gas tank must have the rubber but they always fall out.. I had the entire tank bracket welded to my gas tank and its super strong now.
I reinforced my fame at the front main cage area mounts.
The bikes had a recall for the valve cover gaskets blowing but if you dont jump your breathers correctly then they will just keep blowing from the pressure.
if your riding the 07 models then you MUST get the "Kit Tensioner" from Kawasaki to fix the cam chain tensioner issue. I ignored the issue because i ride several different bikes and eventually it caught up with me and the chain melted the guides and the plastic clogged the pickup. So do it..
I love this bike but yeah it definitely lacks a little bit of power at times compared to my 09 or the 03-04 models
The only thing i had the most problems with was the brackets that come down off the subframe and mount to the pass pegs.. soo weak. But they fixed that issue this year.
