What owners report

Verbatim reports filed with NHTSA, lightly edited for readability and with personal information removed.

“Fuel is leaking from a weld on the gas tank. It drips onto the hot engine and the wiring harness over the 12v battery. Kawasaki has had this problem since 2003 and it is well documented on internet forums. This is a potentially fatal design flaw and could lead to fire and or explosions.”
