New 2004 VN750 -

Hi all - I just purchased my first new Kawasaki, a Vulcan 750 A20. So far so good, though after having the bike in my hands for a little over a month, I have come across some things that make me wonder about Kawasaki...And these are things that I would have not found or realized at the time of delivery.
For example: I have found several cross threaded bolts. I did so by finding them loose (from the factory) and trying to tighten them. Broke a couple...! Also the finish on several areas is less than good - like the ear foot peg mounts, the chrome is not finished looks scratched. I would have expected a finished product. Same thing for the frame paint, in one very visible area the paint looks like over-spray, not shiny of finished. Then there is the transmission - many times while downshifting to a stop at slow speed, the gear shifter may end up 'in-between' gears. In order to get it in gear again, I have to release the clutch slightly so it catches again.
While I don’t mean to be picky, this is a brand new bike and I would have though the K’s quality would have not let this happen. It worries :roll: me that if I have found this so far, what else may be hidden that wont show up until later. These are clearly defects in manufacturing and craftsmanship by any standards. What is it with K’s quality?
The salesperson laughed at me when brought these things to their attention at visit a few days later, they said I should have said something at pre-delivery. Is this typical bike dealer behavior? So I have taken it to their service department who has agreed to submit my issues to Kawasaki, but no guarantees as to what they will do. While they have agreed to get some of this corrected, I get the feeling (from them) that I am expecting too much from a bike (and dealer).
Is Kawasaki not known for attention to detail? What should I expect?

Any feedback from new bike buyers or people in the business appraciated!
