Cotton is right. That Kaw just doesn not sound right. Even when reved up high it didn't sound like it was running correctly. Have you been on another big Kaw before. Just wondering if you have anything to compare it to. Hard to say what is wrong just going from the video but I think everyone will agree that it does need some attention.

Harley Davidson- Turning gas into noise without the harmful affects of horsepower for over 100 years.

That is the bike I destroyed last year. It ran a lot better before the accident. WG did the carbs and when he gets back I'll get him to listen and his thoughts. The bike pulls hard above 6K rpm. Just as I mentioned in my original post it sounds a little flat.

Just doesn't scream like it should and also sounds a little funny coming off throttle. Harley Davidson- Turning gas into noise without the harmful affects of horsepower for over 100 years.

As long as I kept my legs closed up on the pods it would smooth out. But when I would take my legs away from the pods it would bog down and stumble. Just an observation while riding. Richard Z.

GPz750KS Topic Author Offline User Posts: 140 Thank you received: 2	Sorry, but it was either the gauges or the track. I thought the video of the track would be better than the gauges..LOL The highest revs was 9500 rpm and top speed was around 110 on the front straight. hope that helps.. Richard Z.
