Newest Review: ... manage that your doing something wrong!. I have both models the GT750 and the GT550 and i cover about 15000 miles a year and ... more

 ... change my pads every two years- this is because i use forward planning and engine braking!. Air assisted shock and forks are probably good when they were new, but both of mine loose air during the day - althought this doesnt affect the riding too much. Kawasaki , i think dont like to use oil on any threads , so all the nuts and bolts will seize. When you try to remove something your always thinking' is this undoing or snapping off!'. Exhaust studs like to snap too. The rear mudguard is made of metal, which i dont...more
