So, as it turns out they couldn't fix it in time. I talked to the dealer yesterday, and here's what they told me. The 5th gear has an oil port on it, and during assembly, they were one spline off on lining up the gear, so the oil port didn't quite line up. At this point, they called Kawasaki technical support to make sure that this would have caused such a large drop in oil pressure. Kawasaki said it would have caused a slight drop, but not the 30 psi that it lost. Their opinion was that all the o-rings on the oil line and the oil pressure release valve needed to be replaced. So, the dealer had to order parts. They are having them overnighted, but as late as it was in the day, the parts won't be in until Thursday, which means that they won't have the bike done until Friday. Since I have to be in Memphis on Saturday for work, I am flying back to Memphis today. Once I know that the bike is done (hopefully this weekend), I will fly back to Denver, pick it up and ride back to Memphis. Here's hoping for them to actually get it done this time...
