2005 Kawasaki W650
Summary:
Lovely classic design, but the Japanese have overcomplicated many aspects of it
Faults:
Nothing up to now.
General Comments:
Replaced standard exhausts with Posh straight-throughs.
Airbox gone, pods instead. Up jet of carbs, sounds and goes like a 60s BSA Thunderbolt. Real nice.
One inch longer spacers in the front forks. No more bottoming on bumpy rides.
Replaced standard size tires with: front 110/90-19, rear 140/80-18; looks and handles better.
Fitted grease nipples to the swing-arm centre and foot brake pivot at the frame join.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
