1 recall across 1 model year
The Kawasaki ZX1100 has 1 recall affecting the 1990 model year, where the engine sprocket nut lockwasher can fail to hold the nut secure, allowing the sprocket to work loose and come off, which can cause the drive chain to lock the rear wheel and throw the motorcycle into an uncontrolled stop or crash.
When the sprocket separates, the chain has nowhere to go and can jam the rear wheel almost instantly, leaving the rider with no ability to manage the stop.
