Possible recall of bikes

[cpettifer]

The 2year warranty expired on June 16th I believe. I did try to get previous owner to get the  additional 2years sorted but it was too late before I bought. No problem with adjuster now. The WD40 worked a treat. Wake up call for us all to check them frequently. Am half way through installing the Zumo and Autocom. Tool tray sorted, power to the rear accessory wires done. Just need to route cabling to the front and return PTT switch wiring to the rear. Then it's screen and exhaust.

Cheers for the advice.

Kawasaki may still replace as a goodwill gesture for known issues. I had a known issue with the downpipes on my Versys and had them replaced for free 6 months out of warranty. You should get in touch with your local dealer if you think there's a problem with the pre-load. It's definitely a known problem!

[bTthose ranges include mine as well. So looks like a trip to MCO Bikes for me...once the letter from Kawasaki arrives that is.

I agree that having had this, or a simular problem before on previous models, that it should really have been sorted during manufacture to avoid this recall [/b]

Mine is out of the warranty. She is now 3 years old..
Bournemouth Kawasaki will put a claim in to Kawasaki for the work to be done free as this is a defect on their part.

at least it wont cost for the repair to be effected Debs...spose that's some small comfort

Ive not had a letter.. I just contacted them and was confirmed about the problem.. I am now the 5th who have contacted our dealer about this and will now wait for them to ring when to arrange a time to go in.

Im also glad, but without these Forums/Facebook pages I dont think I would have ever known. Great to know everyone is sharing info.

mmmm, that's not good really, as any franchised dealer is legally obliged to make contact with customers whose bikes/car is affected by a recall, especially so if its safety related, as it is a DOT requirement.

Well done you for bringing it to our attention

Yeah, top girl debs! This forum is great for spreading the news, good or bad. I would have veered away from buying private without  the prior knowledge of what to look for. Mind you the bikes a beauty !

I used the contact number supplied, but is out of action. Rang Kawasaki Uk on 01628856750 customer services. They confirmed the recall and stated letters will be arriving in the next couple of weeks if your GTR is to be recalled. They confirmed over the phone that my GTR is due for recall. So rather waiting for the letter to arrive, i contacted the main dealers in my area to confirm with them the above. They are now ordering the part and will contact me when arrived to book in for the refit.

Hope that  this will help you to get the ball rolling rather than waiting for the letter to arrive.

[coman37]
