Kx 450 2014 1 hour failure today

(1/3) > >>

Clintc:
Just bought a 2014 kx450 just run in
Acted funny before tabletop then locked up
I started it rode cautiously back to main pits and then
Started making a squealing noise then it started overheating
I turned it straight off and pushed it back
Pretty embarrassing for a brand new bike

Just sold my crf 450 13 never a problem

Has anyone else had this problem?
I want to give bike back to dealer.

sandblaster:
Man that's a nightmare story.
Take it back to the dealer... NOW!
Sorry to hear it.

ID KX500:
How many hours? Have you serviced it? All fluids up? What did the dealer do to it during assembly? If it is manufacture defect kawasaki will stand behind it. Could happen with any brand,,,Kawasaki is a good choice.

perfectly stated.

KXDINO:
These kx450 are pretty reliable , the only thing I heard was a owner put a oil filter back to front and seized it , but took about a hour to do it. if it a fault with the bike ,kawi should come to the party, I recall once that Honda allow 1 in every 1000 machines to be a lemon, and what I see crf break more than any other brand ,having 2 separate oil compartments ,were people forget to change oil, and the d**n valves that would wear out in no time especially if the air filter was neglected as well as the to light of a transmission that would slip in no time at all, gears to weak ,they upgraded these parts as well because they new there was a problem, all bikes have troubles ,I sure there a good reason behind this failure.
