Also what mpg or miles on a tank of gas should i get? Cause i filled it up sat morning rode for about 3-4 hrs then sun for about 2 hrs and ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere in the woods and had to b towed home. just wondering if my jetting is off or thats about normal as it is a big motor. i rode the trails 2nd 3rd gear normally bouncing in and out of the powerband. did a few nice hill climbes as well...for my first actual ride on the k5 i got to say im not disapointed at all. Nice power climbs hills like they are nothing. Never climbed some of these hills out here that easy on a 4 poker or other 2 stroke bike or quad. K5 is a beast for sure!!!!

I looked the kickstarter up and it says its discontinued but I'm pretty sure other years will fit, but I bet others will chime in.

As for the fuel economy lol I think you got pretty far, even my 250 sucks the gas away like its nothing! ;)

yea a lot of sites have discontinued selling the item but the item itself is still for sale...ive found it on several sites and it looks like kawasakipartsteam.com is the cheapest so far at 89 buck worldofpowersports.com is asking 110 bucks...i wonder if theres a site cheaper then kawasakipartsteam.com? As for the gas if thats good mpg then shiooot im in trouble sat and sun were just practice trail rides to see what it and myself could do. I normally ride from sun up to sun down only coming home to eat lunch. Guess ill have to make extra trips home for my gas

Depends on how and where I ride.
It can last as little as 1 hour or as many as 4.
If I'm in the sand I usually get 1-2 hours.

Your "milage" per tankfull is going vary greatly relative to engine load and speeds. I can go approx 45 miles of cruising 60 mph logging roads or as little as 15 miles of low speed technicall  trails.... There is no clear answer.
