Although I was hoping to avoid this thread and subject. Folks never want to believe other folks that KIPASS does have a history of trouble. Although IMO, the troubles are fewer and farther between lately. Hopefully the (unofficial) changing of the KIPASS actuator return spring by Kawasaki has made a difference in this. I decided to quote some of the posts that some of the folks had made in the past. This came about a short while back in another of many KIPASS threads. One of many KIPASS threads that tend to always divide folks on the subject and create riffs in the forum. Just to note, most of these quotes were before the data crash on original COG forum (Concours{dot}org) that happened a little earlier this year. :
So although I had hoped to avoid this. It seems that there will always be a forum member who will want to see KIPASS failures for himself. So by posting these quotes, there will not be a thread that we can provide that will hopefully satisfy folks curiosity. Hopefully this might avoid the need for future full blown KIPASS threads and polls. I want to point out this this is only an example of some of the past KIPASS failures. This does not mean that this is by any means all of the failures. But it also does not mean that you will have KIPASSS trouble because of these. These posts are only to show that KIPASS does have a past including problems.
For reference, this quote is from another thread.

The poll stays, because I want to see how widespread the Kipass issue really is. I’m also not buying the notion that a large number of folks gave up on the C14, and are no longer hanging around to place their vote. I do concede that no poll will perfect, but if we see large numbers of failures, I for one want to know that. <snip>
