The 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R has 2 recalls, both electrical, with the most serious being a faulty voltage regulator that fails to keep the battery charged, which can cause the motorcycle to stall without warning while riding.
The second issue involves the main wiring harness in the tail section, where the harness can rub against a bolt and rivet over time, eventually wearing through the insulation and creating a short circuit that can also stall the engine.
