hopefully just a color change. I would be bummed if they completely updated the thing just as I'm starting to sink some money in to my "new" A14. What would we do if KHI fixed everything that we can complain about? Sorry I'm just being selfish...go ahead bring on the 60hp ,250lb, inverted fork, 6speed, gear driven counter balanced, huge front braked, adjustable ride height optioned 7000$ 2003 KLR650..A17!!!!!!!!!!!

Any changes?

I doubt that Kawi will update the bike. I'd be a bit disappointed since I just bought mine but then I'd rather own the last model of a series rather than the first model in a new series. The only thing I foresee in the future is a rebadged DRZ 400 model.

Only on an A5 with no grease in the pivot

Twelve beers later and one can of Kroil Oil, not sure if I am either

before.;-) I agree that endless chains are a bit better, but ASSuming that newer chain constructions are close to equal, I am taking the easy way out on this maintenance. Back to the garage for now.... Brian A5-SIP (Still in Pieces)
