Well Well Well Kawasaki Australia have done something quite interesting.
The dealership said that there is a fault in the factory weld and the photos provided to them they reviewed and have now come back and said they want to see few pictures of all the bike and overall condition of the bike, plus a photo of the Vin plate!
So rather than say NO they want to see a bit more! Perhaps something will happen! mmmmmmmm

Re: Crim and the cracking frame
Good to hear your frame isn't about to fall to bits. I am supprised to hear Kawasaki was talking about a new frame. I must be getting to jaded. Now where are the pix?
Real bravery is being afraid but doing it anyway.

Re: Crim and the cracking frame WITH PICS

Re: Crim and the cracking frame WITH PICS
well you need to write to Apple Computer Coperation and tell them to write some software to give the iPhone camera a decent lens.
Otherwise can't really do much, you can see it vaguely but its only very small.
Plus i can't find teh cable to our proper digital camera so gotta find that before i can upload from better pics!

Try buying a real camera. There's a problem with these highly integrated devices, its a jack of all trades, and master of none.
If it hurts, you aren't doing it right.

Re: Crim and the cracking frame WITH PICS
Depends on the integrated device. I've taken all my pics of the postie with my phone - I'm more than happy enough not having to spend $'s on yet another thing to carry around.mike-s wrote:Try buying a real camera.

The iPhone is the problem - initially release with no camera, then 'finally' released with what - a 1.3Mpxl? - when other phones are integrating 8. He's right - apple is the one to blame.
If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.

Re: Crim and the cracking frame WITH PICS
I wouldn't be too concerned about that, but keep an eye on it.
The welded frames I was refering to was the weld on the underside of the main beam near the front of the tank.
Never heard of a problem with em where your looking.
