Has anyone hear of a problem on the Kaw 650's with the aluminum awing arm assembly bending? I hear a rumor today that a few riders have experienced this problem but everyone I know who is riding the 650's have had no such problem. Just curious if this is an issue we should be concerned with.

Looking at how stout they designed it I would find it hard to believe. I would say you would be more likely to bend the rear axle before bending the swingarm.

I agree that's why when I heard that I thought I would post it to determine if the guy was full of BS or not. I posted the message on several forums and no one else has had the problem so I'd say it stays in the BS column.

Hey ScootDog, Thanks for thinking of us. It's a very slow process working with the insurance compaines put we are making progress. Hopefully they well start rebuilding the house in the next week or so. It get extremely frustrating at time put we have learned to just take it one day at a time.

Oldmanwheeler, I see that you have a 360 on order. What is the MSRP? Or did they just give you a ball park figure? Thanks.

Fortunately I have a dealer that takes very good care of us so I just told him I wanted the first one he got in. My son and my wife will ride the 360 so I wanted something that they could handle and I could trust.
