I can't believe it's been a year now since I got my bike! I'm so glad I bought this bike! I'm trying to remember if I had any problems with my bike but the only thing I can think of is the occasional stutter but I found out what was causing it. It was because I drilled the slide 7\64 and I installed the dynojet shorter spring at the same time. I put the stock slide spring back on and the stutter was gone! That stutter was so annoying! Other than that, my bike is running strong and stutter free with over 5k miles. I really can't say it enough...I LOVE THIS BIKE!!!

 

so bigger slide hole and shorter spring = bad mojo?

 

From my experience...YES! I believe you lose vacuum pressure when you do both.

 

The mods I have done so far on my bike are..full muzzy exhaust with silencer on and spark arrestor removed, uni filter, snorkel removed, 124 dj main jet, 35 pilot jet, 2 1\2 turns out, kouba screw, clip on 3rd notch from top, drilled slide to 7\64 of an inch, smog stuff removed, drilled the airbox breather, tci rear rack, dunlop 606 front and rear tires with heavy duty tubes, edge 2 tail light with led blinkers, pro taper cr bend 7\8 bar, msr handguards and header wrapped. Wow...that sounds like a lot!

 

good to know, stock spring it'll be then

 

We all need to go in together on a cake... there's a BUNCH of us celebrating one year this week. June 19th is mine.

 

I can't believe I've had my bike for 3 and a half years. I can still remember the day. November 23 2005 I was so excited that I showed up at the shop an hour away and they were still putting it together. I think it was a probably to make me wait in the store and spend even more money......of course it worked. I am still proud of the fact that I bought the first one from that shop, and probably the first one to buy one on the peninsula. Heck I saw it on line two months before any of the dealers in Washington even got one in. I called them and told them I wanted the first one when it came in. They were like "what is it again?" I had to send them the link to the bike.

 

gotta love dealers that are in the know with what they're selling

 

mines 7/17, im guessing this came up because of the letters kawi sends to try to extend the warrenty.
