(kmc) is recalling certain 2018-2020 ninja h2 sx, ninja h2 sxse, and 2019-2020 ninja h2 sxse+ motorcycles. in the event of a gear misengagement the engine electronic control unit (ecu) programming doesn't have the capability to suppress high rpm during transmission. if the transmission gears are not properly engaged while shifting into 4th or 5th gear, high engine rpm can cause the output gears of 4th or 5th to fracture when the gears re-engage.
