some other guys have reported the popping disappearing during break-in, too.

i search ebay for "kawasaki brute" once a week or so and that will pull up a couple of the auctions for caps (usually sold in sets of four)

I had the popping and a change of plugs cured that problem. I think the stock plugs from the factory were weak, it had more power after that.

I have to agree with the others here - all manufacturers have lemons. Personally can vouch for Kawasaki builds.
I have 2 Kawi ATVs - BF650 and KFX400, I have two friends with BF750s, one with a P360, and another with a KFX400.
No problems here.

I'm surprised the Kawi rep mistreated you... As far as the lemon thing goes, it happens, every company in the world will have an occasional lemon, the difference in whether you stay a customer or not is how they handle your particular case. Me personally, Kawi offered me an additional 48 months on my machine because it too back fired out of the gate.

That's typical if you are from south of the mason dixon line they will give you 18months, north they will give you 48months! The two things I learned from this, be careful about who you buy from, somone posted, shop the dealer, not the quad, very true!!! Second people are so brand concious they won't tollerate any negativity about a brand EVEN IF IT'S TRUE!!!! The good thing is I rode it finally about 15miles today and it finally seems solid!!! Last to my buddy in california(KAWA REP) You know who you are, I told you I had posted here, IF YOU ARE EVER IN GA LOOK ME UP!!!!
