Hi all, first post but don't own a kwak yet.. anyway have mywife back in thailand in the process of buying attached bike as i can't speak thai .(see pics on http://www.ya-ba.com/ninja/)

haven't seen it first hand but it looks like there is a plastic cover where the pillion seatis.If i want to changeit, is it just a case of buying the seat unit and clipping it in...??

thanks.

 

wow nice ride!! welcome to KF and yes the back seat cowl comes off with the twist of the key.

 

It was case oflust on first sight just need to order the seat unit to keep my wife happy so she can go on the back !!!

 

so your shipping it to the USA from thailand??

 

no, i live in thailand, in US at the moment for a work trip..
you guys are lucky, can't believe how cheap bikes are here !By the time i register it it will cost about $9500 for that 2004 model. more expensive than a new model over here..

 

oh my[&:]well it's a sweet bike bro enjoy! but one thing worries me you said your wife is looking at it for you, does she know what to look for like oil leaks, brakes, tires etc...?

 

unfortunately there is not a huge selection of big bikes in thailandso gotta take the plunge as choices are limited but looking at the photos the bike is in good shape, back tire is squared offso i'mhopingthe owner wasonly aweekend warrior. I was contemplating a CBR600RR or R6 (same year) buti'm really drawn to the kwak..
Anyway the main reason i'm buying it is to do track days so i don't mind spending extra cash on tires or brakes...is there any major issues i should worry about like gearbox , i read before that some models jumped out of gear??? it is a 600 rr model not the 636 ..
cheers
