Not a happy consumer

Picked one up for my son a week ago, he also had an 07kx 85. First we had a hard time getting the bike to idle, kept wanting to die out, after a couple of laps he came back to the truck and said his 07 has more power, coming from a ten year old, I didn't think much of it. He went back on the track d...oes half a lap and comes back to the truck, the bike would not shift. The selector could be moved up and down but nothing was there; no clicking between gears, nothing at all. Mind you, new bike with a half hour on it at this point. Take is back to the dealer and they found that there was a part installed wrong from the factory. Talked with them about the lack out power, bike was running way lean. Now according to them they talked with Kawasaki and found this was by design to gain more on the top end and it is a problem the big wheel version is having. So now the bike is still at the dealer, they are trying to get the jetting straight before we pick up the bike. Before these bikes were released on the market it would have been nice if the bugs were worked out, especially considering no warranty is implied on the bike; it's a good thing our local dealer agrees that these problems are not ok. If we would have know. Of the problems we would have picked up a 2013 and saved the headache. My confidence in Kawasaki is not there now! Thanks guys, would appreciate some sugar with the lemon so I can at least make lemonade with the $4,500 lemon you put out! Read Full Review
