Kawasaki KSV700: Engine
Affects Kawasaki KSV700 · 2004 — about 546 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain ATV's, the throttle cable adjuster on the carburetor of some of the eligible units may not be sufficiently tightened and can loosen during engine operation. If the adjusting nut inside the pulley housing comes off the adjuster, it can prevent the throttle from fully closing. This creates the potential for an accident resulting in injury or death. Correction: Dealer will tighten the throttle cable locknut.
