Consumer Description

I OWN A 2007 KAWASAKI NINJA ZX6-R. I HAVE RECENTLY DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK AS HAVE MANY OF MY FELLOW RIDERS. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE WITH ALL OF THE BIKES. VALVE COVER GASKET LEAKS AND ISSUE WITH CAMS AND TAPPETS. IF OIL WAS TO COME OUT AT A WRONG ANGLE I COULD GET THE BACK TIRE SATURATED AND CAUSE A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS ANYONE IN THE AREA AROUND ME. THE MOTORCYCLE ONLY HAS 2052 MILES ON IT AND IS ONLY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD. NO NEED FOR A GASKET TO BE BAD ALREADY, I WOULD LIKE THIS SITUATION RECTIFIED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. *TR
