Thanks Doebag I e mail the number to them.

I am just asking any one on the form if they know if the number stamped on the main ignition key and the little side out key in the back of the  main transponder fob is the key number.

I have lost one of my spare key fob and the garage are asking for the key number to get the key it comes with the new fob cut.


Thanks

Only reason it going in is to keep the warranty for the bike. 

Hi all just a quick question my GTR  is going in for it 11750 service just wondering what people have been paying at dealership. 

Thank

Well been to the dealer he looked at the bike for all of 30 seconds and took some pictures and sent them off to Mr K and his reply was not positive.

Customer services have stated that the warranty is there to cover manufacturing defects not what they call wear and tear from road grit and even stated that the paint coming off the arm may have been caused buy the person that fitted the rear hugger. When I pointed out it was fitted buy a Kawasaki dealer  when I bought the bike they come back with that nothing to do with Kawasaki UK I would have to talk to the dealer and would not accept that if that was the case it would have flacked off a long time ago not over the last few week.

So I looked at the arms again and found the other side is also starting to flake and in areas that are no where near any tool that would be used to fit the hugger. So I did a bit digging and found the CEO E mail address and sent him an E mail and got a reply back  with in 3 hours from him personally.

Will be hearing from him on Wednesday to see if there are going to do any thing with the issues.

I have to renew the warranty on the 2 April and I just not sure it going to be worth spending £395 for them then to hit me with this all this time.

Has any one else seen this  problems on there  GTR. 

Hi

Was washing the bike today and came across this on the rear hub and the strut that makes up part of the swing arm.

Just wondering if any one else has seen this on there bike.

I  have sent an E mail to Mr K to see what he thinks.

The bike is less then 2 yrs old and done less than 8K miles and been looked after so I would not expect to see this on a 13K bike.

Well mr k uk said he is happy to fit a new exhaust but the rust on the disks is just surface rust and will rub off. Does he not think I have tried that.  So bike going to be deep cleaned and he can have an after picture that will show the same old rust. But on a honest note from people who use there bike in all weathers do you have disks like this or am I being over the top on it .

Or maybe you could be less critical there is only 3 kawasaki dealers in scotland  I not sure what else you could do !!!!!!!

The 60 mile ride in the rain to the dealer is why the bike is dirty. Like you I agree with washing the bike after a ride but I dont carry a bucket and hose when I go to the workshop so I can wash it round the corner. 

Guys I use my bike every day come rain shine snow the wheels where cleaned last week. She gets washed twice a week with muck off and a low power hose and is treated with anti corrosion spray. But living in scotland it was only last month they stopped putting salt down and this is when salt is at its most corrosive.  I not sure the dealer would have been to impressed if I was washing the bike before I took it to the shop and I had to ride through a very heavy rain storm to get there hence why the bike looks its  covered in crap. 

Well thats the issues been raised with Kawasaki in Kirkcaldy who will sent it off to MR K UK to see  what they think of this  rust bucket.

HI every one just a quick question has any one had a problem with paint flaking of the Exhaust and very rusty brake disks. I know we have had a hard winter but i would not expect this problem on a bike that is only 11 months old. Was going to approach Kawasaki to see about warranty work but thought i would put it out to the forum first will add pic in a bit as i up at silly o clock.

Thanks guys will go with what been said been away from Dundee for 23 yrs and transferring back in march so looking forward to getting some miles done in the area.  Are you guys members of any local groups that have ride outs.

Hi all just a  quick question to ask if any one can Recommend  a dealer to get my bike serviced around the Dundee and Angus area looking on the internet it will either be Aberdeen or Kirkcaldy has any one used either of these dealerships.

I was Riding home this evening along the A47 in Cambs when i saw a bike pulled in by the boys in blue the cop was on a blue un marked GTR all fitted up with covert lights so be careful.
