I finally got my 14 back after this recall. The torque check on my bike failed so they had to remove the motor to inspect the frame. The real problem at this shop was that they wouldn't start the work until the replacement bolt kit came from Kawasaki and they had eight other 14s waiting in front of mine. So the bike sat for almost three weeks waiting. During that time the managed to scratch the crap out the lower right fairing and it looked like someone drug their foot over the tail cap when getting on the bike to move it around.
Fortunately, I caught those when they pushed the bike out for me to ride it home. The fairing scrape would have been hard to miss. But when I bitched they went straight to the parts counter and ordered me a new fairing and tail cap. So I guess they are making it right.
I'm past break in so I finally got to open this beast up on the ride home. The scratch didn't slow it down much.
What an eye opening experience. I may have to go to a walk-in clinic to see if they can get this grin removed from my face.
