well, it all boils down to this, **** happens, maybe the bike was built on a monday or a friday. My CBR has some issues it's notorious for, well, i found honda bikes in general have crap for valvetrains (particularly cam chains and tensionsers), my little CT70 died of a bad automatic chain tensioner, my XL185 cam chain tensioner snapped at a pivot point, shredding mmy cam chain into 4 pieces and bending a valve, and I hear the Hurricane has some issues... I dont' know what the issues with gixxers are, but I'm sure there are some too... so in all fairness nothing is perfect and don't pick on the flaws too much

 

The ZX-10 is a tough bike....Now if Kawasaki can figure out how to keep the weight where it is now but not at the cost of safety (Cutting corners on the frame) then it would be an even better bike!

 

there aint nuthin wrong with kawi's... [:-]

 

its seems to be an isolated incident
Kawi is as good/as bad as the rest of the sportbike makers

i've owned zx-9rs and zx-7rs - they'd run with the best of the pack all day

 

all the stuff out now is so bad as5...love technology...anyone here had a bike from the 90s...how about the 80s? Love my CBR, but I'd ride a zx-10.
