Linked brakes came [automatically/mandatorily] with the gen2 (2010+) ABS system. I do know that.
Now I'm starting to wonder about the switch gear on the left bar. It should have the meter change button that was formerly for the flash to pass, but no abs or trac buttons yet still have the newer flash to pass Incorporated in the Hi/lo beam switch. That might be another unique part.
Just to keep the talk going, what was with the reduced power models that were available in Europe? Anybody know anything about those? I mean who or why would anyone buy one of those?I don't recall the exact specifics... But I believe many European countries had power-to-weight restrictions for "newly" licensed riders. Basically if you had your motorcycle endorsement/license for less than X number of years, you were limited in how powerful a motorcycle you could operate.
Were they just for safety testing purposes government only models and not available to the public or what?

Yes, but the '10 non ABS doesn't have Traction control nor linked brakes, and it has part number 43095-0501 (front brakes) that to the best of my knowledge no other model of C14 and perhaps no other Kawasaki bike uses. This is all based online part fiche research (rainy days) so it's accuracy is based on that. There may be a different meter for that model as well that no other bike uses.

That might be another unique part. I can see why mama Kaw quit doing that in '11.I'll have to get back to you on that one. It seems the windows are there, with no lamps, but I'll make sure.
Jimmymac, does your meter/dash have the ABS and Traction control lights (non functioning) on the tach?
I think it was amazing that 9 pages of dialog took place, and the O/P only has one post to his name, the original post....
And now it appears to be gone.
They'll settle with a confidentiality agreement.
The OP answered my PM. OK, I was wrong, it's called a non disclosure agreement, but yes it was settled and, no he can't talk about it.
Just be on the look out for any changes in the warning stickers and / or in the owners manual on the 2019’s.
I certainly hope you are right about that. There being a 2019 edition that is.
