The bike actually started this morning. The FL light was on for a good 5 seconds after I started the engine and the revs stayed way down at 1k for ages. It almost stalled when I was riding and came to a stop at some lights. After riding for 5 mins the bike was fine and seemed to be behaving normally.

I've left the bike with some clued up Kawasaki mechanics now so they'll find the fault and fix it for me. I'll post the details when it's fixed.

I'm also getting the mechanic to see if I have that manufacturing mistake where they failed to grease the bearings in the hub. My bike squeaks! It could just be the brake pads though.

If I really have had 2 manufacturing issues am I unlucky? Or do a lot of you guys get problems with your new bikes?
