Wonder if the warranty covers the missing hero blobs on the pegs then

None on mine either but kwikasfuki cant get rid of his no matter how hard he tries. 

You haven't seen my pegs

5mm chicken strip is exceptable in my book anything less and your dam close to the tyres limit and then you could end up with a gravel strip besides, what's chicken strips got to do with the kawasaki warranty don't think kawasaki would agree to have the gravel stip removed from the paint finish if the gtr was to slide down the road for a few hundred yards..!

just as a note on this point, whilst i doff my cap at those who ride in the comfort of their limits.. your wonderful GTR is capable of so much more.
It should give you comfort to know that should you get in a bit hot, just tip it in, clench, and gently apply some thottle... something magical will happen and the GTR will lean over like a Moto GP bike and fire you out of the corner, such is the poise, grace and balance.
It will happily go right off the tread on the back, and down to about 2mm on the front.....   

Of course this could just be the BLACK ones...

Mr mogster. it's not a case of riding within one limits with the gtr1400. I bought the gtr1400 for touring and comfort not to race around corners with my knee down. I buy bikes for what their intended for, so prefer supersports for those sunny sunday blasts. which is why I've just p/x the zzr1400 for a "new" zx6r. but that doesn't mean I'm going to race round like a man possessed either! like my signature states..! I'm getting on now, but not yet passed it which basically means, you can still have fun without meeting your maker to soon..!  seriously thou, I've had many supersports over the years, which include.. 2xcbr600's, 2xgsxr600's, zx6r g2, zx636cf6, and zx7r and up to 5 years ago I did track days regularly. I don't intend on tracking the new zx6r but I do miss that style of riding, so decided to buy another supersport. I also found that the zzr1400 and the gtr1400 are very similar in many ways and the fact that I've had the zzr1400 for 4 years and now feel it's run it's course, so decided it's time to move on

No offence meant Mr 2kwacks, I usually ride in proper manner on the GTR as I have the Tuono fer Hooning, all i was saying is that the GTR has a fine chassis and is well balanced, so it is capable of chasing down, passing and humiliating sports bike riders...should the devil whisper in your ear.

"Should the devil whisper in your ear" ...... like it lots !

Mr mogster absolutely no offence taken. I opologise if my reply sounded a bit anal, it wasn't meant to sound that way..! I agree the gtr1400 is a fine handling machine. I found that out, last july when myself and a few mates went via the black mountains as part of our cornwall tour, I found on the accasion I did push it harder, it gave me no concerns to worry in that department.
