I will be honest, first year machine...I went with the extended warranty. Not usually a person that does it, however, it is a small piece of mind.

That's actually a good idea you got there! Factory warranty is 6 months right? How much is the extended warranty? Does it void the warranty if you bring it in as a four seater?Seems like it would be an easy way for kawi to say "oh gee,you modified it,your motor and tranny blew up because all that extra weight your carrying"

According to my dealer, the cage has nothing to do with with it, however, I am sure that if there was a frame issue, something would be brought up.

Im prolly going to get the ext warr. myself. You can get them for $550 on ebay last I checked.

I also picked up the 4.5yr ext warranty as it is just a 1st year machine. It was through the dealer and is bumper to bumper (including brakes) for $1200....no deductable for the entire 5yrs.

I think the engine or tranny might go around year 4....lol

I also bought a 4 year warrenty for $700 did they give you any booklet or anything on the warrenty? I hope its worth the extra $

Before I rode mine I installed the new Dynotek CDI pulled out the exhast tip, let it warm up and then rode it hard for 3miles then let it rest and did it again. I don't know what stock speed is but the digi dash says 62mph. Which people with GPS's say upper 50s.
I have a 60month extended warranty so I will ride it hard!

20 minutes under 1/2 throttle then full throttle. I read that article about breakng in new engines by driving them hard, and decided to try it. I have a 4 year warranty so I figured I had nothing to lose and maybe some horsepower to gain.

I let it warm up...then I'm in and out of the throtle. I don't hold it at a steady speed for more than 15-20 sec. I'll do this for a tank of gas or two. It has worked for me in the past .

I followed what the manual said. Took me a couple trips but I got it done and its time to see what she can do.
