i think honda are just sensible about running an engine in.

Enjoy it.
Shame its not a proper IL4 like a Kwak, but hey

If your Kawk IL4 is different to the Honda IL4 and therefore every other IL4, you should be worried

Infact you should already be worried owning a Kwak......you sorted that oil leak yet

LOL,

the Kwak induction roar is bit nicer . each bike has their traits i suppose.


Yeah it was the rocker cover Gasket, replaced and all ok now. It a common fault on the 07 model. But Kwak wont issue a recall yet.

Abit like the honda rear brake issue, which they didnt issue a recall on until someone died as a consequence which cost them alot.

Get an exhaust......so worth it, the standard can is sooo quite.
Haha yeh they are! I'm trying to fit mine right now, I've even bought the plug n' play thing but I still can't find the damn cable!

Does anyone know where I should put this?



I called up Acumen and they said if you just take the screen off you should see the cable.... I obviously need glasses

I'm looking at getting the laser Xtreme exhaust system. It seems a bit of a waste since the cbr's down pipes are perfect, but they only sell full systems for the cans that I want. Laser should sell slip ons!!!

Pah takes your attention away from what you should be doing......

Yeah Acumen are talking ball...... everyone I have ever spoke to has said you need to remove the front nose cone to get behind the clocks.
