Re: looks like no group ride for me
well I was at sunrise yesterday and one of my tec's and my counter guy over heard one of there tec's telling a costomer the the reason his 4 wheeler was not running becouse the chain was too tight. so that says alot to me. I love aron(owners son) over there but I think some of there tec's are idiots. hope they fix it and dont bend you over...

Yeah, I went by and checked it out later in the evening. Definitely rod knock. I'm thinking they may have screwed up putting internals back together. New motor for sure.

Kawasaki's don't suck, but Scumrise does. My suggestion, don't hold your breath when you take to them. All mine had was a recall on an exhaust can ('03 6R problem), and it took them over 2 months before I got tire of not riding and went and took back my bike.
All I can say is good luck. It doesn't sound like a common problem, but it should be under warrenty, so you should have some luck with that. Hopefully, they will just swap the motor...never did truck their mechanics going inside a motor...
