There's just not that many members who can answer technical questions about the many mechanical issues that come up. Add to that, most people, only come here to ask, not to answer any questions. And further, when they do find the answer to their issue, they fail to share this information to the thread. This inaction, keeps the search function from being the asset, that it could be!
But it's the same at most forums. However the problem seems larger, given the smaller membership here. Especially coupled with our lack of mechanical experts. I've really only been on the mule, section of this forum, and we could really use a half dozen Kawasaki mechanics. Maybe a factory rep. or similar. You get the picture.
