Sorry if you have seen this a thousand times, I just saw it on another forum and it made me chuckle
Dear Kawasaki.
First let me say, I love my Ninja, however there seems to be a number of problem's that my local dealership seem unable to solve. The performance of the bike is at best subdued and I am often beaten away from the lights by old ladies in their Nissan Micra's. Biker friend's have stopped inviting me on ride out's because of the slow performance of my bike. I have never experienced a wheelie, though I must admit I find it very easy to ground the footrests.
I have followed the centre stand procedure for adjusting the rear chain, however it seems that the chain is always tight. Another problem I have observed is the tyre pressures. I think their must be a misprint in the Ninja handbook as I find I need an extra 10 psi otherwise the handling problems are very bad. That reminds me, when I sit on the bike the rear suspension seems to be quite hard and I feel all the bumps in the road. Is there any way to soften the suspension.
Looking forward to your reply.

I have enclosed a photograph of me on my bike.
