PR3 Vibes Anyone??

[Darren33]

Cheers for your input WS. I have it booked in again with J&S next Tuesday for the mechanic to test ride again doing what I did.  If I get no joy I will be calling Kawasaki Uk Technical to see if they can shed any light.

Its a shame none of you live close by so I could let ya ride it back to back with yours and see if they are the same or if mine is as bad as I think.

Quick Update regarding Bike. It is going Monday.

have bought a Triumph Explorer 1200

Test rode it today for 80 miles and it is great.

IMHO, Kawasaki have made a worse bike from 2010 onwards.  Should have kept my old one but nevermind. It has all worked out ok.

Have a few bits to sell now in the Marketplace to help fund some panniers for the Trumpet.

What a shame, but if the bike wasn't right for you then you have made the right decision. Out of interest my 2010 bike had the vibes which its predecessor (2008 model) and its successor 2011 model didn't have, I know that's no consolation but it is a fact.

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the Tex, maybe you can post some pictures for us to see

and it doesn't mean that you can't still visit and post on this forum

Good luck with the explorer. 

I went the other way.. Had an Explorer... Now have a GTR

Its funny because I had sort of accepted the GTR as just being a bit vibey and was just gonna crack on and ignore it as I love the bike. I still think she would have benefitted from the throttle bodies balancing but J&S could not be bothered to humour me and do them.

Maybe I am just too picky and ended up being paraniod about something that was not actually a problem?????  Probably.

Anyway, out of impulse I booked and test rode the Tex and found it to be perfect for my size. Its tall, wide and has a huge road presence. We just clicked staright away and I was so surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

So I decided what the hell, ya only young once, jump in and have a change.

I still love the GTR and would have quite happily kept her but was just blown away by the big trailee.

I will post some piccies when she arrives next week.
