Details
What's wrong: Kawasaki motors Corp., U.S.a. (kmc) is recalling certain 2016-2018 zx-10r and zx-10rr (zx1000r, zx1000s, and zx1000z) motorcycles. A high impact force may cause the transmission gears to break during shifting.
Why it matters: If the transmission gears break it can cause a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Kmc will notify owners, and dealers will replace the 2nd, 3rd, 4th output gears and the 2nd input gear, free of charge. Owners are advised to not ride their motorcycles until the repair has been performed. The recall began on February 26, 2018.
