Welcome to Kawasaki.com[/URL]

Just was checking the link and has got this information, sharing the same if required. This site is for US users, hence may not be for indian delivered bikes.


The vehicle identification number (VIN) on motorcycles, ATVs, MULE™ utility vehicles, Teryx™ recreational utility vehicles or hull identification number (HIN) on personal watercraft is unique to each unit. No two are alike.
VINs have 17 digits. They look like this: JKAVFKA16VB508039.
HINs have 12 digits. They look like this: KAW46436J697.
Each Kawasaki product line has a distinct VIN location. The exact location for these numbers on your particular model is illustrated in your owner’s manual near the front of the book. They also appear on your registration documents.
or can check as shown below :

Motorcycles: You will find the VIN stamped on the steering head, below the handlebars.

Pune has delivered total 15-16 Ninjas till date and now the first lot is over. The last bike is ready for delivery and will be delivered either today or tomorrow. Second lot is expected after more than 4 months.

@ Trustviswas,
During the booking time, I had specifically asked the main guy in the PBK showroow the time frame for import of lots and he had confidently said "every three weeks". (thats on Nov 09). Waiting for another 4 months ???.

Need to call up these guys and do some kick ass tomorrow.!!!

Guess these guys grossly underestimated the demand for the Ninja!!

Folks,

As far as I know, there is no confirmed news on the first lot and next lot stuff. All that PBK guys can do is give out an update based on the 'news' that they come to hear of. Please don't come to conclusions on delays or quicker deliveries. Yes, they did tell me 135 day waiting period and all that, but that is for them to be on the safer side. When I purchased both my 220 as well as my Ninja, I had them delivered in less than the estimated waiting time.

I know Bajaj hasn't been top notch with quality, but they are a smart company. Their recent strategies have pushed up sales to a very high extent. I'm convinced they won't be foolish enough to lose a market with customers wanting to buy their premium bikes. They will have better answers for all of you who are waiting, just be patient.

If you have paid up, be patient to get your bike some time soon. Cancelling will only make you lose 4k. If you are keen on purchasing this bike, I'm sure it wouldn't make any difference even if you had to wait. Don't worry, this is a premium bike and even if you did purchase it after a year, your bike will still be a rare sight on the roads!

My speedometer drive is out of lubrication AGAIN
For the second time in a month and it leads to a very annoying squeaky sound. Once I lub it the sound disappears. Anyone else with this problem ?

^^Gear oil being thicker works admirably.
