so you fellas were right, haha i woke up to a call from the stealership this morning, said they called kawi and its the god dam throttle bodies, theyre replacing all of them, its all covered, but 7 days for the parts, unless I wanna pay for next day air, UNLESS I WANNA PAY???? its a new dam bike!!!! its my daily driver and im getting a job at this place in a week, (just had my interview and pp test yesterday) and theyre going to charge me to fix my daily driver ASAP!!! but anyways right when i got the call i checked my emails, and all of you were right, im starting to dislike this throttle body bull crap, and i wanted to know, after its fixed, this aint gonna happen again right???

sweet glad to hear your bike will be fixed soon. i only ride a bike too, i dont believe in cars anymore >=] i know what a pain it is not to have it, walking sucks. so a little update on my FI problem, mine wasnt fuel injection at all.. well sort of but it was the power commander. my buddy and i yanked it at his shop and booya, bike back to normal. so dynojet is sending me a new one and im going to custom map it on the dyno. bling bling

they say they arent warranted tho, thats the problem about the ebay ones, cause from what i understand this throttle body thing happens to a lot of bikes, and kawi hasnt even made any changes to them, they just put on a new set of the SAME throttle bodies...i hope that when i get the parts that i dont have to go through this anymore, i mean, would that not be the worst of luck, to have to go through the throttle body thing 2 or 3 times cause kawi hasnt done a recall yet??
