Nice. I will have to try that out. Thanks for sharing that.

Nice workaround. Thanks for sharing that. Sounds like it should work until you get the replacement parts for the warranty fix. Be blessed.

Thank you.

I will keep that in mind if I need to pull them off. Thanks and be safe also. Blessings.

Thank you. I try to clean and lube the chain around 500km. I will clean and lube it sooner if I ride through sand or water or if the chain looks like it needs cleaning.

I went through the Givi dealer I ordered the toolbox though. Try going through your local Givi dealer. They should be able to help you out.

You're welcome. 👍

I suspect that the taller windscreen is clear because you have to look through it and Givi might not want the liability when night riding as you might get a bit of glare. How do you like the tank bag?

As you say, I can see the taller one not being smoked, but there is no option for clear in the shorter windscreen. I should be able to see over it though. As for the tank bag, I'd been riding the bike without the side cases on it for the past 3 months, so I had to wear a small backpack. Having the tank bag is so convenient. Even though I wanted the larger XS307, the MT505 will probably do the job, while saving me a few dollars. Still new to me yet, but liking it a lot so far.

Agreed, it would be nice if the shorter windscreen came in both options. I am thinking about the tank bag. Not sure I really need it. I'm not going to rule it out though.

@@NarrowRoadRider I can't see owning a bike without a tank bag again after just that one trip. Well, unless it was an NT750X. I have in it: a face shield cloth, reading glasses, allergy pills and similar medication, snacks, extra earplugs, a small water bottle, and there is still lot more room for things like keys, wallet, sunglasses, light gloves, a hat, etc. More than that, and the side cases can go on. No more bag on my back.

I hear you. The tank bag adds another level of convenience since it's literally right infront of you. I am really considering one now. 😀

I don't have any issues on the highway. At 100km/h (62 mph) the bike is still very stable. Also, the windshield is mounted on the bike not attached to the forks so you don't get the wind vibrations. It made a noticeable difference in the riding comfort.

@@NarrowRoadRider thank you for the feedback. Everyone is fear mongering me saying i will change the bike geometry and aerodynamics. But thanks for the reassurance i will go ahead and purchase it

No problem. I'm sure you will enjoy your rides without all the buffeting.

Your welcome. You will find the rides more enjoyable without the buffeting.

Congratulations on your bike. I hear you on the heated grips. They are definitely a nice to have on those chilly rides. I got the rear stands on Amazon. I have a trickle charger on the Z400 but i didn't put one on the Versus since I take the batteries out when I store the bikes for Winter.

That sounds awesome. Glad to be able to help you by posting the video. Glad to know GIVI is taking care of their customers too.

Will do. I hope you find a bike that meets your needs.

Thank you. It's a great product. I would love to see the release of the brake & turn light kit for this top case.

Thanks bro. Congratulations on your bike. Enjoy your Summer and be safe on your rides also.

Yes. The seller wanted a video of the problem. Hopefully you can get the replacement parts to resolve the issue.

Good tip but in addition, I noticed when I cycle through the gears, I get a better reading on the sight glass after the oil change. Always learning new tips.

That I don't know. You would have to do some research to figure out if you can find an aftermarket rack that works with this mounting system.

Visually they are the same except the piece that goes in the lid has a very small difference in the outside two prongs. I suspect it's the plastic formulation because I noticed I had the problem when the temperature dropped to 16 to 18 degrees Celsius.

Thanks for the info …. Just ordered mine today for a Honda Goldwing F6B…. Hoping I don’t have the same issue 🤗🤞

That sounds good. I hope you don't have this problem but if you do, you know what to do.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't mind this chain lube spray. It does fling a bit. I haven't done any videos on the stands however, I got the front stand at Princess Auto in Canada. The rear stand I got on Amazon. I might do a video on them this Spring when the bikes come out of hibernation.

I'm in Newfoundland, and a Princess Auto is about 4 hours drive away. I'll check out their inventory. I need to get a few items, like the stands, for when it comes home. I've owned my Versys for almost a week, but it is still with the dealer to have accessories added, and to wait for the snow to go.

Princess Auto can probably ship it to you. They have the front stand on sale from time to time maybe $50 - $60. It works really well. I got the rear stand on Amazon that works with spindles and has casters which is quite nice.

