Nice 2015! I just picked up one, myself.

A few tips with the forks.

1. Always adjust pressures in the fork with the front wheel unweighed and off the ground.

2. Before you fill the inner and outer chambers, let all the air out of the balance chamber (the shrader valve at the bottom of the right fork leg).

3. Don't use the pressure settings from your manual. Check out Team Green's recommended suspension settings here on page 21: http://issuu.com/541marketing/docs/2015_teamgreennews

I about just died at the "red plate" remark as I just saw a 40 yr old Facebook friend post a picture of his Thor gear, Monster Kawasaki graphics, red plate #1 from winning the vet B amateur Arenacross 2 years ago. Still rocking the red plate!!!

Sweet ride. I have a 15 Kawi as well. It's gonna look killer with those red plates. Don't forget the Monster graphics. It really ties everything together... Your shop looks sweet too

Wow, can't imagine buying a new bike and not riding it? Different strokes for different folks I guess. Either way, congrats on the bike!

Maybe once but not more than that, bike is useless for resale if the nipples on tires are gone.

I would recommend covering it with a clear plastic tarp as well. Wouldn't want any dust to accumulate on it.
