What's wrong

The risk

The anti-lock function may not perform properly allowing for wheel lock up and skidding, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Kawasaki will notify owners and dealers will replace the affected ABS pumps with a new assembly. The recall began on August 5, 2013. Owners may contact Kawasaki at 1-866-802-9381.
