“I was riding my 1999 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad at 60mph when with no warning the engine lost power and died out, good thing my hand was covering the clutch. I immediately pulled it in and coasted to the side of the road. Had it towed to my house. Took to mechanic and the gear for the oil pump went out causing damage to the motor. I do not understand why Kawasaki will not do anything about this problem, are they waiting for a huge law suit after someone loses there life. Guess they do not hold there product to the highest regards to quality or customer satisfaction. …”
