The problem

Kawasaki is recalling certain model year 2009 ex650c9f/fl and model year 2010 ex650caf/fl ninja 650 motorcycles. The right rear portion of the lower cowling can interfere with the operator's foot while in the process of applying the rear brake.

The risk

This could diminish the operator's control over brake force application or distract the operator, creating the potential for a crash resulting in injury or death.

The fix

Dealers will install an updated footrest guard and fairing bracket. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on july 19, 2010. Owners may contact kawasaki consumer services department at 1-866-802-9381.
