Harb67 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 dude kawasaki has so many recalls that it makes me not want to even bother looking into buying one anymore.I think they have the most out of everyone.All bikes have problems - I'm happy to see Kawi doing something about them. The R/R on Triumph's 675 models is known to be absolute garbage and they cause problems for a significant portion of owners, but Triumph has refused to do anything since 2006.
