What is wrong
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE PINCH BOLT HOLE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LOWER FRONT FORK TRIPLE CLAMP WAS NOT THREADED TO THE FULL DESIGN DEPTH. THIS ALLOWED THE PINCH BOLT TO BE TIGHTENED TO ITS DESIGNED TORQUE VALUE, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CLAMPING FORCE ON THE LEFT FORK TUBE.
What can happen
THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE STEERING PROBLEMS AND CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL TAP ADDITIONAL THREADS INTO THE LOWER FORK HOLDER CLAMPING BOLT HOLE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 17, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KAWASAKI AT 866-802-9381.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
