No Parts availability-vaquero

andyismarine · 11-02-2017, 07:27 AM

bought a Brand New 2016 a few weeks back. Rode it a little over a thousand miles in 6 or 7 days then started having some clutch issues. bled the clutch out, (very dirty oil, looked like coffee) worked good for another day or so. then started again. Took it into the dealer and they troubleshot it down to a bad master cylinder, rebuilt it (twice) and its still doing the same thing. so they ordered a master cylinder from Kawasaki....had to wait three days...then they said it was on back order... so i was frustrated to say the least. Now Kawasaki is telling them (and Me) that they don't know when the "release Date" will be for anymore of the master Cylinders. i've called them four or five times and have stayed in touch with my dealer also.

question is does anybody have any experience with anything like this? ive never had issues with getting parts for the MeanStreak I have, but maybe its just too new?
Dealer said that it may be a recall in the works? or they depleted the stock trying to put together the 2018's?
