Time for a recall

Postby Gnarkill78 » Thu Dec 24, 2009 2:30 pm

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything else posted so here goes.

Has anyone else heard about this one? I went into CMC at Fyshwick this morning just to check, since I hadn't received a letter from Kawasaki yet. Turns out my bike is one of the ones on the recall list for a suspect oil leak on to the rear wheel. Glad I did go and check it out though. I wouldn't have known at all but the fella in at the bank this morning mentioned there was a recall on the 2010 models. Well I can confirm it's not just the 2010 model - http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index ... mId/971208
