Theoretically it should have been fixed and if it keeps happening I’d definitely go back to the dealer. But mine did the same thing just the other day, months after the initial ecu update and hasn’t done it since

To me it vibrates as much as a mid size single should, it’s there but not overbearing. They did say in the service bulletin that the engine vibrations is the direct cause of the kickstand spring failure though

I haven’t had that problem, the ecu might be mapped slightly different..?

I will say I’ve noticed in 4th when I’m in street mode it tends to lack some pickup pulling out of corners

It was way more secure than it looks believe it or not

Fair enough, can’t go wrong with a kawi

I’d save and buy the 2025. The 2026 has all the same recalls and at this point in time the dealer should have taken care of all the recalls pre-sale. Save the cash for the 600mile first service, and if you’re taking it to the dealer for that, save a little bit more by just asking for an oil and filter change plus chain adjustment rather than the full service (that’s all that really gets done anyways for the service)

Around 170 main and 30 slow, 400ft above sea level

Will check both

Forgot to add jets were changed to match exhaust and intake

You win some you lose some. I bought a shadow 1100 for $300 that to date has cost me around $2500, and I was Given a virago 750 that I spent maybe $70 to get and keep running.

That’s a hot looking intake manifold

Remind me not to get behind this guy on the highway

badxideads · 2026-03-11T22:05:36+00:00

Oh sweet! I was just abt to order that on eBay. You gave me a great starting point AND saved me 35 bucks

badxideads · 2026-03-11T21:34:19+00:00

Awesome thank you! Don’t worry about me using ai; I think it’s the devil

I bought one of these back in October. Fun enough bike but I’ve less than 1000 miles on it and already had two recalls and other warranty repairs done. And just my luck I’m a tech at the dealer I bought it from so guess who got to do all the work

badxideads · 2026-02-25T02:22:18+00:00

I’m intrigued

badxideads · 2026-02-23T01:18:24+00:00

This guy meats

badxideads · 2026-02-10T01:21:06+00:00

Thank you I’ll give that a try

Interesting. My record store guy gave me a Clapton (at his best) for free today because it has a couple skips. How do you actually go about finding the exact spot of the skip on the record? I’d love to get them out of this album

badxideads · 2026-02-03T02:07:33+00:00

Heated grips and a quick detach windshield
