So stick within the book or just outside all will be fine

I'd say the same goes for the LAMS thing - if you're buying it fom a dealer then they need to "stick within the book" and supply it as advertised ie LAMS approved.

BTW the kawasaki ER650FDFW is on the list I looked at. The 2013 ninja 650 ABS LAMS is an EX650FDSW according to the kawasaki NZ website, so maybe there's a typo somewhere?

Who said it was advertised as being LAM's approved ... ??? The dealer told him it was.

That's one unscrupulous dealer, then...

Wouldn't the CGA apply?

So the dealer (WHICH ONE .. ???) says ... OOP's and moves on ...

CGA applies to "Fit for the purpose it was intended" ... and as it was fit for the purpose the OP intended ... but that does not change regulations ...

From ER6N to ER6FDFW is one hell of a typo ...

Good point.

BTW I didn't mean "advertised" in the literal sense, more in the sense of it being "described" to the OP as LAMS approved.

Official model no. for the 2010 ER6N on the NZ website is ER650CAF. So it seems there's a shorter and longer version for each....

If the dealer was informed it would be approved (or even approved in Aussie) ... does not change the fact ... at this point in time ... IT IS NOT approved in NZ.

The OP should discuss the issue with the dealer, ASAP ... if not sooner ...

The 2010 model is not on the list either ...

Nor is the 2013 model.

Most definitely!

Doesn't change the fact it is not on the list.

If they screwed the spelling then technically it would be and if not it meets the criteria so ill apply to have it added otherwise this whole LAMs thing is pointless bs if I can't own a bike that meets all criteria
