ResidentEvil, I saw that last night. I can only think that Kawasaki didn't mean for this thing to be slapped on the dyno with almost no miles, filled with 0-wt oil, and run like you're trying to break it. It's not a whole new engine. They just updated it, same as with the Gen II Busa. I doubt if there's a defect, but I'm sure Kawi will take care of it if there is.
