Since I worked at kawi and know some of the riders I can say with certainty that kawi never did anything under handed or play dirty per se during my time there and even for some years prior . . it simply wasn't their mind set and in fact kawi never put pressure on any riders to win . . its actually almost as. Though they didn't care if the riders won . . at least they didn't want them to win by riding dirty etc. . . after Hondas attempted blatant rip off of the Loretta Lynn ATV race factory Honda rider mike coe went to the KAWASAKI pits.. . also jimmy white said that Honda riders were allowed to practice and tune the day before some of the races but everyone else was not . . if anyone has any knowledge of kawi acting poorly I would be interested to hear about it.
