Oh wow. Don’t want to do that!Good looking mower. Enjoy it!
One word of caution though, having burned up a Kawasaki FR series engine by the 300 hour mark, my recommendation is to go with the thickest oil recommended by the manual. In this engine’s case, stick with 20W-50 for temps above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. https://www.kawasakienginesusa.com/...uals/99920-2289-01_fr651v-691v-730v_en_es.pdf
The salesman did mention that maintenance on the Kawi is critical. His opinion was that the Kohler, while not as torquey, was more forgiving of lackluster maintenance.
Any idea what the issue was with yours?
