Defect Summary:
On certain motorcycles, the pinch bolt hole on the left side of the lower front fork triple clamp was not threaded to the full design depth. This allowed the pinch bolt to be tightened to its designed torque value, but did not provide sufficient clamping force on the left fork tube.
Consequence Summary:

Corrective Summary:
Dealers will tap additional threads into the lower fork holder clamping bolt hole free of charge. Owners may contact Kawasaki at 866-802-9381.
