Consumer Description

I OWN A 2002 KAWASAKI ZZR-1200 MOTORCYCLE. I EXPERIENCED SEVERE PITTING ON MY CAM SHAFTS NOTICED BY MY MECHANIC AND WELL DOCUMENTED ON WWW.ZZR1200.NET WEBSITE BY NUMEROUS OTHER ZZR-1200 OWNERS. KAWASAKI DID WARRANTY THE DAMAGED CAM SHAFTS BUT ONLY BECAUSE I PURCHASED THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY CONTRACT. IM QUITE CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED BY THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CAM SHAFTS. I HAVE MY DOUBTS THAT THE REPLACEMENT CAM SHAFTS ARE OF BETTER, MORE STURDY QUALITY. I URGE YOUR ORGANIZATION TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS ISSUE AND HOLD KAWASAKI ACCOUNTABLE IN CORRECTING THIS SITUATION IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ASSISTANCE. *LA
