I’m not chasing weight savings. I go through the bike out of curiosity what could be improved. The coolant pipe looked like low hanging fruit to do something “factory”. The same principal can be said for your FMF muffler. No doubt even if i removed 5 lbs I wouldn’t tell on the track, especially when 10lbs of dirt is easily accumulated on the bike in a moto.

The changes to the frame make the bike more “flickable”, so as strange as it may sound, it feels lighter on the track than the previous gen. I had a 2019 before I bought this.

Just rode a gritty sand track up here in Minnesota and this bike is groovy af! Checked the air box after every time on the track and nothing got through into the air box at all. I’ve kept stock gearing and she pulls amazing out of corners. 3rd and 4th gear all day long. Downshifted to 2nd once because I came into the corner kind of wonky. So much fun to ride and doesn’t yank your damn arms off. Favorite Kawi I’ve ever had.

I'm running 51 and very happy with it. With opened airbox, baffles removed from exhaust and 51 rear the power on this thing is almost perfect. Can run 3rd/4th everywhere, does need a little clutch in tightest of corners but still pulls very nice.

I think too many people are stressing about things that do not even need to be stressed about. There are no sealing issues at all with this bike. Unless, you don’t put the filter in the cage correctly and most aftermarket filters assist any kind of issue. Take out the grommet, remove the baffles in the stock silencer, or get an aftermarket silencer and it’ll be more than we all need, again. This bike is literally amazing, and will treat anyone well.

Just pulled the trigger.
