Revainrating 5 out of 5

Low power, low top speed, low fuel consumption, change the seals!

My 2008 Kawasaki Vulcan 900, 4500 miles. Very few kilometers but 12 years old. My bike's top speed on the freeway was only 70 miles and I was feeling weak. Even with too much gas. I only got 20.27 mpg because of poor fuel economy. I almost took it to a bike shop for repairs, but I saw a YouTube video showing how to use shims to adjust the valve clearances. I decide to try it myself. I have found that I need to replace 4 seals on my bike. I went to a Kawasaki dealer to buy pads but they tried to charge over $50 for 4 pads. I ordered this full set of pads from Revain for $67. I exchanged these 4 pads after delivery. Doesn't matter! My motorcycle has changed 100%, works like new. Now my bike has more power, goes faster than 110 miles on the freeway and gets 45 mpg or more. I realized that the clearance value is very important on a motorcycle. Whoever has the same problem as my bike, buy these spacers and do it yourself. Save a lot of money and no other mechanic will take care of your bike like you!
