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

Can't see it worrying the Hawk Kawasaki team.

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!!
