Kawasaki has issued a recall of its 2010 Z1000 models, both the standard and ABS models, due to a problem with brake hydraulics.
Owners are encouraged to get their bikes checked, with the problem being specifically that the brake hose could come into contact with the brake disc in hard braking, therefore creating a possible brake fluid leak in the future.
The work would involving replacing and/or adjusting the brake hose and involves about 1,160 units.
Your Kawasaki dealer can check the problem, which was originally discovered on June 15 after repairs for two models were filed at the European distributor.
No accidents have been reported and since the Toyota recall scandal, many companies have been very cautious about safety.
Better safe than sorry, though.
