KAWASAKI ZX1000 Recalls

1 recall across 1 model year

Summary

The Kawasaki ZX1000 has 1 recall affecting the 1988 model year, where the rear wheel hub damper can slip out of position under hard acceleration, deteriorate, and eventually cause the rear hub or transmission gears to break, leading to loss of control and a crash. The damper acts as a buffer between the drivetrain and the rear wheel, and once it begins to fail, continued riding accelerates the damage until the mechanical connection to the rear wheel can give out entirely.
