    Cycle World reported the same findings, but I agree with your OEM strategy.

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

      I know nothing about the design of the Kawasaki system, but for the Yamaha system people said all that needed to be done was block off the oil passage with a piece of sheet steel under the gasket. I never did because it seemed to work fine.

        Interesting the way Wayne Rainey is riding and the way the Muzzy GPz has pull back handlebars.
        Just like Eddy Lawson on the KZ1000 that Rainey was riding with the year before.

          If memory isn't playing tricks, a friend discovered the bodywork from its larger sibling fitted straight on with no problems. Gave him much better protection and other benefits for the long days on the road.

          79 XS650SE - Pragmatic Ratter - goes better than a manky old twin should.
          92 XJ900F - Fairly Stock, for now.
