What are the defects?

When the vehicle is operated in low temperatures, water in the catch tank and breather tube may freeze, blocking the tube. This can result in increased pressure in the crankcase, causing oil to leak from the engine head area.

In addition, debris may collect on a depressed area of the exhaust manifold at an opening in the exhaust manifold cover.

What are the hazards?

Oil leaking from the engine head area or debris accumulated in the exhaust manifold may ignite, creating a fire hazard and increasing the risk of injury.

Wow. Looks like Kawasaki has not had any dramas providing rollover protection contrary to the bitching by Honda and Yamaha.

Well done.
