Servicing Kats 2019 Ninja 650 that has full Kawasaki main Stealer history ,, and Im livid the dealers mechanic ,, did the rear axle up to 120 ft Lbs when the manual says 61 ftlbs or 82 NM so I had to replace the crushed wheel bearings , with new ones

insane I just wanted to adjust chain and do an oil and filter service ,,,

Kat paid for service last year july 23 including oil and filter , just looked the filter was marked with permanent marker as oil change june 2021 ...... lying bastards ,,,

7mm hose is standard size for Vespa so try a scooter shop - you should be able to get that reasonably local.

I think I be the only one on ebay to actually send him what he ordered?

yes you are ,, but the mirrors are 8mm bolts and too thick for renthal bars , I my be able to modify them or use them on another bike

The good news is im probably gonna be a grandpa by Xmas ,, but that will totally disrupt all my retirement travel plans

[Darren69]

Did you try them with standard bars? I have a similar set on my S4R and they fit fine.

[jerry]

My M750 has standard original year 2000 monster aluminium bars and they dont fit ? but I can use them on something .

[jerry]

And again ordered rear sprocket nuts 10mm x 1.25 Stainless got 10mm x 1.5mm and then I started another refund on Ebay .

I have been rejected , and 3 other pending refunds for wrongly sent items are now frozen ,,,,Ebay say I am ordering wrong ,, but the record clearly shows my orders are correct , part numbers , sizes, dimensions, etc whatever..... but the sellers are sending wrong bits ....???????????

[jerry]

You will love this ,, several parcels of items ordered for me off ebay last week have gone missing , seems they were delivered to an old address that I have not lived in for 2 years ,, but its not a scam ,, its not ebays fault either ,,,,,,ITS PAYPAL their computer??? it dropped my new address and re-instated that old address ,, so im out of pocket so are the retailers .

PAYPAL are stalling right now ,they are trying to blame me ???? but I put latest address into their system in February and my parcels come to me ok from EBAY or internet sales, doubt we can recover the deliveries , it 100miles away???? ,,,

I can get money back of my Credit card but the retailers will be out of pocket and PAYPAL need to sort it out

What a nightmare! But, glass half full.. you're soon to be a grandparent and you've still got a sense of humour (sounds like you need it) and you've got bikes to ride, remember, it's always a good day to be alive, my Monster got me through some tough times, keep your chin up fella.
