That’s terrible to hear!! Hopefully like you said, it was just a fluke. I can remember if it was somewhere in the beginning of this thread or somewhere else where I read someone’s oil pump gear went out on their ‘24 with very little hours on it. But then again I’ve also read where other manufacturers have had similar things...

The last few posts about Keefer’s fuel and ignition settings is the old 24 kx450 one. He since went a complete different direction with the fuel and ignition settings. He said in stock form the bike is rich. In his podcast he mentions you can email him for the new settings with the stock ECU. It’s a very different mapping for fuel and a slight change on Ig. I have the numbers but it’s not my place to post them. After that, he’s now testing the vortex.

Been trying to find plastics myself. As well as a Ti-6 complete system. Pro Circuit told me “sometime this month” but I haven’t heard anything from Acerbis.

The bike is awesome. I have 20 hours on mine. The PC pipe made the biggest difference and a vortex from TD made it even better. No rubber grommet and no holes drilled. I did go back from a 51t to a 50t after the mods. Its surprising how smooth and long 2nd is with the pipe and ignition. The bike does vibrate a good amount. I have had the exhaust side subframe bolts come loose and the seat bolts loosen up. I really cannot complain about this bike. It is my first green one coming from a GG 350...

Also a lot of problems. Aren’t actually problems. Just people hypothesizing.

That’s because only the people with “problems” are in here posting. I can guarantee there are way more people out there having a very positive experience with this bike that just aren’t in here posting about it.

Yeah, don't sweat it, this bike rips. If you hear otherwise they are most likely C riders 🤣

That sounds great! I'm compiling my list while I'm away and checking all the sites for available parts in hopes I can get everything ordered and at home ready when I get back stateside. And that definitely makes sense on the zinc in the break in oil. I've built a couple old engines for a couple of my older truck/Jeep...

I appreciate it. That definitely makes me feel a little better. Sucks that I can't be home at the moment and get to riding it. As for now I can only sit and read and watch videos and so on. They all have their own special pros and cons so it's good to hear you are enjoying it so far...

I'm coming from a 23 yz450f and 23 350sxf (which I still own). With 12hrs on this new kx it's definitely not perfect but it's better than my previous bikes, don't stress you made the right call 👍

It's a badass bike. Throw a pipe on it and do the airbox kit and remove the grommet and the foam from side cover.. Oil is pretty nasty yes, but it's going to be dark after the first change. All my bikes looked like this, almost lol. But it only holds 1.2 quarts. Kawasaki adds zink to the break in oil, maybe it's darker because of that, who knows. Oil is clear now after riding it a bit. Going to sound like a bommer lol, but I've been riding since 1980....50s, 80s, 125s, 250s, 450s, liter bike's, GS1250 BMW, S1000RR...

Man that does seem pretty dark. I haven't had a chance to even fire mine up. I got it home from the dealership back mid-February and unfortunately had to drain the fuel, remove the battery and cover it up in my garage due to having to fly out for my job for a few months. Bummer for sure to get...

It's worth it. Just take your time, 2 hours max. It took me about 45 minutes? But I've been rebuilding transmissions for a thousand year's so I'm probably a little faster than average guy. Make sure to line up the notch in the intake clamp! Need a flash light
