HANDLEBAR BECAME RUSTY AND SNAPPED OFF. SEEMS TO BE COMMON AMONG 2007 NINJA 250S.
MY HUSBAND, AN EXPERIENCED RIDER, WAS RIDDING HOME FROM WORK ON OUR 2007 KAWASAKI NINJA EX 250. AS HE STARTED UP OUR DRIVEWAY THE THROTTLE STUCK RESULTING IN HIS CRASHING THE BIKE AND BREAKING HIS ANKLE. THIS FAILURE HAD OCCURRED AT LEAST 2 OTHER TIMES, AT LEAST ONCE DURING THE BREAK IN PERIOD. *TR
I MADE A RATHER ALARMING FIND TODAY WHILE INSPECTING MY 2007 KAWASAKI NINJA 250. THE LOWER ENGINE MOUNTING BOLT NUT HAD APPARENTLY LOOSENED FROM VIBRATION, AND AT SOME POINT ACTUALLY FELL OFF. THE NUT IS NOT SECURED (DOES NOT USE A COTTER KEY OR ANY OTHER METHOD TO PREVENT BACKING OFF). THE MOUNTING BOLT DID NOT APPEAR TO MOVE MORE THAN A FEW THOUSANDS OF AN INCH, AS IT CARRIES A PART OF THE TRANSFER LOAD TO THE FRAME. I WILL BE OBTAINING A REPLACEMENT NUT FROM THE DEALER PRIOR TO OPERATING. I AM MOST LIKELY GOING TO USE LOCTITE AFTER APPLYING THE PROPER TORQUE AS THERE IS NO OTHER METHOD AVAILABLE WITHOUT MODIFICATION TO SECURE THE BOLT, AND CHECK FOR SECURITY REGULARLY. RECOMMEND ADDRESSING THE ISSUE WITH KAWASAKI TO FIND A PERMANENT SOLUTION PRIOR TO ANY ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS CAUSED BY THIS DEFECT. I AM AWARE THAT THIS DEFECT IS KNOWN TO MEMBERS OF THE NINJA250.COM BOARD. I DO NOT THINK THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS PROBABLY NOT AWARE OF REPORTING PROCEDURES. *TR
BRAND NEW MOTORCYCLE HAD A OIL LEAK WHICH CAUSE ME TO NEARLY HAVE A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON THE A FREEWAY AND NEARLY DIE. I SPOKE WITH AN ATTORNEY WHO ADVISED ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE MODEL OF MY BIKE BUT KAWASAKI HAS DONE NONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
