RECALL (non-VFR) - Kawasaki ZX-6R and ZX-10R

U.S. Department of Transportation – (National) NHTSA recall notice - Kawasaki Ninja ZX battery regulator. Kawasaki announced February 24 the recall of 20,544 model year 2008-2011 Ninja ZX-10R and 2009-2012 Ninja ZX-6R motorcycles manufactured from December 14, 2007 through July 26, 2011. Due to a manufacturing error, the regulator/rectifier may insufficiently charge the battery. If the battery discharges, the motorcycle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash. Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the voltage regulator. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about February 27.

(For those of you who have Kawi's in your stable....jealous of your VFR.)

LOL...Honda would go broke replacing charging components on the VFR alone!

Thanks for the heads-up.... My brother has a ZX-10 in his stable.   I'll drop him an e-mail.


Hooked on your blog postings now.   By the way.   Can those strawberry things be shipped?

Hope your brother hasn't had any issues yet and is safe. =)

Thanks for reading the blogs. And unfortunately no, those things don't travel well. They're worth the 100 mile ride but I'm not sure about coming from Kansas. =/ If you ever find yourself in southern California, I'll take you for a donut and introduce you to Glendora Mountain Road.

Kawasaki is known for its sports motorcycle products. The U.S. CPSC publicized Thurs that Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., based in Irvine, Calif., is willingly recalling a number of its Teryx Recreational Off-Highway Automobiles. The recall targets a misprinted label that, if heeded, can lead to a heightened potential for accidents and/or death. Get a new vehicle to avoid difficulties with a loan for a car .
