July 31st , August 1st - Kawasaki on strike

Some update about our situation.  We are still in Albania, still in Sarande!! The city is not bad, we have sea view from the garage ;) but we are getting bored...Being stucks in the same place for so long is not our powaaaa philosophy. 

The problem is not solve yet. Our worst fear problem since the beginning is electronic and/or electric problem and that`s what we are facing with the Kawasaki right now. Even if the garage team is helping us, we are feeling a stagnation in the way to resolve our issue. 

We have imagined different scenarios, plans, options, that`s how we spent the 2 last days.

First of all, we thought it was the regulator rectifier, so the garage found one in Corfu (a greek island in front of us). The rectifier arrived before yesterday but unfortunately did not fit on the Kawa :( (of course they sent the wrong one - WDF )

But we know they have one from the Kawasaki Versys model which is fitting on the Z1000...So yesterday to save times, we decided to take a fast boat and pick up the rectifier by ourself. Back from the trip, new rectifier pugged, same problem...Overheating...So we figure out its maybe not the main problem (don't forget we also changed the battery 3 days ago, when the problem appears on the road).

New rectifier, new battery but still it doesn't work (overheating and not a correct voltage). Last chance, the alternator ?? We tested the voltage at high RPM and it is not correct. A new alternator will be sent tonight from Volga (a city not far from here)...Hopefully it will be the source of the problem and we can be on the road tonight. We like Albania but Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and  Italy is still waiting for us !
