Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R: Steering
Affects Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R · 2006 — about 400 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain motorcycles, the bolt that attaches the steering damper body to the frame bracket may not have been tightened sufficiently during vehicle assembly. If the bolt loosens and backs out completely, the steering damper could inhibit free movement of the steering assembly leading to a loss of steering control which could cause a crash with injuries or death. Correction: Dealers will tighten the steering damper mounting bolt to specs.
