    Kawasaki 636 Recall - Fork issues.

    I think the pic explains it all. Bloody cheap weak kawasaki forks, someone could get hurt.

    Doubt that's Yamaha's/EDIT:Kawasaki's fault. The bike's missing the windscreen, rear cover -- hell, it's got those `stunt protector' things on the side. Probably been dropped and abused way too many times, metal fatigue or something. That's why you're not really supposed to straighten bent forks.

    No, I thought it looked remarkably like an 03/04 636.

    At least he was wearing his safety bandana and Ray Bans - it could have been a lot worse.

    In defence of the motorcycle manufacturer, they don't actually make the forks...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
