I emailed Kawasaki Australia (who still haven't replied) and rang the dealer I bought it from, and that was what he told me. I know my VIN falls in the range, but I wouldn't imagine the dealer would give false info regarding something like this. He was also the one who said mine was built too early. So maybe I do have A000000, or maybe I'm just specialpittster wrote:What was before A000001Nosferatu wrote:Wow, seems like a lot of members here got the duds.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars to the saddle.

I think your dealer is trying to pull a shifty on you personally, id look into it furtherNosferatu wrote:I emailed Kawasaki Australia (who still haven't replied) and rang the dealer I bought it from, and that was what he told me.

Yep....Agree with Kawawog.
Kawasaki emailed me the recall letter to print out to take to the dealer which they should do for you. I sent them an email last friday & received a reply on tuesday.

Stupid dealer. Good thing I emailed Kwaka Aus on the same day. Just received an email back from them with the letter attached, so I can get it fixed now.greenmeanie wrote:Kawawog wrote:

WTF is the point of telling someone a complete fucking lie when it concerns a safety recall? NOT HAPPY JAN! I've never had a problem with them until now, and I'm seriously considering not taking it to them to get the repairs done.

I don't think they'd mind at all, from what I've been told dealers don't like recall work they get paid next to nothing for it. Take it to them for the punishmentNosferatu wrote:Stupid dealer.
