Exhaust Gasket - Backorder

[OB_KawAbuser]

Every time I go to the dealer I realise that parts for the bike will not be in stock, but it is sickening that almost everything is a Stinking Backorder. The Japanese writeing on the side of the fairing must mean BACKORDER.
I waited nearly three months for a Yosh system and now the dealer tells me the exhaust gaskets are at least a two week backorder.

Off the subject (kanji translating to "backordered")...

I had a few Japanese visitors (7) here yesterday and I asked one of them what the kanji on the side of my bike meant - he told me in hushed tones that it has only been used twice previously; once for the fastest bird in Japan, and once for the Mitsubishi Hayabusa (WWII prop plane). Kind of embarrassing for him since the war didn't turn out as expected.

Actually that Japanese wrestler "Hayabusa" probably uses it too, but this guy was probably too old to know that.
