1) Bad air filters can make starting your bike impossible... but only when you REALLY have to be somewhere.

2) Fairing snaps are really fragile.

3) Epoxy isn't as strong as I thought.

4) The smell sure is.

5) Kawasaki clearly doesn't want people changing air filters.

6) Cycle Barn does not have socket wrenches or flex-wrenches.

One addition.

Driving a bike with a missing foot peg is very difficult.

No it's not, just rest your foot on the hot exhaust!

LOL! Thats exactly what I did. Luckily, I was wearing boots.
If it was the left side tho. Dunno what the hell I would've done.

You would have put your foot on the passenger peg, taken off your front wheel and held the wheel in your right hand and manualed a wheelie all the way home standing up.

I was thinking of a guy I work with that has a wooden leg and rides a Harley.

Things you learn: parts made out of rubber on the carbs or air system will split or crack. When that happens, proper mixture will be impossible to maintain.
