We've just got the 500 series - it's not overly fast, but I did use it to pull my F-150 crew cab with attached 8'x14' trailer out of the snow last winter. The thing just will not quit and if it does the winch is a great addition

lol.. ya man. they're beastly.. all i need to do is erase the code on this thing, then it goes back to its owner..

the airbox ambient pressure switch failed.. now, theres a locked code that puts it kinda in limp mode.. won't idle.

i will miss trips to the dumpster with this machine tho..

You all have compiled some great info here and I hope to be able to contribute once I get a chance to dig into this new beauty. This is my 5th motorcycle and my second Kawi but it's my first really dirt oriented ride. I currently ride a V-Strom 650 and an XL600R which are both a bit piggish for real single track and deep sand work.

I'm excited to try this bike out on some of the more technical stuff in my area. I'm a Master Electrician so if you have questions in that area I'm glad to help, although explaining code over the interweb is sometimes a little cumbersome.

See ya on the trails,
Travis

Well there is some OK ridding at Carlos Avery WMA. It's not great but it gets the bug out of me if I need a quick fix. The downside (for your buddy anyway) to CA is 4 wheelers are not allowed, only licensed vehicles.

I'm almost always up for a ride up north. Send me out an e-mail at travncari (at) msn (dot) com. I've also got a truck and access to a good sized trailer for those days you don't feel like burning 200 miles of knobby off just to get to where you can ride a little dirt.
