Title: experience with Kawasaki Ireland
Post by: martin_14 on April 10, 2012, 02:00:59 PM
In the upcoming trip to Ireland next month, it seems like I'll be hitting the 42000 km right when I'm around Dublin, where I plan to spend 2 nights. Now Kawasaki's European site says that there is a big dealer there (and nowhere else around). I know it is a long shot but: does somebody have some experience with these guys?
Thanks in advance,
Martín

Tell me you're not thinking of getting it serviced mid trip?  Surely?!

Yes! They will swap your discs for old ones i. e. that have done 4K miles. :mfr_lol:

Later being when/if I buy a GTR.  Stopping is quite important, I now realise   :ohplease: :mfr_lol: :ohplease: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop: :sweatdrop:

thanks a lot, guys. That about settles it, then.  :undecided:
I guess I will take it to my trusty German dealer before or after the trip. Those guys have been great in the past. They even let me try the new zzr last time while waiting for my bike to be ready  :yes:
