a heads up on the new fx850efi engine with electronic throttle, seen this problem twice now. engine starts surging up and down, check battery voltage, will be high about 17 volts. unplug regulator, problem goes away. replace regulator. seems computer is trying to lower voltage by throttling down, when it does lower it revs up. cycle repeats

I'd let Kawasaki know about the problem so they might can find a solution.

Kawasaki has already received 2 warranty claims. they rarely admit to any fault with their engines so you may not hear for a long time, that's why I gave the heads up.
