I received the fax of the Kawasaki dealer prep checklist from Howard today. THANKS HOWARD! It seems to be a generic Kawasaki list for all their bikes, even has a line about final gear oil. That's OK, I needed something to start with when I go over the bike. I put the file on my server, the link is: http://www.cocorochio.com/images/dealer_prep.gif On modern Microsoft web browsers this looks like hell (Microsoft insists on showing the whole page at once?). For a clearer view, and those that want a permanent copy: Just 'right click' the image and select 'save picture as..' Then remember what you named it and where you put it. You could always just print what you see, and take your chances. If anyone has trouble, or wants a different format, just drop me a line. Actually, if you are partial to 'tif' files you can go to: http://www.cocorochio.com/images/dealer_prep.tif They look the same to me. Thanks again Howard, now folks will be able to tell what a good dealer is supposed to do; most likely folks will just use this for campfire stories about their cruddy dealer. Mike Cocorochio

Ha!!! Under: Customer Delivery operation "explain proper operation, position controls." If dealers went as far as actually getting the controls properly positioned for the size of the buyer then I think there would be just a tad less (justified) complaining about them. It is a good list, but it is also clearly ignored by many/most dealers. -- Doug Herr doug@...

I uploaded a PDF version in the files section (dealer_prep.pdf). --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Cocorochio" wrote:

My wife's Super Sherpa takes 3-4 minutes to warm up fully, but after that there's no hesitation or stumble. Its jetting is stock. Try to ride it before it's ready, though, and it will stumble or stall. Dreas
