Kawasaki recently came clean and explained why the 2011 ZX-10R recall was instituted, but how does that make you feel?
According to Kawasaki engineers, the proactive sales hold resulted from a finding that indicated possible surging of the intake valve spring when the unit is operated under unique riding conditions, such as on a racetrack. The surge could cause the intake valve to seat improperly, resulting in poor engine performance.
The camshaft, valve springs, and spring retainers are being replaced to prevent the valves from surging, without affecting engine performance.
What does that mean to you? Is it cool that Kawi admitted the problem and is fixing it, or is it worrisome that they're making a change on the fly? Would you buy one despite these issues?
