...I did the same deal...the exhaust....all the bolts I worked with were nice and snug like factory torques.None loose.Course,there weren't that many grant you.But they were okay with mine.
TXBLUE wrote"(the 2 bolts that connect the fairing to the trees")...I've no idea what those are.But I don't want MINE being loose....which ones are they?Snuffy's pic is showing the METER BRACKET BOLTS.You mean those two?The only other ones that sound like what you may be referring to are the ones that connect the MIRROR BRACKET to the top of the meter bracket frame.The mirrors are bolted into that bracket with two bolts each holding the mirrors on from underneath the fairing there.Do you mean those four mirror bolts?
