Is it asking too much

Post by cargo »

Is it asking too much to expect that owners of Kawasaki motorcycles would realise that the place to buy parts for that Kawasaki is a Kawasaki dealer ?

I have posted my last answer to a question on here.
Never again will I go searching for parts in my workshop for people only to never hear from them again
No more looking up in the manuals for answers to questions and posting links
No more free parts yes I have sent parts to people on here free at cost to me


I absolutely refuse to help anymore of the brain dead morons using this forum

I just read this in the middle of teaching algebra to kids in care and snorted loudly!! how inappropriate of me! :pmsl Totally agree with the sentiment though - I was in a similar situation when I had my GS500. I know I'm quite sporadic at posting but hope I don't fall into the above category!

Cheers for brightening my day Cargo!!

Hello been a while............

Not much has changed

Front tyres with 7psi in and he wonders why the handling is funny

people who still can NOT grasp the simple concept that Kawasaki dealers sell Kawasaki parts

faulty camchains that suddenly change into faulty gearboxes

And the real gem.........some complete idiot who wants to ride his bike with NO rear brake....... this person needs to hand his licence back and never drive a vehicle again a complete danger to himself and every other road user thank goodness he doesn't live anywhere near me.

.........or the amazing concept that 2nd hand parts might actually be available from a breakers if someone were only to get off the bleedin' computer for 5 minutes, pick up the phone and ring round a few. Instead of which people post up requests for parts on here as if they're searching for buried treasure.

it sounded like the cam chain was rattling its head off thats why i stripped it down before posting, then put it back together for another try

i agree there are some numpty questions asked but i didnt consider mine to be like that

ahh well ill go and sit in the corner with my dunces hat on :smt010

I do apologise, I genuinely didn't think to go to a Kawi dealer, since our bike isn't exactly a current model.
I apologise that I am 18, and don't have years of experience telling me all the answers.

What is the point of a forum where you cannot ask questions?

It's not here to answer simple and obvious questions to be honest.

It can't be THAT obvious, if SO many people need to ask it?

Are you shitting me?

Really?

You didn't think that it would be a good idea to contact a Kawasaki dealer about a Kawasaki bike?

And to think they say "the children are the future".....
