Ours has had 3 heart attacks and complete engine overhauls. A couple neighbors have had engine failures too. It all leads back to Kawi having a known problem with the air filter letting dirt into the engine. If you call and ask them, they deny it in a way you know they know what you're talking about. The area the filter meets up with the front of the air box is where most have narrowed the problem down too. There is an after market filter system, faster fan kit, and a more efficient water pump that is supposedly doing away with the issues and making the motors more reliable. Glad yours has been a good one!  |
Wow. Never heard of any having engine problems before. Mine has been great.
As far as the cold starts go. I know what you mean. I keep a small 5 amp trickle charger going on mine pretty much all the time.
Helps a LOT when your battery is 100%.
