![]() thanks a lot, torresmr.
also, thanks kman. I remember hearing that Kawasaki had pulled the test bikes. Maybe thats why all the magazines gave it such crap reviews. They were just pissed off. So much for professional objectivity. |

![]() Believe it or not, a large percentage of Japanese bikes made since oh, 1970 or so do indeed have pushrods. The thing is, they're usually used to actuate the clutch, in which case throwing a rod is just as bad as if it was actuating valves. Don't believe me? Trot on down to your local dealer and ask.

![]() By the way, if anybody from MO is reading...
The past three months have been great. You've hit cruisers, tourers, budget bikes (WOOHOO!) and GSXRs. Variety is good and that's why I keep coming to this site. Keep up the good work. Starving Student |

![]() 600 cc.
Kawasaki doesn't want to give them a ZX-12R to test. Simple. |

![]() He probably meant piston rod. The odds of "throwing" a clutch throwout rod are very slim as there's very little stroke to them.
Re: the original thread. MO is better than nothing, so whiners beware, there are obviously folks out there that are sensitive on the issue. If you complain about a free service that is your choice to entertain, then you'll get what you deserve. Keep the comments objective, like constructive criticism. I have to admit though, some of the personal attacks are like the MO/Jerry Springer show...where's the bouncer? |

![]() It was a connecting rod, supposedly due to a press person whacking the rev-limiter with like 100 miles on the clock. he was trying to be helpful, lay off.
