Kawasaki ZR1200: Electrical

Affects Kawasaki ZR1200 · 2001 — about 150 vehicles.

The hazard

On certain motorcycles a section of the wire harness located above the headlight is routed incorrectly. As a result, turning the handlebar can put excessive pulling force on the harness particularly where it is secured by a rubber-coated metal clamp. Abrasion of the wire harness sheath and the wire insulation caused by the clamp can lead to malfunction of the turn signals, instrument lights, indicator lights, or fuel gauge. Malfunction of any of these items could create the risk of an accident resulting in injury or death. Correction: Dealers will re-route the main wiring harness behind the headlight.
