That seems to be another 08 issue, with guys from varying climates too. Finally, make sure your rear swingarm pivot is greased, Kawi doesn't seem to apply enough back there.

In case you can't tell, I've been trying to find every issue with the 08, because I really want one
Yeah I have been reading those. Already found out about the rubber with my windshield grommets. I bought some already to replace them. The bike is fun to ride. You should get one.
