might as well get a z400 or kfx. same thing with a cushier seat.</end quote></div>

Kawi doesn't carry the 400 any more, so that makes the choice a little easier. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

My pick, whoever is cheaper.

Yeah the seat is different. I'm not familiar with the kawi's seat but the suzuki's seat is so much more comfortable and the back of the seat is wider.

is the seat different than zuki and kawi?</end quote></div></end quote></div>

I think my Kawi is closer to the DVX seat.

Doesn't really bother me, but has anyone ever thought about taking their seat to an auto upholstery shop?

Couldn't be too much to have them pad and recover it.

Much cheaper than 1000 bucks on the swap out.

hey Scootergptx, Yeah I thought about taking it to an apoulstery shop but haven't looked into it yet. That's most likely what I'll do it will definitely be cheeper than a $1000 bucks.

Meh, fenders are cheap and easy to find. Subframes on the other hand arent cheap, hopefully i can find a good on on ebay [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I have the airbox lid off now. I had a 155main in it before with the lid on, got an outerwares cover for the airbox so i took the lid off. Bumped up the main to 160 and now she flys. The snorkel is the piece of plastic that is hooked on to the plastic pipe right behind your gas tank. With it off its a little less air restrictive, and doesnt let much more dirt in.


the kawi seat is close to the dvx one but the Z400 one is a "T" shaped seat. Much more comfy and better for wheelies [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].

If you go down one size on the main jet you could run with the lid off. Keep it off though, bike has way more power and just get an outerwares cover for the airbox to keep the crud out.
