Funny you should mention that because I got shot down when I questioned all the "allowances" I need to make for the Zed in the forum.
1) 2500 rpm fast idle when cold (easily fixed - but Kawa have marked the adjusters). I stuck a tywrap under the spring (another forum member fix).
2) Clutch feels "weird" with cold oil (like it gently grabs and releases when setting off). It's a "slip and assist" clutch with very light pull.
3) Snatchy throttle (can be fixed by ECU re-flash)
4) Harsh suspension which, despite all the adjustments, is no more comfortable than the SV.
5) The oil change airlock potential problem (mine was fine).
6) Clunk when changing from 6th to 5th (irrespective of speed, rev matching etc). This is by far the most irritating for me - I pride myself on quiet, smooth gearchanges but they are not achievable from 6th to 5th on this bike. I've even tried leaving it in 6th to 20mph and it still clunks.
I pointed out that my £5600 SV650 didn't have these issues so why should my £10400 Z900RS? I was informed that these were trivial issues and I should go ride. I may have joined a cult.