Congratulations on your bike.

They have both the front chock and rear stand on for $70 now. Probably a good time to pick them up.

Perhaps let them know you are not satisfied with the solution and the case is still not closing to your liking. They might send out the top part to make it right.

That makes sense especially with the liability factor. Stop by the channel anytime.

I'm 6 feet 4 inches (1.95M). You might be looking through the windshield. Givi also offers one that's about two inches lower.

@@NarrowRoadRider thanks for your answer do you have a givi reference for the little one ?

The Givi D4132S is lower than the D4132ST. They are both on the Givi website.

Thank you.

The upgrade will be very noticeable difference.

You're welcome.

I posted a video on the warranty fix. You might need to go through your Givi dealer to get the lockset replacement parts under warranty.

@@NarrowRoadRider Merci beaucoup Je cherche votre vidéo et j’envoie un mail au vendeur Merci encore et bon week end à vous ✌️

Sounds good. I hope everything works out for your lockset replacement. Thanks and have a great weekend also.

Thank you. 👍

My fog lights were installed by the dealer when I got the bike so unfortunately, I won't be able to make a video of that.

I purchased my topcase from an Italian distributor who shipped it to me in Canada. You can try reaching out to them. They were really good to work with. They might be able to help you out. They are "Omniaracing Special Parts" in Italy. Hopefully you can get your topcase fixed under warranty.

Glad you enjoyed the video. I will be looking out for the light kit and I'll be sure to make an install video when I get it. 👍

muchas gracias to compre tambien en italia en ebay soy de españa malaga y estoy muy contentocon el top case,y quiero tambien ponerle las luces,saludos y esperando ese video compañero de la vida motero como yo bendiciones@@NarrowRoadRider

You're welcome my friend. I'm looking forward to getting the lights too when Givi releases them. I've been to Malaga Spain once a long long long time ago. Blessings from the Toronto area bro.

NO LO HAGAS, LE QUEDAN ESPANTOSO A LA MOTO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you bro.

Thank you for the feedback.

Only time will tell. I think the replacement parts should work out. I did notice a very slight difference in the replacement part that mounts in the topcase lid. I suspect the plastics used in the locking mechanism may have been the issue. Can't say for absolute sure on that last part. The new parts are working perfectly so far. Riding season is finished where I live so will see how it goes next Spring.

@@NarrowRoadRider Good to know. I forwarded my concerns to my retailer in Italy (limited Australian stockists quickly sold out) and attached a link to your video to illustrate my issue. I hope they take the hint and forward a new lock mechanism to me also. Thanks.

I think Givi should be able to get your topcase taken care of under warranty. Hope it all works out.

It sounds like the start of a lock set issue. The case should operate smoothly all the time. If it is not locking properly, I think you should look into a warranty lock set replacement with your Givi dealer.

Agreed. 👍

Thank you for the feedback. They market the bikes differently in North America. The side cases are priced in. I'm in Canada.

I ran into the same problem with mine also. I found that when the temperature drops to around 17C (62F), the locking mechanism does not engage properly. When I warm up the topcase it functions normally again. I think this is a manufacturing defect. I have reached out to the seller I got the topcase from and they are working with Givi to get the issue fixed under warranty. I agree, this is somewhat disappointing.

I'm 195(cm).

Hi my friend. I am 6feet 4inches (195cm) tall. I agree, the stock windshield is really bad for taller riders. If you make the switch, let me know what you think. Blessings.

No. The baseplate and the rack are both sold separately from the topbox.

You would need to price them out with your local Kawasaki dealer or online. The bags come standard with the 2023 model in Canada. You are correct, no brackets are needed as the mounts are built into the bike already.

Sorry to hear that. It sounds like the Barkbusters have a different profile from the factory hand guards. Thanks for sharing your experience.

It is better than the stock windshield in my opinion however, it will get scratches.

Thank you. It's the Givi Windshield Part #: D4132ST. I posted an install video on it.

Thanks mate! What do u think about the tire..I think it's garbage.. I'm going either for battlax s22 or rosso 4..

@@georgevayenas6374 They are not the best tires but, I'm not too rough on them. Let me know which tire you end up going with.

@NarrowRoadRider yes of course I ll give u feedback!
