I bought my 650 over a six weeks ago and have been waiting patiently for the hitch to get here.
WTF ???? Did they have to go out and MINE the ore to smelt the steel to produce the bracket ????
Kawasaki can't have belived that they weren't going to sell a bracket with 95+% of the quads they sold.
Am I the only one who's patients is wearing thin ???

I've already paid for the hitch bracket, and six weeks is a bit long to wait for a couple of pieces of steel welded together. I can understand that a dealer can't keep every concivable part on the shelf, that's why there are warehouses.
If I wanted poor service I'd have bought a Yamaha from the local dealer.
My complaint is that Kawasaki didn't anticipate that over 95% of these quads were going to need a trailer hitch bracket, therefore they're on backorder.
No sniveling from here, I'm a firm believer in good customer service. That's what my customers get and that's what I expect.

Picked up my hitch Friday and installed it. I found removing the rear wheels helped to install. I did not drain the gear box, the only place to be careful is on the left side, the shaft seal can be inadverntly pulled off.
