A new Pope has been elected? But, assuming this isn't the case...I've had that smell (more like burning leaves) on and off since day one.. So far no ill effects.
I got this for the first time today and thought of this post.
My question is, if you have the GTPP extended warranty, shouldn't this be covered? I have the warranty and need to take the bike in for a service and front brakes (under warranty) next week.
I did get a flashlight and looked in the openings in the fairings when I got home and I do see oil on and around the left, top header bolt.
yeah, it's covered, but the problem is the o-ring they use. It is marginal for sealing that sensor.
The ones I purchased and am sending out are pretty much the tightest fitting ones that will work, and so far we have not had anyone respond that they didn't seal, mine included...
You might want the rings I have if you go in there for repair, and make them put it in for you, and sign off on it....
I have sent a note to Kaw USA tech, outlining the issue, we'll see if they do another recall....
then they will buy up all of the available ones and charge $5 each for them....
