Kawasaki KLR650: Electrical

Affects Kawasaki KLR650 · 2008–2009 — about 3K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain motorcycles, the main wiring harness can chafe against the frame, causing the engine to stop running. Engine stalling would result in lost propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will reinforce and reroute the main wiring harness.
