The 2018 Kawasaki Z900 has 2 recalls, the most serious involving rear brake hose and wheel speed sensor wiring that can contact the spinning rear tire, damaging the hose and reducing braking ability or disabling ABS.
The second recall concerns the rear shock absorber: if the shock bottoms out, the mounting holes in the frame can become oval-shaped, preventing the shock from working correctly and raising the risk of losing control.
