parts not available
anybody else try to get OEM parts, like missing stock fasteners etc. The parts man @ Kawasaki was shocked to see how many things are not available yet?

Not surprising - always been that way with new model bikes/cars etc...especially when they rush to get it OTD.

so what would happen if it was a part that would keep you from using the bike for an extended period?

I have been waiting on a rear pressure sensor for a month also and a LH headlight adjustment knob. Dmill, you are right about it being a really important part. We would be on foot or riding a different bike. It took a month to get the nut that fell off the triple.

Kawasaki is one of the best motorcycle manufacturer's in the industry in terms of stocking replacement parts inventory in my experience. They stock a "broad range" of parts and "deep in supply". Do they run out of a part now and then....SURE, they all do.
If you want a real parts headache......buy an Italian bike.

when the ZX14 came out I was one of the first in FL to get one and the dealer warned me "don't lay it down or break it, there will be NO parts available for quite some time"
