POTENTIAL LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
RM/2005/027 · 16 Dec 2005
16 Dec 2005Defect
It has been identified thatthe steering tie rod ends could separate during operation due either to wear or impact leading to loss of steering control. Prior to each and every ride Kawasaki strongly recommends that you inspect the tie rods according to the inspection procedure. If free play is found the machine should not be ridden until such time as a repair has been carried out. If no free play is found the machine should not be ridden in adverse or rough conditions and or with a heavy load. Should you feel incapable of carrying out the inspection your Kawasaki dealer should be contacted for advice.
Remedy
Recalled machines will have the steering tie rods replaced with quality assured parts.

POSSBILE FAILURE OF SUSPENSION/STEERING
RM/2005/021 · 17 Aug 2005
17 Aug 2005Defect
It has been established that a significant impact to either front wheel whilst the steering is on full lock can result in deformation of the steering ball joint mounting hole within the steering knuckle. Over time the ball joint can become loose in the knuckle and cause the mounting hole to wear. Continued use of the vehicle in this condition may eventually lead to separation of the ball joint resulting in suspension/steering failure and the potential for an accident.
Remedy
It is the intention to recall all likely to be affected machines and change the subject steering components. However before this is done Kawasaki will inform owners of the need to check the suspension and steering before riding the machine and comprehensive instructions on how to do this are to be issued. It should be noted that if any free play is found within the steering knuckle the machine should not be ridden until such time as the re-work is carried out.
