    The only problem I've heard has been a few isolated cases of bad steering stem bushings. Seen two of them already like that. Haven't heard much about that online though. Kawi is taking care of those cases though.

    The gas tank is recalled.........I was hoping mine wasn't going to do it but as I went to get it out of the garage today there was gas everywhere. Takes a month to get a new tank ordered through the shop.

    Mine hasn't leaked either since day one when I bought it in March, but I'm not gonna risk it. Yeah same thing for me, I was the only one so far to turn mine in, in this city. The guys at the dealership had told me that they had just got the notice that the KFX450R was on recall, so they had to order the parts because Kawi hasn't sent them any yet. The guy also told me that they also were going to replace the the o-ring and fuel pump too along with the tank, but I think he's wrong. I thought the recall was just for the tank. Anywho, they said it won't be ready until sometime next week. Thats sucks because I want to ride.
