ZX-10R recall warning
Kawasaki is recalling the ZX-10R and advising owners NOT TO RIDE until they have had their front wheels replaced.

Beware of cheap front wheels being sold on Ebay in the near future.;)

what a bummer, just imagine, hot weekend, all sorts of plans of places to go like brands etc, got your shiney new zx10 in the garage, and you can`t ride it......i would be really pi55ed off....... luckily my shiney not so new 748 is raring to go ! :roll:
gotta say full marks to Kawasaki in confessin'.
No doubt there's a bit of hari kari being contemplated somewhere.
Now, if they had a problem with the oil cooler that was liable to spill it's guts onto the back wheel, thereby giving rise to a very serious sequence of events probably leading to major accident - would they have taken the same major "DO NOT RIDE" steps?

There'll be a few pinkies flying around KHI no doubt!
Oh well, taking JS out one bike at a time, sounds good to me!
Cheers!

Apparently there's a shortage of front wheels too, as it's a brand new light-weight design that they've now got to sort!
Doesn't look like anyone is going to be riding their ZX10R for a few months as yet!! :o
