Details

What's wrong: Due to a manufacturing error, the regulator/rectifier may insufficiently charge the battery.

Why it matters: If the battery discharges, the motorcycle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Kawasaki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the voltage regulator, free of charge. The safety recall began on February 24, 2012.
