What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I used it around less then 30 miles. Next day when I wanted to use it did not run so I called the agency where I bought the motorcycle and they pick it up. Is been 2 weeks since they pick it up and they have the motorcycle all in parts fixing it and I told them to give me a new one and they don't want it.
Weld near the kickstand broke away from the frame causing frame to bend near bolt area. Vital part of frame, not sure what would happen if continued to ride motorcycle. Notified dealer for repair, they contact kawasaki who said they would replace the frame.
