I haven't heard this about Kawasaki, but those I know who ride newish Suzuki bikes have this to contend with; apparently Suzi (here in the UK anyway) reduced their service interval to 3500 miles.
Could this be to keep their dealers happy during the ongoing recession?
It sure is a PITA.
One particular rider I have spoken with explained that he is not too concerned because, as a condition of buying a new DL650 from a dealer, the latter will ensure that the service book is correctly stamped; so, even if he goes on a longish trip and exceeds these recommended service intervals, they will keep the service book records in "tip top" condition for the manufacturers' warranty.
