What was before A000001 :shock: Model - ZX1000E8F, ZX1000E9F - Vin Range - JKAZXCE1__A000001 ~ JKAZXCE1__A025542

Maybe you have the A000000 :D

I wonder if the 25542 would be the total amount of zx10 bikes sold over 2 years?

I have 38,000 on mine you would think it would of let go by now I wonder if i can keep it just incase :kuda:

I emailed Kawasaki Australia (who still haven't replied) and rang the dealer I bought it from, and that was what he told me. I know my VIN falls in the range, but I wouldn't imagine the dealer would give false info regarding something like this. He was also the one who said mine was built too early. So maybe I do have A000000, or maybe I'm just special :roll:

Yep....Agree with Kawawog.

Kawasaki emailed me the recall letter to print out to take to the dealer which they should do for you. I sent them an email last friday & received a reply on tuesday.

Stupid dealer. Good thing I emailed Kwaka Aus on the same day. Just received an email back from them with the letter attached, so I can get it fixed now.

WTF is the point of telling someone a complete fucking lie when it concerns a safety recall? NOT HAPPY JAN! I've never had a problem with them until now, and I'm seriously considering not taking it to them to get the repairs done. :x :x

I don't think they'd mind at all, from what I've been told dealers don't like recall work they get paid next to nothing for it. Take it to them for the punishment :)
