Steering: steering wheel/handle bar
Problem: On certain motorcycles, the bolt that attaches the steering damper body to the frame bracket may not have been tightened sufficiently during vehicle assembly.
Risk: If the bolt loosens and backs out completely, the steering damper could inhibit free movement of the steering assembly causing a loss of steering control. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will tighten the steering damper bolt to the proper torque and inspect the damper movement. The recall began on april 28, 2006. Owners may contact kawasaki at 1-866-802-9381.
