Would recommend a kpipe if you’re into the barebones feel, no fuel injection like the spade/grom but you get bigger wheels and whatnot but, the spade has that torque and acceleration that the kpipe doesnt

Back in the day, that was very handy if you were being chased by the fuzz at night. Turn the lights off, hold down the PASS button and you have headlights but with no taillight illuminating your number plate.

So I'm told <ahem>

Sounds likely. However unfortunately we don't have light switches anymore

What's the shifter look like on your 2017? Just curious; you probably know from reading posts here that the 2016 models had a linkage kit added to basically reverse the shift pattern the bike came with. I'm just curious if it's still that way on the 2017 model.

There are some clever, bold folks here who have done things with their K-Pipes, like changing the gearing. I'm trying to resist until I get a few more miles on mine. I'd like a higher top end, but I don't like how it already struggles on hills even with the stock gearing. I do like the 93-95 mpg I'm seeing so far. The one thing I've done was remove the Kymco lettering off the tank. The all-caps lettering just looked too generic and clunky to me, and I prefer a naked look on any bike. I also removed the K-Pipe logo that's under the seat. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't removed the K-Pipe decals; I especially wish I hadn't used acetone to clean up glue spots, as I found out the black there is a thin layer of black paint over a white plastic, and comes off easily. Luckily, it's a generic flat black.

I am looking for suggestions for a windshield. The only one I've seen pictured on a K-Pipe is the Puig Rafale, which isn't for me.

The shift pattern is all the way down for Neutral and up is up, but there isn't a heel part of the shifter if that's what you're curious about. When I first did some reading about the bike prior to getting it I noticed the recall.

I haven't done much to the bike but remove the kpipe stickers from one side but am planning on changing the muffler soon and some lights and now that you speak of it the gearing could be soon after. I have almost 500 miles and am going for the oil change soon hopefully iA. Which grade of gas do you use? 

Thanks a bunch will be sure to do!
