Sure is purty.

Went through h*ll with the sales people though.They were asking 7k for the thing.The trick is to walk away if you dont feel that your getting a good deal.They will chase you outside and beg you to come back in.Finally got it for $5800.00 out the door,sales tax,registration the whole thing.......$5800.00.

Got it home and figured it would be wise to go over the nuts/bolts ect?Everything was tight.Air filter had no oil.The tires had 20 psi in them!

Removed the dipstick and oil blew out!We hadn't even started it yet!The oil tank was completly filled.

Went ahead and put the dipstick back in and he rode it around the block.

Rechecked the oil and it blew out again!We figured that its just wayyyyyy over filled so we drained some out of the tank untill it was at the full mark.

Rode around the block again and it's right on full.

Goin riding tomorrow,will keep ya'lls posted on how it does and what breaks.

I think the green Z's look the best, though I am partial to kawie green anyways. $7k would have been real high for one, but sounds like he got a good deal. Sometimes I wonder if the guys at the dealerships have any clue about how to work on these things. You give them all this money and they can't even get the oil level right.

WooHoo!

It ran all day! The only fatality was the chain guard.Stupid thing is made from plastic!

Lasted about 45 minutes,came off on the first rock we encountered.

It uses a lot of gas even with the throttle limiter set at 1/2 throttle.We had to head home early because of this....yes the choke was off.

Hoping the mileage gets better as it breaks in.
