Recall 06V005000103 vehicles

Problem
ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE PINCH BOLT HOLE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE LOWER FRONT FORK TRIPLE CLAMP WAS NOT THREADED TO THE FULL DESIGN DEPTH. THIS ALLOWED THE PINCH BOLT TO BE TIGHTENED TO ITS DESIGNED TORQUE VALUE, BUT DID NOT PROVIDE SUFFICIENT CLAMPING FORCE ON THE LEFT FORK TUBE.
Risk
THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE STEERING PROBLEMS AND CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR A CRASH RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.
Fix
DEALERS WILL TAP ADDITIONAL THREADS INTO THE LOWER FORK HOLDER CLAMPING BOLT HOLE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 17, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KAWASAKI AT 866-802-9381.
