Details

What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the spring retaining pin on the frame may not have been completely welded in place and could fall out, allowing the sidestand to drop into the "parking" position.

Why it matters: If this occurred while the vehicle was in motion, a crash could occur.

The fix: Kawasaki will repurchase these motorcycles. The recall began on June 1, 2007. All dealers/owners have been notified.
