Suspension · reported Oct 30, 2012
I was riding in to a tunnel and heard a crack type noise then all of a sudden smoke appeared, the rear tire was rubbing under subframe slowing the bike down, the rear suspension had collapsed and the crossmember separated from the frame. The shock mount is hanging off the frame. This could have possibly caused a fatal accident.
Structure · reported Oct 17, 2007
Heard of people having problems with frames cracking on the internet and found out that mine is also cracked. It is a motorcycle and the rearend of the bike could come detached if the crack becomes a break. Also have a friend with a crack in the same location.

Http://www.zx14ninja.com/phpbb2/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=39ffbe2405e99cf124eb68e96916beab I was riding and hit a small pot hold and the frame broke, not just a brake but total frame failure. If it had happened in a corner I might not be here toregester this complaint. There are 3 broken frames I know of and one is to many. The site above lists some of them including mine with pictures.
Exterior Lighting · reported Jun 7, 2006
I have not had an incident as of yet but the problem I have deals with rear brake lights no coming on when pressure placed on brake lever. It takes more pressure to make them come on than is needed to stop in most situations. I have taken the motorcycle to the dealer and they didn't fix it and then I called kawasaki recall number and they said I needed to get back to the dealer about it. I have already had to pay for them just to look at them and tell me there wasn't a fix for this. Since that time I have chatted online with other owners of this bike that have found they have the same problem.
