What was before A000001

Model - ZX1000E8F, ZX1000E9F - Vin Range - JKAZXCE1__A000001 ~ JKAZXCE1__A025542
Maybe you have the A000000
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

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

I think your dealer is trying to pull a shifty on you personally, id look into it further

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.

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
