Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, accelerator pump diaphragms may be damaged from excessive assembly clamping pressure, which can allow fuel to leak from the pump actuating rod area.
Why it matters: Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire.
The fix: Dealers will replace the accelerator pump diaphragm. Owner notification began on January 20, 2004. Owners should contact kawasaki at 1-949-770-0400.
