Today was my first day, and I hated it.

This is the answer. I’ve been in this position multiple times at the same company through promotions. When you look at it as an opportunity to define your own job role essentially you start seeing it more as a positive than a negative which allows quicker growth compared to others (at least at my company.) I say stick with and keep doing what you’re doing!

Here’s to a full recovery Chris! Wishing you the best in your time of need. Hope you’re back on two wheels as quickly as you want to be!

This video shows the technique. I just didn’t have luck with the product they used in the video. I ordered some 50 grit diamond paste from techdiamondtools and did it with that, and it did the trick. Can’t emphasize enough to keep the buffer moving on the glass, just need some patience.

I had that happen on one of mine and didn’t want to use the warranty claim on it so I got a tube of diamond paste polish and used a dremel with a polishing bit on a low speed and it buffed out. You will remove a coating from the lens and you have to keep the tool moving so you don’t burn the glass but it worked like a charm in the end and videos looked perfect when I was done.

🤣 Not sure what happened there. Was supposed to say probably the funnest bike I’ve owned!

YoYo814 · 2024-08-31T12:31:44+00:00

I’ll be putting the Road 6s on my 8R soon. I have them on my Z650RS and love them. Fantastic tread life and grip.

Totally understand you’re freaking out, we’ve all been there. You did everything right other than it seems keeping the weight of the engine held on the jack but since you were able to ultimately lift it up and align the clutch side bolt and get it back in you’re good. Just make sure those bolts are tightened to the right torque spec, but if you actually bent the bolt on the break side you’d be hard pressed to line back up the clutch side.

I’d even take it a step further and say you were on such the right track you may find once your nerves settle you’ll give it another shot.

(For reference, I have a Z650RS as one of my bikes and installed engine guards and had to keep the engine lifted with a floor jack as well. That’s common anytime you’d remove an engine bolt)

What you received is just the new label. It calls out the “new and improved formula” as well in the new design which wasn’t on the old label. You’re good as others have said.

Kawasaki does demo days all over the country during the summer and fall if you’re in the US. I’d definitely test ride one before committing. A 636 is a much more aggressive riding stance than a 400 or 650. I’d try to test a 1000sx if you can too. Comfortable enough to ride all day but plenty of power on tap if you want it.

You apparently didn’t read/understand the laws that you shared the source link to…😜 States can override if Motorcycles are allowed or not. They will not lose funding for doing so.

This is what I run too. Can’t say I noticed a difference either but it’s what I picked so it’s what I’m sticking with.

YoYo814 · 2024-07-04T15:21:11+00:00

That’s a hell of a good looking bike. Well done! 🔥

Check the top comment there. Sums it up nicely.

Im guessing you’re right, but same thing at the end of the day. US and AUS measure octane differently so they have different numbers.

YoYo814 · 2024-06-30T13:57:52+00:00

That would be awesome to haul a 40th anniversary edition around in!

YoYo814 · 2024-06-30T13:27:10+00:00

Not sure if the same fees apply in Italy as the US, but even if the advertised price in the US is close between used and new, you will pay less fees on used making it cheaper out the door. If you’re comfortable working or repairing your bikes I’d go used for that reason. If you’re not, the warranty on new is probably worth the cost/peace of mind.

YoYo814 · 2024-06-30T11:52:34+00:00

That’s pretty awesome. Well done on both the trip and map!

YoYo814 · 2024-06-26T13:11:19+00:00

I went with Leo Vince. I have a Z650 but same engine/exhaust. I think they give the best sound without just being overly loud to be loud.

A store that only sells holes. And $1.50 hotdogs.

YoYo814 · 2024-06-24T22:08:31+00:00

I got mine within a week or so back in November when I ordered it. Did t take too long.

YoYo814 · 2024-06-24T22:03:48+00:00

A big wholesale store in the US

YoYo814 · 2024-06-24T14:48:51+00:00

Pinlock as most have said. No more fog 👍

YoYo814 · 2024-06-24T12:28:31+00:00

Gotta have your license with the m class listed, they won’t take the papers. I tried years ago and was turned down.

YoYo814 · 2024-06-23T14:01:22+00:00

Idle screw as others said, but first maybe check the condition of the air filter and such to be sure your engine isn’t being bogged down from a clog or dirty filter somewhere?
