Mystery solved & new problem

[delusionz]

Oh well, She's in with my favourite local now

Any updates?

[delusionz]

Yep, Came out next day and went straight back in... heh

[McDuck]

how about now?

[Pancakes]

Yeah I was wondering about this today. I'd be spewing mate. Just taking another one off the floor.

Gasket replaced under warranty, picked up yesterday. No oil leaking so far!

My personal theory is:

Cheap bikes = average build quality & suspect assembly.
Cheap bikes = get serviced by the most junior garage staff
Ergo - Cheap bikes have a lot more opportunity to shit themselves.

End of the day -> try and break everything inside the warranty period. What breaks, replace it under warranty and by the time you're done you should have one decent bike assembled from replaced parts. Then do all the maintenance work you can yourself AND ALWAYS double check what the garage has done (within reason)

After owning a Hyosung 6 months I can tell you that with a cheap bike you get what you pay for (and make up the rest in your own sweat and time).

Good advice in general, I tend to follow that with computer parts, but heh, Motorbike downtime sucks

Good news mate, glad it was only a gasket that required replacment. As said before...its the dealers bad luck that they are stuck with a bike that Kawasaki didnt put together properly.

Once the oil light comes on and the engine has pressure built up you can pretty my kiss the internals of your engine bye bye Well some of them any way...for sake of an argument.

Those engines are great engines, shit brick house mentality really. I wouldnt give up on it mate

2 feet 2 arms-push?

A better suggestion - ring someone, have them put the call out on KB and wait for help. Try it - next time you need to - see what happens.
