Default The Kwak is poorley!!

aghhhh

My 6R has developed a bloody oil leak from the fron of the engine somewhere.
Posibly the rocker cover gasket or an o-ring on the cam-chain position sensor, according to digging on other foums!!

Its going into George whites under warrenty for them to strip it down and look, TO say i am fu*8ked off as its 8 months old is a bloody understatement.

It will be in there for an undetermind amount of time. It better be out soon as i was planning to go away for a weekend soon!!

Gutted at least its under warranty.........not what you need at all when the weather is starting to pick up though.

You will buy these £5000 kawasaki's because they do 84mph in first gear though, should have bought a honda (lol Joke)

Nah I'd ask for SV. More reliable.

Surely it's only a weep so not going to stop you using the bike Neio. I know it's annoying and not what you expect though.

it is only a weep realy but it appears from other Kwak forums it is becoming a bit of a common 'know' problem.

Warrenty will sort it out so not concerned, like you say its not what you expect from a new bike and it ****es me off its in the middle of sumer it happened!! you watch and see it will be clear blue skys for the time its off the road!!

They need to confirm that so need to get a good look at the engine, They said drop it off today and they will look at it ASAP.

I hope it is sorted quickly!!
