Sorry gents i should say I'm looking at a budget of approx. £8-£9k really

Hey Kawcky, no, not off the radar, yet too extreme in look i think for me fella, at the moment

Monster 1200 is a do it all beast Ah yes Perkles, the Monster 1200, yeah i've been thinking about it too, as it sorts the 'cool factor, easy to commute on and still have some fun at the weekends'. It's the slimline version of the Diavel in my mind, of which i do like the Diavel, yet not sure what i...

Speed triple is good. Try the S1000r if you're after a sporty naked. Diavel is ugly XSR900 is boring Hey Kwacky, I'm thinking more 'cafe racer, old school or retro' looks wise hence the DIavel and XSR900 going into the mix. I've looked at the S1000R though, and clearly it has amazing reviews, yet n...

Hmm, good suggestion Cav, i was looking at that yesterday, not sure it's really me though, lush bike and a weapon on the roads for sure

Well gents as I can't really ride the Zx-10r I'm thinking on changing...again... What should I go for considering my riding consists of mainly; - commuting - weekend catch up with the biker lads - one or two long distance trips a year (1k or less) - nipping out for some time on my own I've been thin...

any update? Yup... Bushes should be in next week and the bike is booked in to do the work on the 16th July!!!!! Yet... Spoke with Nick at Jordanbikes, the owner, and he is on the look out in the interim for another bike for me. I'm thinking either 899 or 1199 and head on back to Ducati ownership, y...

Call Tom at MCT, they will have notes on your bike on their system. They are always happy to chat. When I spoke to him I think he said my bike needed more compression damping. Yeah part of me is thinking to get booked in with them to do the whole lot, change the bushes, do the oil, set it up for me...

Having ridden it boys I can say it's a cracker. And the reason it glimmers so is down to the copious amount of polish we put on it at mine one day!

Is it amongst these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Suspension-Seals-Bushes-Kawasaki-2011-2015/dp/B01BCT0ASE?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Good question Duke63. I saw those on eBay yet didn't know if those or these https://www.ebay.co.uk/...

No one has any. One chap said they're on back order from Japan so that's 3-5 weeks!!!! What's going on is everyone after the same parts?

Thanks matey. I've dropped them a line.


Carpe de Pasty...

Can't you reject the bike and ask for a replacement? P.S. Perkles works for the robotics side of Kawasaki. I've thought of that yet they've done everything to help when others wouldn't so as it's such a nigglely thing I'm happy to get it done and not go down that route to be fair Kwacky. Carpe de P...

Thanks for the advice Perkles I'll make sure they do that. Monty it's a specific one of the set they're short on. 44065-0039 'bushing front fork' so I'm trying to find that on eBay etc. If not then it's 10-day back order waiting time and then fitting in mid-July. Hence me asking. Carpe de Pasty...

Did you get them to fit the big boned bushes?

Monty...not nice, have a look at my updated post, nothing fitted yet...feeling slightly peed now

That's piss poor from Kawasaki but to be honest I've only ever heard good things about the bpf forks so maybe a one off Good job you stuck to your guns and spotted something wasn't right Hey Perkles, i hear you work for Kawasaki....a favour if i may, here's my situation... I've not ridden my bike r...

An update on the suspension issues... After a suspension diagnostic test at P&H it turns out that Mike at MD Racing was spot on, both fork bushes have gone! Very unusual they said considering the mileage. Jordan Bikes have been brilliant and authorised all the work at P&H so one can't compla...

He's near Stowmarket in Suffolk, he's in all the magazines and Monty's used him before too. http://www.mctsuspension.com/Contaceus.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Now I've put the ohlins Shock on mine the front feels very soft,I might go to a suspension specialist and get it set up Glad you got yours sorted Cornish Well I've always had my suspension set up and it's been worth every penny.
