By the way Kawasaki is good at recalls. Toyota also.
My W800 had 3. Fuel pump. Wheels. Wires and intake.
My Prius 4 had also 3....

Vehicles are complex things. Sometimes even too complex for very experienced manufacturers...

Hey Wisedrum, yeah, I miss the hydraulic lifters too, but so far the solids are doing pretty good.

Sh-sh-afts would be 80's era CB for sure.

I don't recall the ol' CBs being much of an issue. However, the Yamaha 1100 Virago really compressed-then-released the rear end on hard acceleration. The ol' CBs didn't have the torque of the Virago.

Nevertheless, shaft is heavier and more expensive, but I like the trade-off, especially given our CB is more of a tourer (vs a racer).
