CLE checking in

Hi Ninjetters. Joined up because I need a resource for knowledge to meet my GF's bike in order. Bought her a yellow '06 a month ago and she WILL NOT STOP RIDING. She's dropped it a few times but she's coming along as a rider at a crazy pace. I'm so proud of her. She's pushing me into doing dual motovlogs with her now.

Current pressing issue is that I need to replace the stock bars... I think these had been bent, cut and welded before we got the bike. Just want to keep the controls stock. Are they a generic part, or Kawa-only?

Welcome Matt!

I am not aware of any generic bars that will fit. If you can't bend the bar back, then maybe someone around here has a set of stock bars or there is always ebay I guess.

Best of luck and the same to your gf.

I'm glad too! Couldn't get it running smoothly when we bought it. Ended up cleaning the carbs, shimming the needles, and going to a K&N dual pot filter... now it runs like a champ. All thanks to the awesome wiki here.

Nice reference to the Cuyahoga, or Great Lakes Beer, not sure which you're going for with your handle.

welcome from the same neck of the woods.

Mostly the river, but the brewery is worth celebrating too.
