DONT SPEAK TO SOON

[DMNTD]

Just went to kawasaki.com (http://www.kawasaki.com) and there's no news of a recall there...as yet.
Would've thought they have it posted there with all the others listed.
Needless to say I will be seeing the local dealer in the morning to confirm.
Someone pass me my meds :sherlock:

[SixPackBack]

Oh Fuck...dunno whats goin on but its hot topic number one earlier today on me favourite gixxer site...buggers slaggin Kawasaki's latest and greatest.Thought of you straight away TL but not wanting to upset you kept me mouth shut, but hey the words out now:weep:

[SwanTiger]

aah, THIS MUST EXPLAIN WHY TL WAS PASSED BY A HYOSUNG, YOUR OFF THE HOOK THIS TIME BUDDY!

[White trash]

I say fuck it, DON"T contact the dealer and ride your bike untill oyu receive a recall notice. If you ring 'em, and they say "That's right, bring it in" you're without a bike for six months. If you ignore the rumours and ride it 'till advised otherwise, it's under warranty and how were you to know?

Or. You could trade it and buy a real bike. Like a Gixxer ferinstance......

I HEARD THOSE GIXXERS ARE PRETTY FUCKEN GOOD ALLRIGHT , CEPT FOR LOOSE BRUCES BUT HES A RAPIST

[SwanTiger]

This must be bullshit, there are no press releases or new reports to be found ANYWHERE. Someone has started one of those gay Internet rumours that last for a week until the "in question" company/entity releases a denial/correction statement.

Knowing WINJA, he probably read it off a gay midgit porn site.

Listen you fruit cake hand bag riding nutter...I WAS PULLING OVER!!! Let it go... :motu:


SPB: Cheers for saving my delicate mental state mate :woohoo:
Oh well if is a gearbox bearing I'll get it sorted and invite the ZX slaggers for a leisurely cruise up my way so they can prove just how lame my scooter is :shifty:
Still in saying that I'm surprised that Kawasaki.com hasn't got it on their recall list...will be ussed out tomorrow either way :confused:

[bugjuice]

That's only when the smart little buggers detect there's a Kumandsukme pilot on board.

Survival of the fittest and all that.

Fuck this, I'm buying another Suzuki.

NOT LIKELY, is that a challenge? :Pokey:

[N4CR]

I heard something about the sv thous, please remember that they will give you a letter if it is required here. A motherboard I have for one of my computers was recalled in a US lawsuit.. but not here. I had the same problem as the ones in the states but did not qualify as I was not there. So DO NOT notify the dealers, keep riding and wait for them to get to you... unlikely there will be a recall unless it's a big deal and heaps crap out over here.

[cowpoos]

Fuck this, I'm buying another Suzuki.

when????????

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE WORTH BUYING? GET A SUZUKI AND YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE THING FALLING TO BITS

[Maha]

Superbike Planet have re-released their press released....it reads as follows....
We here at Superbike Planet have made a grave mistake, or at least someone in our organisation has, the recall was in fact for all and every Winja ever made.
The manufacture's of Winja's have no choice but to recall these malfunctioning time wasters and erge everyone not to listen to the noise ommitted from all models as the pain barrier could easily be broken............:mega: :rofl:

[cowpoos]

tis true.....they only fall over....

[Finn]

Just found this. What a fuck up!

CPSC, Kawasaki Motors Corp. Announce Recall of all 06 ZX10 Motorcycles
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., of Irvine, Calif., is voluntarily recalling about 8,000 motorcycles. This is due to major gearbox and crank bearing issues on these motorcycles.

CPSC and Kawasaki have not received any reports of injuries. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.

Consumers should stop using the motorcycles immediately. Owners should immediately return their motorcycle to a Kawasaki dealership for a free replacement. Due to the severity of the problem, owners may experience significant delays as we work through the replacement program. For more information, consumers should call their local dealership or Kawasaki at (866) 802-9381, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. PT Monday through Friday; or, go to the company's website at www.kawasaki-media.com.

[Cajun]

I know for a fact kawasaki nz will lie to your face about factory recalls, we dealt with them problems in the kawasaki vulcan 1500. There was a recall in the states, if a problem occured, you roll your bike in to dealer the fix it free of charge and you ride away again. Here they said no such problem exsitied even when we prodvided them with the extact problem kawasaki jp reason for recall etc etc.

ALl you can do is wait for it annoced in the states, offically from kawasaki.
and then decide from there.

[SARGE]

if you read it on the Inter-nut.. it must be true....



Elvis and i are having cocktails later...

Hoax. The companies media site is http://www.kawasaki.com/media. The link above does not work.

You're all behaving exactly as the hoaxer intended. He's probably sitting reading all these sites saying muhahahaha and looking at his gixxer/blade/r1 and wishing he could ride it.

[Sniper]

If this is true, its going to be a real arsehole of a thing. Imagine buying a brand new bike only to have it taken away.... Fingers crossed it doesn't apply to you TL

[bugjuice]

Kawa don't issue recalls on the 'media' side anyway.

The recalls bit is under the menu at the top: Owner Info / Recall Info
and even then, to find anything out is a mission..

[MSTRS]

WT - you been 'playing'? Again?

[WINJA]

NOT LIKELY, is that a challenge? :Pokey:
A CHIMP ON A TRIKE WOULD BE MORE THAN A CHALLENGE FOR YOU, COULD PROLLY DO YOUR JOB BETTER AS WELL , MAYBE HED EVEN SCORE MORE CHICKS THAN YOU, MIND YOU ZERO ISNT A BIG NUMBER TO BEAT

That was lame, immature and lame.

Come back to me when you've got something decent old timer.

[Qkchk]

Has anyone found out anymore info if its true or not?

[Korumba]

You have got me worried…
I hope they don’t recall my ZZR…..but I am somewhat confident that after 15 years and 97,000 ks the bearing should be just about run in!!!
Do you thing I should contact Japan and give them my phone number just in case.

If they had brains and bought a proper bike like a Harley they wouldn't have this problem.

How could one argue with that?

[scumdog]

Ah, the retort (alas a pathetic one but) of the true 'other type' of rider - the one that wants to own Harley!!!!!:rofl:

[Cookie]

So what gives with the recall. I am assuming it was a hoax. Was it?

[bugjuice]

Like the K6 SV high safety ratings, it all looks like a hoax so far..
no official word on either (well, on one at least)

[Teflon]

Ah, the retort (alas a pathetic one but) of the true 'other type' of rider - the one that wants to own Harley!!!!!:rofl:
Yeah, that 50hp engine and that potatoe sound..

[Madmax]

on the 04 it was the front wheel and the engine bearings
were to tight, had mine done and it went like a jet after
:sunny:

[scumdog]

Yeah, that 50hp engine and that potatoe sound..

50hp? Never knew they HAD that much grunt!!:whistle:

[Teflon]

I was surprised to.. the extra 49hp comes from the Japanese parts they use..

[scumdog]

I was surprised to.. the extra 49hp comes from the Japanese parts they use..

I KNEW it! If they had stuck with gen-you-wine H-D parts it would be 149hp +!!;) :whistle:
