“I was driving making a right turn and the engine started making a loud banging noise. It made it 3 times and the engine just cut off. I almost got into a accident. On top of that the right fender on my bike keeps popping out of the socket and just hangs there I called Kawasaki dealership about it several times.. This is my first bike..”

NHTSA complaint #10522991, filed 2013-07, 3,000 miles

“I have found that during approximately the first 10 min you are riding the bike, if you are above 3500 RPM and pull in the clutch and coast for an extended period of time the vehicle will stall. I have learned to watch for the stall but it will still catch you off guard on occasion when you let go of the clutch and want to go and the bike lurches and throws off your balance. Especially in a turn!!!”

NHTSA complaint #10525910, filed 2013-07, 400 miles

“I was riding the motorcycle on a public street. A vehicle was approaching me on a narrow road, when I downshifted from 6th gear to 5th gear to slow down, my motorcycle's engine stalled out. I purchased the motorcycle new from the dealer with only 5 miles on the odometer. Since I've owned the bike (purchased on 07/17/2013) the engine has stalled when engine breaking or downshifting several times now, with the most recent occurrence's happening on 07/25/2013.”

NHTSA complaint #10532226, filed 2013-07, 50 miles

“I was driving about 35mph downshifting slowing down for a stop. When I got to about 20mph I pulled in the clutch and the engine died, I panicked a little but was able to get the bike stopped. I started it back up while in traffic and committed to my turn and proceeded to the next stop. The bike did the same thing again, this time I was doing between 10-15mph and as soon as I pulled in the clutch it died. I was able to start the bike back up and continue on. …”
