Spark asks for the packing to be checked every 15,000 to 20,000 kilometres, or sooner if the box changes colour — a discolouring box is packing that has been running hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRepack or Replace\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost manufacturers offer only the second option.

Removing it and fitting carbon changes nothing functionally — both keep heat off the leg equally well — and changes the look of the right side of the bike entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original is worth keeping.

A rider planning to fit both should know now that they are mutually exclusive rather than discover it with two boxes open on the bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree Hundred and Twenty Grams\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a small number in absolute terms and an extraordinary one as a proportion. The reason is the original: Kawasaki fits a heavy pressed shield here, sized to keep the silencer away from a passenger's leg, and it is one of the crudest parts on an otherwise well-finished motorcycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplacing 350 grams with 30 will not change how a 212 kg naked bike rides.
