If it is that new I would be taking it back to the dealer for them to look at, you may want to try adding some sea foam to the gas to see if that helps.

Got some gas last week that the bike didn't like at all. Same place I've always gotten it from for the cars and other bike. Mileage started to drop about 5 minutes after filling up. Sputtered a bit on the low end.
Put some seafoam in it, and it was at 1/2 tank this morning and filled it up, not at the same station. Already saw the mileage starting to creep back up. Still had a stumble now and then. I'll add some more treatment tonight when I get home. Going to try to get it to a dynotune place sometime in the next two weeks. Can't wait to see what they can do with the bike.

Thanks. I'll try some additive. It seems to be the worst when I'm easy on the throttle. May need to drive it like I stole it.

I disconnected the ground from my battery, turned key to start, reconnected battery cable.
Runs great. No more sputtering. |

My California Vaquero is in the shop as we speak, same issues. They so far have told me that it is normal. Second opinion tomorrow, blah, blah, blah. Which is why I am buying a Honda F6B this weekend and will be selling the Vaquero as soon as I get it back. I have tried EVERYTHING!!! Cobra Tri-Ovals, PCV, plug air valve, Thunder Gasket, K&N air cleaner. Removed it all and it still runs for crap. I am DONE!! Never had any issues like this with Hondas, or Suzukis in the past. Kawasaki needs to get their stuff together.

Aquacop.....reset the ECU? What is involved in that, disconnecting the negative wire on the battery and putting it back on? Just curious, this is a first I have heard...

Had a stumble/miss on my 12 voyager between 1400-1800 rpm. Had a speed healer on it, and diconnected it and stumble went away, can now pull in lower gears from just above idle without a problem.
