Bike riddle guess the bike

[oldbird]

reading another site guess the bike with these problems i read 1 Bike running hot
2 rattle on start up
3 low RPM knocking (dealer said ride it and see what happens)
4 lack of low end torque
5 one minor recall
6 one tranny stuck in second gear
can't think of anymore right now but looks like a few bugs to work out .

The biggest gripe from most the guys over there is that very annoying and noticable lack of power below 5000 RPM. Of course after 5000 all h#ll breaks loose, but as one rider said, 95 percent of his real world riding is done at less that 5000 RPM!

I would be surprised if they have a trans problem

, Kaw is known for having rock solid trans. My buddy,who just bought one, is very pleased with his. Although he hasn't ridden it much yet, just under a 1000 miles now

we had a few minor probs, back in 99~01, do not remember, what it was...but when the new model
comes out, have some nicks and dings around...nothing special...nuff said.
