This beats every weird comment/question!

A guy asked me if I have a camber kit on my bike...then suggested I get one.


He was serious.

It's used on cars to influence the handling characteristics and tire wear.

Viewing from the front or rear....


And you can see why this would NEVER be used on a motorcycle.

If your tire are filled with genuine Kawasaki air, you don't need the camber kit!

I've also found that I get much better visibility and safety when my blinker fluid is changed regularly.

Lots of negative camber in the front allows me to keep up with my buddy Sebastian Vettel's F1 car on the corners.

That's funny! I actually know people who would go out and look for blinker fluid!

Also pretty important to make sure that you have seasonally adjusted your tires.
